Lexus LF-A concept may hit our roads
Jul 6th, 2007 by Motor Dude
Concept cars are really the things that wet dreams are made of. Sleek, cool looking, up-spec'd dream machines. A majority of concepts never make it to production, but occasionally some do. The Lexus LF-A appears to be one that might just get there.

The LF-A was first seen at the 2005 North American International Auto Show, with a revised version again making an appearance in 2007. It clearly falls within the 'exotic' category as you can tell from the images here.
In 2007, Lexus GB director Steve Settle confirmed that both a V10 and hybrid version of the LF-A would be produced. The LF-A is rumoured to include a 5 litre engine said to turn out over 370 kW. Top speed is said to be around the 320km/h mark.
Prototypes of the LF-A have been spotted being tested at the Nürburgring, in Nürburg, Germany. It is suggested that the production version will include a V10 engine, which would place the LF-A in direct competition with the Lamborghini Gallardo and the Porsche 911 (997). The price tag is far from confirmed but is expected to be around the $100K USD mark.
It will be interesting to see how long it takes for us to see the LF-A on the road, but from all appearances it definitely looks like a car worthy of our time.
