Here's an article of an extreme version of the Lexus LF-A. It suppose to be Lexus' version of the Mercedes' SLS AMG black series. It says it won't come out until all 500 units are sold. Sounds very interesting! http://www.4wheelsnews.com/more-extr...-in-the-works/

Amazing people who aren't Toyota fans (read Supra) really don't understand the allure of THIS car. This car is no ordinary car and also, Toyota/Lexus always understate their car's REAL potential. If you don't like it, then don't. But there are people who know more about the car then Toyota/Lexus is letting on. It is actually faster in every category than what they are claiming. The car should do 0-60 mph in 3.1 sec, and top out around 223 mph.

TheStallion234: It's going to be a beast no doubt, but 3.1 to 60 and 223? I dunno about that one. You have to consider what cars that are lighter and more powerful have done and they haven't even hit those marks. Unless Lexus is underestimating the power output of the engine by 200bhp, I can't see 3.1 second 0-60 times.
Hopefully it can hit those times and top speeds to justify its ridiculous price tag of $500,000.

suprastar2: I have heard this is only the base model and there is a 5.5 litre V-10 model in the works but again if the costs are huge with the base model only know's if they bring
