Sweet.

Typical Toyota styling. Steal from everyone. Absolutely unoriginal if you ask me. GTR in the front, 360 Modena intakes on the sides and is that a Veyron wing?!! Toyota makes great cars, too bad most are too ugly to consider.

That first picture is Totaly like Toyota FT-HS

Given the car does have some references to other car manufactures, and so what, a lot of designers take cues from existing cars. As for the from of the GTR, looks nothing like the GTR. and the same goes for the 360. I think you need to get stronger lenses for your glasses and if you don’t own a pair, get you eyes checked.

Either way I’ll have my in gun metal grey.

dmanero is right on, – this is nothing like the clumsy Dodge Demon. And I’ll have my LF-A in red, please.

sick!

pretty sweet. I’m actually impressed.

It reminds me of a lamborghini which is never a bad thing. I don’t really like the headlights, everything else is ok.

mbgg099, well both are sports cars, as is GTR, so i think many sports cars will have a front that looks similar. There cars need to have a low, smooth front, so if you’ll look carefully you may see other cars it it too. But i personally see that FT-HS.

Another winner from Lexus

I can’t decide on this. It’s either the cleanest sports car design to come out of Japan since the NSX, or it’s like they threw darts at pictures of every other supercar on the planet and picked some aspect to impose on this. Oh well, even if they do build it, like every other Lexus you know it will be overpriced.

See i love clean cars, that’s why i love this car, i really like Ford Fusion and i hate Camry. What the world needs is simple lines, or smooth curves. We need simplicity.

Three things.

1) I want specs and equipment list of this car. There is a claim of 7min24sec at Nurburgring http://www.supercars.net/PitLane?viewThread=y&gID=3&fID=0&tID=10073 and I want to know what this car has to pull that off.

2) What does the engine look like. I’m curious.

3) Does this thing have a trunk? Again I’m curious.

Wow, I must say that is the best looking concept to come out of Toyota or Lexus in a long time, perhaps ever.

Sure, I can see a bit of Lambo, Veyron, Ferrari and even a tiny bit of the MKIV Supra in it. But really, thats not a bad thing IMO.

Now, give it the performance to back up it’s look, and it’s a winner, no matter what the die hard anti-Toyota fanatics say.

So how much space will I have to stick my hand between the real exhaust pipes and the fake outlets on the production version of THIS one?

^^^ You, my sir, are a dumbass.

This automobile translated beautifully into a convertible (many do not). Guaranteed first-run sell out with the well-heeled crowd, and front liner at the upper-end dining, and hotel establishments. Hats off to Toyota for coming so far over the decades.

i don’t like it, then again i don’t like any Toyota. besides how long have they been pushing this car around like it was being sold, and not even let a group of reporters see it.

I do have to agree that the Japanese makers have been promoting their high dollar sports cars a bit hard lately. Some might say excessively.

Personally, I’m more put off by the lack of useful information than the endless “work-in-progress” photos and bit articles.

They’re doing exactly what US brands are doing. Recently, Japan has lacked sport car credibility, so they promote their sports cars and concepts. GM/Ford/Chrysler all lack green credibility, so they promote hybrids and fuel cells or concepts. The main difference, mainly with GM, is that they have started to try to convince the American public that they are selling the technology right now (ie Volt, fuel cell Equinox).

DUMB

Kaizen,

Perhaps, but it feels more like hype than real product. Unbelievable times being posted, insane theoreticals, usually tacky styling (yes I’ll still rag about the GT-R’s ugly ass body until the day they fix it.) being tweaked ever so slightly, and so on. Right now the LF-A is the best looking of the the new lot.

The crazy components layout, no doubt a formula inspired suspension, not unlike the SLR, a detuned racing engine, and the most wicked fighter/racing vehicle body I have yet seen outside the Vector W8 are all major pluses. Seeing it run I think I can root for this car. Makes me think if GM is rushing back to the drawing board over the C7 right now.

The LF-A, however, leaves me cold on one major point: Price.

What about a new Supra? TOYOTA was floating rumors and even very credible drawings and renders and I think a few pictures of the assumed prototype not a whole year ago. What ever happened to that. I really don’t care about some $150K+ car when one) I wouldn’t dare drive it on the same roads as the lunatics and morons around here and two) I couldn’t sanely afford to spend that much on one car.

I want my Supra!!

Otherwise, Kudos TOYOTA. A car That can beat ‘em and does it without “cheating”… as far as I can tell.

Don’t worry. Your Supra is coming.

Toyota’s been saying the Supra is coming back for ages. I wouldn’t hold your breath.

Toyota’s never said it is coming back in the past. The FT-HS has been the first indication in almost a decade.

Actually, CA36GTP, Toyota has been doing anything but saying a new Supra is coming, in fact last time I heard something about a new Supra from Toyota, they were denying a revival of the Supra.

That’s one damn good looking automobile.

Watch, it’s gonna replace the SC as the new convertible.

If Lexus really wanted to i could picture this competing with the Gallardo and F430 Convertibles. No I would never take this over either of the two, but i think its sexy and i do see a hint of Carrera GT in the 11th, 28th and last pic. I love it

A Lexus supercar, can it get any better? Benchmark quality/reliability and supercar performance, a rare combination. Its good to see Lexus take on the big boys from Europe Although I would still take an AMG benze over this. This car will definately set a new standard in this segment.

Tail lights are unique, i really like them. Front is good too. But I don’t know if I can get used to the exhausts.

09CTS-V: At what’s probably 1/5th of the price of the F430 convertible, you might actually take one…

Instrumentation a bit “japanese” – too much high tech for expensive car. I think it will sell and sell well for given segment,

The new Mitsu sports car copies the R8 front end, and this copies the back. Awesome

Looks impressive. I’m sure this car will also be the new supra but I wonder which will be the faster one, the Lexus or the Toyota? The Supra inline 6 engines were incredibly strong and resistant to high boost. I can only imagine how much greater this new V10 will be.

IF the rebuld the legendary Supra, the platform will be shared, but this will not be knocked-off by Toyota.
We can dream though
DrFill

Something about the front end doesn’t sit right with me… I love the white interior and the mean rear though.

Veda i think itll be alot then a 5th of the price for the F430 spider, but ur right its so damn sexy and evil lookin.

Japs are kick ass Euros and States (again). And many whites are frustated and upset for it. Typically caucasians… LOL. Just a joke from a black-wannabe white guy.

Am I too croat… LOL

“the LF-A Roadster features no shortage of ‘F’ performance badging.”

so this car is F’ed up?
