The 2011 Lexus LFA

Lexus finally announced the official launch of the LFA, a two-seat supercar scheduled to go into production at the end of 2010 as the pinnacle of the Lexus “F” premium sports car series. Pre-sales start today. Ultra-responsive and extremely stable even when taken to the edge, the LFA creates a sense of reassurance that opens up a new world of driving emotion, exhilarating the senses to move the driver in more ways than one. The LFA combines high output, superb chassis design and meticulous aerodynamics to achieve instantaneous total-vehicle response characterized by high-rev, seamless acceleration echoed by a self-defining resonance from its 4.8-liter V10.

Only 500 units of the LFA are to be produced and sold worldwide.

A prototype of the LFA is now on display at the 41st Tokyo Motor Show, which is open to the general public from October 24 to November 4 at Makuhari Messe in Makuhari, Chiba Prefecture.

Lexus - LFA

In a time when many automotive companies are making hybrids and electronic cars, Lexus has finally unveiled its super car at the Tokyo Motor Show. The rear wheel drive LFA is powerful with its 4.8 litre V10 powerplant pushing 560ps (552bhp) at 354 lb-ft of torque that revs up to 9,000 rpm redline. Mated with six speed sequential gearbox and clocking 0-62mph in just 3.7 seconds at top speed of 202 mph. Aesthetically though, it could be divided with a mixture of straight edge and curves creating an aggressive look. One thing that will cause for a consideration is its price point at $375,000 and only 500 units will be produced.
