Lexus has never built a supercar before, so it would almost be okay if people were to doubt the LF-A’s talents at first. Well because a car should never be judged before it’s driven, the LF-A was given the benefit of doubt, but that was before any journalist drove one. Then the testing began, one prominent journalist called it the “best car he had EVER driven”, and others were singing equally high praise.
The styling of the all new Lexus LF-A is designed with the company’s new design direction called L-finess. Lexus LF-A concept vehicle has taken the company into exotic sports car territory, with simple elegance of the new Lexus design. This super sports car has all the abilities to prove itself as a racing–inspired style concept car, its sculpted curves and fluid lines make a dynamic statement. The clean lines of the two-seat cockpit are minimalist and futuristic, so there’s no distraction from the impressive ride.
This supercar will be powered by a 4.8-litre V10 engine that will outputs 553HP at 8,700rpm and 354 lb-ft / 6800 rpm. It will be a rear wheel drive, with six speed automated sequential gearbox. Lexus FLA will go from 0 to 100km/h in only 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 325km/h
Lightweight, powerful and balanced, the Lexus features advanced Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) construction for its chassis and bodywork to deliver a light, incredibly strong and impact-resistant structure. Rather than out-source this sophisticated materials technology, in a radical move, the LFA team developed its own CFRP processes internally for ultimate quality control and to make a sound engineering investment in the future.
