Lexus LF-A concept

What the automaker says: "The Lexus LF-A is like no sports car we have ever built--or even imagined," said Jim Press, Toyota Motor Sales executive vice president and COO. "Currently only a concept, it is a realistic vision of how we might address the boundaries that define the exotic sports car landscape." The Lexus LF-A concept features an engine capable of developing more than 500 horsepower from a displacement of less than five liters. With a combination of optimum gearing, weight and aerodynamics, the LF-A concept would produce a top speed in the neighborhood of 200 miles per hour.
The AutoWeek Take: Want to know where Lexus styling is headed? The answer is the LF-A. Toyota Motor Sales executive vp Jim Press says the LF-A concept is like nothing Lexus has ever built-or even imagined. He calls the LF-A "a realistic vision of how we might address the boundaries that define the exotic sports car landscape." If built, the car's 500-hp powertrain will reflect whatever is being used in F1 competition at that time. The enthusiast's world can always use more sports cars: Here's hoping Lexus builds it.

If there was one sports car that I wish was in my imaginary 3 story mansion, that is it. I stared at that for a great amount of time after pictures showed up on the official website.

simply an amazing car.

I don't mind the side and front views, but that rear is just plain ugly!!

I doubt it goes into production. However, I could see the styling used for the supra.
