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.
