2005 Lexus LF-A Concept



Lexus concepts bring together a two-seat performance exotic automobile that blends the modern nature, sports unique and the luxury refinements of the lexus brand. This is the car that is to push lexus into the future where they describe is a luxury high-speed capsule. The size of the car bridges tha gap between several supercars, where its length is shorter than the porsche 911 turbo and wheelbase 9inches longer. its hiehgt is almost identical to the ferrari F430 and its width splitting the difference between the Aston Martin DB9 and the Mercedes Benz SL55.

Under the skirt is an engine capable of developing more than 500bhp producing a top speen in the neighbourhood of 200mph's - unfortunately the engine isn't listed but seeing as its based on F1 design, it would be closer to the time of technology being used on the circuit at the time of conception/production.
Note:-Please look at the final photo at the bottom and notice behind the rear wheels there are large fans, their intended use and implemented design I'm still yet to confirm. Will ensure further research.

LHD I see. Must have been designed in Toyota's California design studio.... Looks interesting, not beautiful though.

I think the main thing that I like most about this car is the rear, that is something fresh new and idealistically modern

The rear will take a little getting used to, but I never thought a Lexus could look this good, modern, sharp, but not badly proportioned. If it's LHD, maybe just as well they let the guys outside Japan design it. Else it would probably look like another over-styled Skyline. I like this car.

I thought it would grow on me, but no. It is getting worse. They need to keep working on this concept.
