Finally there are pictures and a video of the new Lexus LF-A out on the net. Take a look:
Specs (don’t know if they are verified or not):
- 4.8-liter 72-degree V10 putting out 560 hp at 8,700 RPM (that’s 116.5 hp/liter) and 354 lb.-ft. of torque at 6,800 RPM
- Redline: 9,000 RPM
- Titanium valves, connecting rods, forged aluminum pistons, dry sump lubrication and a titanium exhaust manifold
- Six-speed sequential gearbox
- Torsen limited slip differential
- 3,263 pounds with a 48/52 front-to-rear weight distribution
- Power-to-weight ratio of 5.8 pounds/hp
- 65 percent of the body is carbon fiber
- 20-inch BBS wheels wrapped in 265/35 ZR20 Bridgestone tires in front and 305/30 ZR20 in the rear.
- 0-62 MPH (100 km/h) in 3.7 seconds
- Top speed of 201.94 MPH
- Production limited to 500 units
Supposedly, the car is going to be very limited production and may command a $400,000 price tag. We’ll see about that when there’s official word. I think it looks pretty damn good, how about you?
More pictures at Jalopnik.

V10……MMMMMM!
wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Celica Front + Audi R8 Rear and a hint of Zonda… Nice sound…terrible body design.
It took Toyota 4 years to make a Ferrari 599? This will go nicely with their winning streak in Formula One.
looks pretty good so far but I liked the headlights in the prototype version better.
i think this car looks better than the concept car they had awhile back. nice job toyota/lexus.
Am I the only one who thinks its ugly? The body lines are horrible.
Yes, it’s ugly… but I like how it sounds. Must be fun to drive too.
Okayyyyy…Looks like the designers didn’t know which way to go with this one.
