Lexus LF-A Rumored to be Priced Over $200K
It may not be the most anticipated sports car of the decade, not in an M3 or Camaro type way. Yet the Lexus LF-A is one of the most important, possibly the most important in the history of Toyota. This because Lexus is the biggest luxury car maker in the biggest car market in the world, the US. And LF-A – both coupe and drop-top versions – would be its first real sports car, the type going after the old boys’ club of Lamborghini Gallardo, BMW M6, Chevy Corvette, Porsche 911 Turbo and Ferrari F430.
Probably for this reason is pricing rumored to be in the 200s. Yap, that’s USD200,000. Ben Mitchell, a corporate planning manager for Lexus was quoted by Inside Line as saying the car’s price “will begin with a two”. We take that not to mean USD20,000, although we wish it did. Someone else said over USD250,000 and this was a source in Japan. Should this prove true we are looking at a car chasing Ferraris and upper end Porsches, as well as Lambos in pricing. And if this is indeed the case, performance is then expected to match these names.
For LF-A, said to pack 500-plus horsepower in between its 5-liter V10 and over 200 mph, it means weight must not be an issue firstly. Secondly, handling needs to be top-notch, and as spy videos have shown, there is plenty work done in this regard already. Although quite high the speculated price, we are glad because it means the upcoming Toyota-branded sports firecracker will come in lower in price.

Originalmente Colocado por jaoquim Ver PostO design é demasiadamente colado ao estilo europeu, aliás británico, o que nem considero uma vantagem bem pelo contrário. Por exemplo, a Nissan conseguiu manter uma identidade inconfundível no Gtr ao contrário da Lexus.
Por acaso de británico não acho que tenha alguma coisa, imaginando por exemplo os Aston Martin, não vejo nada que se assemelhe...
Acho que até é bem Japonês...

Lexus LF-A de volta ao Ring
Lexus LF-A de volta ao Ring.
Lexus is entering two LF-A coupes into the Nurburgring 24 hours next month. Many had expected the V10 sports car to go the way of the Honda NSX, with a damaged market and increasing environmental pressures lessening the case for range-topping supercars.
An undeterred Lexus is putting rumours to bed, though, with two LF-A prototypes entering the day-long race of the Nordschleife as part of the car’s ongoing research and development for a road-going version. The 4.8-litre V10, producing around 500bhp, slots the car into class Division 2 SP8 – engine ‘close to production’. That sounds like good news to us. The unit is front-mid mounted and mated to a paddle-shift sequential manual gearbox.
The LF-A raced in the 2008 Nurburgring 24 hours, finishing seventh in class out of 11 entrants. This year’s race takes place May 23-24, and our man John Barker is taking part in a gas-powered Volkswagen Scirocco. Keep your eyes on evo.co.uk to follow his progress.
