Lexus Unveils 200mph Sports Car Design!

http://www.clublexus.com/index.php/a...view/3257/1/10

500 horsepower

This is not your father's Lexus! It has some Ferrari and Aston Martin influences I think.

I love the back and sides of the car. I would refine slightly the nose. Overall an excellent job. I love the side air intakes.

I would be happy my car does 100mph. Not that I would go that fast but if I wanted to.

With Aloha,
Ranney

The next 1-2 years will be big for Toyota. It'll be interesting to see if anything like the LF-A actually makes it to production.

BTW, have you seen the new Avalon? It will really test the ES...

j/k

Looks like the love child of a DB9 and an S2000. (I’m not saying that’s a bad thing mind you.)

Yeah, definitely looks S2000ish in the front. Is this the car that is supposed to be the long awaited return of the Supra?

I am almost sure this will go into production. I know some Lexus insiders including their audio team and two top sales people and they have been told by corporate that it is a done deal. Autospies has pics of them testing a pre-production version.

They will siphon off some super car sales I think. It will be a good start for introducing a new performance emphasis at Lexus...

I've been told that HQ scrapped a planned M like performance upgrade in favor of the LFA development into a real offering.
