Lexus LF-A, OK?





Toyota I mean Lexus gets back into the supercar game with the introduction of the Lexus LF-A. Powered by a 4.8 liter v-10 that will crank out 560 hp and and 354lb.ft of torque, and featuring titanium valves and connecting rods the engine redlines at 9,000rpm. The transmission will more than likely by a dual clutch paddle shifter, and the car should feature an array of gadgets to customize settings similar to the GTR. The prototype does o-60 in 3.7 seconds and has a top speed of just over 200. Very similar numbers to the Audi r8 v-10 and Lamborghini Gallardo lp560-4 and the upcoming Rarri 458. Sounds great and all but then you look at the price tag estimated price is 397,000k, for a Toyota. I hope Lexus does not bank on selling too many of these in America, Europe, pretty much any place other than Japan, even then there is stiff competition from the Godzilla. Great car if it sold for 65%less.
