Report: Lexus LF-A greenlighted for production

03/02/2006, 10:42 AM

As suspected by many Lexus fans, the LF-A concept car will “definitely” see production, according to Road and Track magazine. However, the report says the production car will look “significantly” different from the LF-A. Show right is an artist’s rendering from the magazine of how the car will possibly look, based on feedback from insiders. For a larger version at the image, you’ll have to pick up the magazine. See also: a detailed look at the Lexus LF-A concept and spy shots of a production prototype in testing. Recent rumors have suggested the Lexus supercar may be the successor to the Toyota Supra. The LF-A is expected to go head-to-head with the 2007 Infiniti GT-R.

It will be the SC430 harddtop edition.

Toyota will never again build a car that is as exciting as the supra. It’s just not in their DNA, and certainly not in their best financial interests. They build boring soulless people movers and they do it very well.

Well now they can afford to actually build a supercar and/or sports car. They’re on track to surpass GM for world’s biggest automaker very soon, and i’m thinking they could splurge a little cash on a pet project, seeing as how they basically beat everyone except Honda to the hybrid punch.

Funny, first thing I thought was Supra. I miss them. Real Japanese sports cars. Never liked the new Z and the RX-8 is just…off. Hard to explain.

It’s a shame that cars like the Celica/Supra haven’t gotten the attention they deserve from Toyota. They are all about the sedan and SUV now, but I guess you can’t fault them for following the money trail.

Mindless people? LOL Good one. Unless this car psuhing north of 650-HP for that dollar range, it won’t make a decent profit.

this car have to start production soon, because i wanna see this on the streets or at car shows. finally Toyota/Lexus has something to compete with ferrari. well it lookz like an exotic car like a ferrari but does it have the power like a ferrari and can it keep up. But kant wait until the day they put the 2007 Toyota Supra on sale, Because i thoght this car was obsolete. Y is Toyota behind on the supra? does it take 9 years for them to design and build this thing. If its taking this long this better be a surprise, so Toyota come on you gotta hustle.
