If this is true, this car is going to be an absolute monster... Its basically the MK5 with a Lexas tag and 4 more cylinders....

10 cylinders and 4.8 liters at 9000 rpm is a symphony to my ears.

yeah... it kinda looks like a vette mixed with an austin martin

All biasness' aside, I find it hideous. I don't see a hint of Aston or Vette in there. Maybe Ferrari on crack with Aston Martin tail lamps and a little 350Z thrown in? What's with that goofy fin on the quarter panel?

Long and swoopy like that

I like it.

DETROIT — Lexus is still trying to figure out how to make supercars. So if Ferrari can cut the top off a coupe and turn it into a Spyder, why shouldn't Toyota's premium brand apply the same treatment to its performance flagship?

If you sort of recognize the new LF-A roadster, perhaps it's because the topless two-seater is an evolution of last year's LF-A coupe, complete with the same V10 of "under 5.0 liters" that makes "more than 500 horsepower" and has a top speed "greater than 200 mph."

Lexus may be deliberately vague about the performance stats, but the in-your-face styling of the car should dispel any doubts as to the brand's intent.

The roadster, like the coupe, is constructed of aluminum and carbon fiber to keep the weight down while providing a rigid structure. A speed-sensitive adjustable wing keeps the rear end planted at higher speeds. The front-mounted engine drives the rear wheels through a torque tube that functions as a central structural member. Power is fed to the rear transaxle through a sequential manual gearbox.

Twin radiators are also mounted in the rear and cooled via massive air intakes above the rear wheelwells, with hot air vented through a pair of grilles in the rear end.

The LF-A rides on 20-inch wheels and high-performance tires — 265/35R20 in front and 305/30R20 in the rear — with cross-drilled, vented disc brakes all around.

Lexus notes that the roadster bears the brand's new performance-oriented F logo, denoting the car's status as a sister model to the new IS-F sport sedan.

What this means to you: At 200-plus mph, occupants are going to be picking some serious bugs out of their teeth. — Paul Lienert, Correspondent

Now arrive the LF-A roadster...

Still don't like it..

The interior is the hotness...

But I don't like the body style... It's just something about it IMO... :-\

the front nose is not sitting entirely well with me, I love the rear and the interior,just something about the nose, it needs slightly redesigned.... Dont think that will happen though since they are already making complete models for testing..

lexus knows whats up
