Lexus LF-A Concept 2-seater sports car
This is not exactly 100% new – in fact it a concept with the same name and the same general direction was first shown in 2005 and production models of it have been spotted on the Nurburging. A concept will the same name will be displayed at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show next week in updated form so here is a short refresher course.
The Lexus LF-A Concept is a 2-seater sports car – or a super car if you like – that is supposed to be powered by a 5.0 liter V10 engine, likely the 2UR-GSE that made it’s debut in the Lexus IS-F. However, the one to go into the production LF-A might be one in a totally different state of tune considering the 9,000rpm redline of the LF-A Concept as seen in the dash photos after the jump, compared to the IS-F’s 7,000rpm redline.
The car’s body is made of light but sturdy carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP), so this is not merely a two-door version of the IS-F. Comparing the photos of the 2005 LF-A concept and the one that will be displayed at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show, it appears that Lexus has revised the LF-A Concept, with the interior looking noticeably different.
Check out photos of the updated LF-A Concept after the jump.

This car is magnificent! The interior is spacious and modern, The look of the car is marvelous…the only thing that i don’t really like is the rear view, overall its very good.

Front kinda reminds me of the S2000 and the side bottom like a Ferrari. And tri-exhaust? Whoa…Nice though.

This has to be one of the most beautiful car in the recent history of Japanese cars.
This car will make the Porsche and Audi looks so normal. Get ready Ferrari and Lamborghini! the Lexus is coming.
I love to hear the full song of this V10 at 9000rpm. It should sound better than the V8 of the F430. But probably not as good as the awesome (but expensive) Pagani Zonda.

It looks really nice, btw paul, IS-F is v8 isnt it?

This is going to be another great car coming out from Lexus’s stable. The name Lexus itself…already marked the highest standard of achievement and pursuit towards perfection. Extraordinarily outstanding.
