2011 Lexus LFA

The idea of an exciting car coming out of the halls of the Toyota/Lexus complex is, for the most part, only a dim memory. The IS-F is a fun and entertaining car, but not truly high-performance--for more on why, read my review. But the new 2011 LF-A, with its 552-horsepower V-10 engine, 5.8-pounds-per-horsepower power-to-weight ratio and 48:52 front-to-rear weight balance hits all the right numbers.

It hits a lot of the right notes, too, as you'll hear in these videos, particularly the first, which features a fair bit of hard revving before the car's unveiling as it happened just a short while ago in Tokyo.

The second video shows off what appears to be an as-yet unreleased official promo for the car, likely one of the first made-for-TV advertisements that will preview the LF-A as it coasts through 2010 on pre-orders.

Assembly of the new LF-A supercar will start next December, with delivery taking place over the ensuing 24 months. Only 500 of the $375,000 cars will be built. The LF-A will make its U.S. debut next month at the 2009 SEMA tradeshow in Las Vegas, and then again at December's Los Angeles Auto Show, which is open to the public.

    Why is the engine in the front? I prefer my super cars as mid-engine. Seems like a lot of money for a Lexus. I dont get this car at all.

    Lexus LF-A is looks like a dream car with its great outlook. I hope it will become a big deal in the US market.

    Cool, but it looks European based. Im not saying it is 100% European. Its around 10% European. The general shape of the body.

    The cars engine layout is front-mid engine. Looks wise I'd say its pretty good but it still doesn't have that crazy width most exotic supercars have.

    In a recent interview, Lexus' Australian chief executive confirmed that the LF-A is still being readied for production, although it may not reach showrooms until 2011.I am wondering now what does it mean.

    nice looking car but does anyone see the problem with it ? its too expensive and slow!
    the GTR is only 4 secs off its pace round the nurburgring but with 1/7 its price! the Corvette ZR1 it has more horse power and its as quick as this round the ring! maybe 1/6 the price??
