Spy Shots: New Lexus LF-A caught racing the Ring
We’ve been reporting on the Lexus LF-A since 2005, and since that time we’ve shown you the debut of two separate LF-A concepts, an LF-A Roadster and a race version of the LF-A that competed in the 24 Hours of Nürburgring. What we’ve yet to show you amongst these concepts, race cars and the many spy shots in between is an actual production version of Lexus’ supercar. After hearing nothing about the LF-A for some time, we’ve been informed that a new prototype is currently testing on the Nürburgring in Germany. Though wearing camouflage, the new LF-A can definitely be seen sporting a new front- and rear-end, as well as additional sculpting to its side air intakes found ahead of the rear wheel and between the B- and C-pillars. If there’s one thing we know about the LF-A with any certainty, it’s that we know very little. The production version is rumored to produce over 500 horsepower from what will likely be a V10 engine, and the car itself should be capable of over 200 mph. A $200,000 price tag has been thrown around as well, though you have to question the strategy of a mainstream automaker like Toyota selling such a supercar when the entire world is caught in an economic sleeper hold.
