Poised on a pedestal and behind it’s own security guard sat Lexus’ super coupe. Powered by a 552 horsepower V10 the LFA leaps to 60 in 3.6 seconds and keeps going to 202 mph. The mostly carbon fiber car was off limits, we’d imagine that Lexus isn’t ready to let the $350,000 rocket into the hands of just “any” automotive journalist just yet.
Supercars are rarely have a short development cycle, and the LFA is no exception. The design has been refined by a small team over the past decade. Which means they were developing this car before some way back when you were preparing for Y2K.
The 4.8 liter V10 revs all the way up to 9,000 rpm which means this screamer develops 115bhp per liter. Should you have the means, you can contact Lexus to inquire about picking up one of the only 500 copies that will be made. That is of course, you wouldn’t rather have a Corvette ZR1, Ferrari F430 and a Nissan GT-R.
