Lexus LF-H Spyshots

Advertisement

small_lfa.jpgThe Lexus LF-A Concept was shown last October at the Tokyo Motor Show, and Lexus/Toyota officials gave hints that it might be called the Lexus LF-H. Not too differnet from the concept name. Powered by a V10 engine with Formula 1 DNA making upwards of 500 horsepower, it’s expected to be thrown into the same league as the Porsche Carrera GT and the Lamborghini Gallardo. Although most of it’s competitors will be mid or rear engined, this Lexus has it’s powerplant at the front. But it will be rear wheel drive. The production car is already going through testing at Germany’s Nurburgring circuit, and the car is expected to be launched in 2007.

    Looks good.. Gotta love the exhaust outlets and diffusers..

    The side profile and bonnet air-intake is very Aston Martin-esque.. Nice.

    The front light clusters on this prototype is vertical, while the concept’s is horizontal. Its the reverse for the rear lights..

    The Esna Venere is said to be released sometime this year..

    Is this the replacement for Supra? By the way…that rear spoiler reminds me of…oh ya…the Bugatti Veron!

    Wow, this car looks super, love the triple exhaust pipes. Front looks a bit flat though, think it’d look better if it’s rounder, maybe it’s the headlights, hm. Cool car.

  11. Nissan GT-R announced » said,

    [...] To me, this is a good move as it allows Nissan to focus on the Nissan GT-R as a proper sports car, not a luxury sports car as it would have been if it was marketed under the Infiniti badge. Previously, it was said that the new car would be marketed under the Infiniti badge instead of a Nissan badge. Toyota is going the other way with it’s replacement for the Toyota Supra in it’s model line-up. It will be marketed under the Lexus badge as the Lexus LF-H. [...]
