The supercoupe from Toyota was presented at three different auto shows. Its’ first presentation was in fall 2005 in Tokyo and then they projected the future car will cost about $100,000. Now, when the production of Lexus LF-A Supercar started, the company says its price will be $225,000.
The car is made in the same style as Ferrari F430 Spider, though several characteristics of Lexus are higher. 2007 Ferrari was selling for $211,525, so, even the price of the Supercar overcomes the Italian Spider.
Lexus LF-A has a 5.0-liter V10 engine, which allows the car to produce 500 horsepower. The top speed the auto can gain is 200 mph. At first Supercar launches as a coupe, but later a roadster version will be available, the price of which will be even higher.
Recently Lexus development team finishes its work on the new LF-A concept. In the end of May, they plan to take it to Nürburgring 24-hour race in Germany for a test and advice from the German experts.
Toyota is not the only auto manufacturer which decided to create a luxury hybrid supercar. Lexus LF-A is going to have a competitor born in the Ferrari plants.
Seems like lately car makers don’t have many new creative ideas and in the process of making a new vehicle they use parts of other concepts used several years before.
Mercedes-Benz is becoming even more special with the new technology called Magic Body Control. Mercedes Vice President, Hans Multhaupt, says that it was started in the beginning of 1990’s at the World Sportscar Championship Group C, but the technology was outlawed because the car with it has “slaughtered the field” in 1990 and 1991.
General Motors is so confident in its new Chevrolet Cruze that it asks 3,000 Chevy dealers to purchase competitor’s vehicles for test-drive comparisons.
