As we can discern from the latest spy photos, the Lexus LF-A is inching toward its final production form. But with a 5.0L V10 producing 500 horsepower, that’s probably the last inching the LF-A will ever do. However, that Italian-rivaling performance will set back buyers more than they are used to paying for a Japanese performance car.
Lexus ’ new supercar will sticker for more than $200,000, according to Edmunds. One Lexus official said the LF-A’s price “will begin with a two” while another indicated the car’s final price will likely be closer to $225,000.
The LF-A will be available in both coupe and convertible body styles, with the latter expected to add several thousands to the LF-A’s sticker price.
Although the LF-A promises a top speed of over 200 mph, the supercar will really have to overachieve to make its $200,000 price tag make sense. In comparison, a Ferrari F430 Spider can be had for about $211,000, and Chevy’s new 620-horsepower ZR1 is expected to cost around $100,000.
