Adzys straight6 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 toyota/lexus wanted the new supra(so to speak to be under the lexus badge, as it was to be theyre flagship car. Hence the LF-A hybrid, 510bhp. Its not in production however they have been using it as a race car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j80leo Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Yes it will be in production in a few years time as all the money put into the development of the car will be wasted if they scrap it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 LF-A if they ever get around to putting into production Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 toyota/lexus wanted the new supra(so to speak to be under the lexus badge, as it was to be theyre flagship car. Hence the LF-A hybrid, 510bhp. Its not in production however they have been using it as a race car. The LF-A isn't a hybrid. It runs a V10 to make 510bhp. I think it will be aimed at different markets It's going to cost around £100k if it ever surfaces, putting it in line with the Nissan GTR Spec-V. It's going to have to be something special.

Adzys straight6 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 The LF-A is a 2-door exotic concept car built as a prospective halo car for the Lexus division. It debuted at the 2005 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS). A revised version with more completely furnished interior was unveiled at the 2007 NAIAS as a possible future member of the Lexus F marque performance lineup. Toyota has given the LF-A concept car the green-light for production.[2] Prototypes of the LF-A had been spotted being tested at the Nürburgring, the famous motorsport race track in Nürburg, Germany. [3] The production vehicles are expected to carry V10 engines, [4][5] putting the car in market competition with the Lamborghini Gallardo, Ferrari F430, the Porsche 911 (997), and the Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR1. Pricing is estimated at $225,000.[6] In 2007, Lexus GB director Steve Settle confirmed that both a V10 and hybrid version of the LF-A would be produced.[7] The hybrid version, combining a petrol engine with electric motors, would likely feature a V8 powertrain similar to that designed for the Lexus LS 600h L. An uprate tuning package is also in development increasing output to 650bhp, costs for this are undecided.(8) [edit] Racing on the Nürburgring A Lexus LF-A prototype was entered on 10 May 2008 on the Nürburgring 4 hour VLN endurance race where it surprisingly won the SP8 class[8] with 6 entrants, as all others failed to finish. The best lap time of 9:06 on the 24,4 km version was about 40 secs slower than the best Porsche GT3-RSR, and about on par with Cup-GT3. This resulted in finishing 77th[9] overall among over 200 teams. The Lexus took also part in the 24 Hours Nürburgring [10] on 24/25 May 2008, with four Japanese drivers including Akira Iida leading the team. As car no. 14 [1], it qualified 27th[11] among 223 cars, and finished 7th in the SP8 class of 11 entrants, and 121st overall, with a best lap average speed of 163 km/h, compared to 175 of the fastest cars.

hoff Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 As previously said the LF-A, and the new NSX, have been shelved. Also the Toyota/Suburu collaberation looks to be going the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
