LF-A without clothes on Options

[playr158]

Caught testing out at the N-Ring in Germany, this nearly completed LF-A is showing a very close to production ready piece. With no disguises minus the headlights.


Spotting white, rather undisguised Lexus supercars doesn't happen every day and on this occasion the spy photographers certainly copped an eyeful.

Caught testing in Germany at the Nurburgring, the relatively undisguised Lexus LF-A wore German plates and had only the lights covered from prying eyes. These shots show that the car is very nearly finished with front and rear bumpers, diffuser and clearly active spoiler all out in the open.

Rumoured to contain a 4.8 litre V10 engine, the LF-A should be on show in Tokyo next month and may be available as early as next year if final testing all goes to plan.

The LF-A has excellent proportions and a muscular design retaining the tri-exhaust seen in the concept version. We are not so sure on the rear air intake 'horns' or ducts protruding from the flanks.

Nevertheless, horns or not, the long awaited production version will be a bold new move for the Japanese firm.

I hate that kink right behind the passenger compartment.
