LF-A Sports Car Concept

The LF-A sports-car concept was originally shown at the 2005 NAIAS to express a bold new direction in styling for the Lexus brand. The goals for the new LF-A are no different than they were with the original concept: To build a supercar with world-class performance that is uniquely Lexus.

As with all new Lexus vehicles, the styling of the LF-A is rooted in a design direction called L-finesse. The concept of L-finesse was used to shape and detail the original LF-A, and it was used to reshape, redetail and redefine this latest version. Lexus has further refined the styling of the new LF-A to enhance its exotic nature with a greater use of curved surfaces and interesting details.

The running gear of the LF-A is just as it was with the original, powered by a high-revving 500-plus horsepower V10 engine. Its front mid-engine placement, along with a rear-mounted transaxle and rear-mounted radiators, allows for excellent weight distribution. The horsepower, superior aerodynamics, and revised styling make a top speed of 200 mph not only possible but probable.

An “F” logo, indicating the vehicle’s status as a part of the new “F” marque, is located on each front fender.

“The first LF-A was a pure concept, but one that we went so far as to conduct engineering analysis on,” said Carter. “This latest concept is much closer to a vehicle that we would bring to market, and one in which we will be gauging consumer interest.”

i *think* i read at a few places a $200K+ price tag, and i have a $250K AUD price in my head for some reason, i might have been doing conversions from suspected USD prices.

The 7.28 could have been ANYTHING, ie stripped out racer with 600hp. What are the specs of the Carrera GT to get the times it did??

I don't think Lexus will release a car in mass production that will be doing 7.28 Ring times and keeping it remotely close in $$ to the new GTR

From what I have recently read, Lexus/Toyota are struggling to get the 0-100km/h time under 4 secs. This is causing them delays however is extremely important to acheive when creating a supercar.

This really interested me given that it has supposedly done the ring in under 7.30, the handling, balance and braking must be phenominal.

Not a Supra? Supra is out of production. Toyota/Lexus build a new sports car. To me its a replacement...who cares what they end up calling it. Whatever Honda call the NSX replacement it will also be compared to the GTR.

The difference being, the New GTR, is the NEW GTR. It is not a Skyline however.

Similarly, the new Lexus, is not a Supra.

What you think of it is irrelevant, sorry to say, it doesn't change what it is or isn't.

Awesome car, but not a Supra.

Sweet Ride Id have to admit, sounds nice too.. But its all just speculation at this time. I honestly dont think this car is going to be faster than the GTR thats just my opinion. but I guess time will tell.

go the lexus supra. it would shit all over the new gtr.

if i had to choose between new gtr and the lexus supra...

welllll

as in my avatar.....nuff said.

viva le supra

Does anyone have the confirmed time for this thing round the ring? it sounds friggin awesome and looks the part too...i don't care or not if its faster than the new gtr...both are equally impressive...imagine if you had both and you wake up in the morning only to be faced with the choice of what to drive to work...the gtr or the lfa...now thats life!!

says the man with a porche avatar and name.........

hahaha dude modena is a city in italy its where the ferrari factory is, strangely enough the car in his sig is also a ferrari - and whats a porche? isnt that what u have out front of ur house with chairs and stuff on it :)

i would choose an lf-a over a new gt-r because its a v10 and sounds so much like an f1 car.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
