The LF-A supercar concept was first shown two years ago at NAIAS to show a new styling direction for Lexus referred to as L-finesse. The styling of the new version has been refined with the use of more curved surfaces and additional detailing.

The LF-A is still powered by a 500-plus horsepower V10 engine with a front mid-engine placement and a rear transaxle for balance. According to Lexus, the superior aerodynamics, revised styling and horsepower make a top speed of 200 mph possible.

“The first LF-A was a pure concept, but one that we went so far as to conduct engineering analysis on,” said Lexus Group Vice President and General Manager Bob Carter. “This latest concept is much closer to a vehicle that we could bring to market, and one in which we will be gauging consumer interest.”
