Toyota's New Supercar?
It looks like the Lexus LF-A may be the supercar we've been waiting for Toyota to finally release after all these years and is set to be revealed at this year's Tokyo Motor Show in October. Word on the street is that the car was delayed because the engineers wanted to up the car's top speed, which initially was in the realm of 199mph; the latest version is expected to hit well over 200mph. If it looks anything like this Nurburgring test car, we can rest assured that the 550hp 4.8L V10 engine and a possible $200K sticker may be worth wait. Question: What do you think of the LF-A?
