Way back in 2007, the first sighting of the upcoming Lexus LF-A supercar occurred. Finally, Lexus has officially revealed the production version of this beast, complete with full specs. This is a full-fledge, no-nonsense supercar, with the specs and price tag to prove it. Coming in at a whopping $375,000, the 2011 Lexus LF-A will find homes in just 500 garages. Toyota is keeping production exceedingly tight on this vehicle – probably not a bad decision, since this is their first attempt at a supercar.
2011 Lexus LF-A Specs
- 552 HP 4.8 liter V10
- 354 lb-ft of torque
- Rear wheel drive
- Six speed sequential transmission
- 0-62 in 3.7 seconds
- 202 MPH top speed
- Curb weight: 3263 lbs
There’s not much else to say – the LF-A has the potential to be a fantastic machine. The only real question is – how does it drive? If it drives like a Lexus, then Toyota failed miserably. However, if it drives like a Ferrari but with Lexus reliability, then this is a huge win, even though Toyota is expected to lose money on each sale.

Well, I see what I’ll be expecting for Christmas this year….
No problem – what color do you want?
hmmm.. red or black?…can’t decide — better play it safe and go with one of each.
That’s still under a cool mil – I don’t see why not. I’ll put in the order, you should have ‘em by the 25th.
