LEXUS LF-A // WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!

So excited we have been with uber Porsche vs. tuner Nissan lap time battles, that we nearly forgot Toyota promised us a front engined supercar by years end. Well, tick tock, and no LF-A in sight... until today. Seen here at Toyota’s Motorsports Festival at Fuji Speedway, this was the first we had heard from our super Lexus since it raced at the Nurburgring 24 Hours (where it finished 7th in class and 121st overall). This time however, the LF-A not only made an appearance, but with Akio Toyoda, executive VP of Toyota behind the wheel. Still no word on specs, no price or performance figures, but if we had to guess, we’d say 500bhp, 500 built and a price tag right around a quarter million. What do you think? // 11.27.2008
