The race enthusiasts of Japan had an uncommon opportunity to view the Lexus LF-A in action this weekend, when the extremely mysterious V10 sport coupe was displayed at Toyota’s Motorsports Festival at Fuji Speedway.



This was the black “development” LF-A mule that participated in the Nürburgring 24 Hours this summer. At the wheel of the car was Akio Toyoda, executive vice president of Toyota and one of the major causes behind the LF-A program. Before a crowd of about 30,000, Akio did two rounds in the LF-A, which made a enormous sound and was not short on speed.

Why should it upset you so much. They will do whatever they please regardless of your pathetic rants. When they build it, it will be a collector car immediately.

It's always the true dreamers that keep a dream alive (:

I really hope that I am one of those lucky 500...I've been asking around, from the Lexus fansites on Facebook (no help) to the Lexus Owners Club (no response). I won't make it to the LA Auto Show, and my dealer where I bought all my Lexus vehicles is a bit too far to squeeze in a little visit into my tight schedule );

Does anyone know how to get on to one of those waiting lists or something like that?! I really really do wish this car would come to life, even if it's going to be 2011 when it's finally taking orders...just make sure the car is nearly perfect in all perspectives, and I'll be the first in line when it comes out. I'll be waiting... :)

OH MAN...I can't believe someone actually responded. I really hope you guys aren't joking around!

I don't get what's up with the deboosting, but man...I was afraid that Lexus has already internally began taking orders.

I'll try to contact you guys when times are "good."
Look at the time this comment was posted, and you should understand (;

Judging from the size of this car it seems to be very close to NSX, which should help to keep the weight down. Maybe Toyota run into some tunning issue going for 7:30 laptime?

Can't wait to see the new NSX.
