That's a pretty car
#22 of 57 Good Video.... by merc1 May 11, 2005 (1:18 am)
Very interesting video. I'm trying to tell what type of engine it has. At one moment it sounds like the classic Ferrari small displacement V8 then at another it kinda sounds like a V10 of say 4.5-5L. Either way its going to be fast. When I saw the concept at Detroit this year I said that the design has potential, something rare in a Lexus to my eye. The only problem is that droopy front end, that has to be redesigned asap. Looks horrible. People were talking about a new Supra. Forget that. Too much exotic ($$$) in the sound of this car to be sold as a Toyota. M

Toyota couldn't justify selling the car as a Toyota.... afterall, Toyota's are boring!

#25 of 57 I like this kinda party! by callmedrfill Jun 14, 2005 (5:24 pm)
Jes, I might have flown into hyperbole, but with cause. I was considering the Supra's pricepoint into the equation. And, as many have learned one way or another, the chassis and stock internals maybe the most rigid and capable ever! For $38k, then or now, finding a car that could do what it could, and look so good doing it, is a quandry for all time. The current Vette (C6) would have it's hands full, 12 years later, on any road course! I love the current Evo's ability, but the overall styling, inside and out, obviously are no match for a Supra. But it has 4 doors, better warranty, and is $10k cheaper. So for anyone wanting Supra-performance, I have a thought...... DrFill

Replying to: kirstie_h (May 10, 2005 4:56 am) I really really doubt that that's an LF-A concept. If u look near the end of the video where the "LF-A' concept is entering onto the main road there just happens to be a MKIV Supra directly in front of it :O! .....ironic

The Lexus LF-A concept completed the Lexus trio at the Tokyo show. The luxury marque’s first supercar concept, the LF-A is based on a 40-valve V10 producing close to 370kW (500 hp). LF-A is based on the corporation’s developing Formula One technology. The sleek two-seater concept blends the performance of an exotic sports car with the luxury refinements of a Lexus. At 1220mm, LF-A is almost identical in height to the Ferrari F430. “The LF-A concept expresses how we would design a premium sports car to compete with the best on offer,” Scott Grant said. “We are hopeful it will be built as a production model, and that we would be able to make it available in Australia.” Lexus LF-A ultra-high-performance sports car concept specifications: Wheelbase: 2580mm Total length: 4400mm Total width: 1860mm Total height: 1220mm Front tyre size: 245/40R19 Rear tyre size: 285/35R19 Source: link title Replies to this message: getreal (Nov 12, 2005 3:02 pm) mikegiller (Dec 11, 2005 3:22 pm)
