New cars like the Devon GTX and Plethore LC-750 got a lot of press at SEMA 2009, but everybody's favorite exotics were on hand with new wheels, paint, and more. Check out the new pics of the Ferrari California, Ferrari F430 Scuderia, Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, and Rolls-Royce Phantom in the image galleries.

SEMA 2009 is humming along, and I've got pictures to prove it. Check out the super spendy supercar from Japan, the Lexus LFA. Images are up right now; details will come as soon as I've had some lunch.

What do you think of Lexus's entree into the exotic car market? Let us know in the comments.

Luxury car maker Lexus has officially entered the exotic car realm with the Lexus LFA, a V10 supercar with a carbon-fiber reinforced polymer body. Production begins in December 2010, with finished cars limited to 500.

The engine is a 4.8-liter V10 with 552 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque, pushing the LFA to a top speed of 202 mph. All those Lexus hybrids are going to have to sell like hotcakes to make up for this kind of power, which just screams, "Come and get me, greenie!" It's really hard to hug trees at 200 mph.

There's a special web site set up for the Lexus LFA, should you want to configure one on your coffee break today.

The 2009 Tokyo Motor Show saw the debut of the Lotus Exige Scura, a special edition kitted out in matte black and carbon fiber. When you're used to seeing candy-colored Lotuses on the streets, the Scura ("dark" in Italian) is like an evil twin. Even the Lotus press release says the car allows you to "indulge your dark side."

The car is limited to a run of 35, which will be sold globally. There are three high-gloss "Phantom Black" stripes that run the length of the car, with carbon fiber bits like the air scoops and rear spoiler adding to the black-on-black theme. The interior gets in on the game with carbon fiber seats and console, and black anodized hand brake and gear shift knob.

The Scura has the 260-hp engine, with a 0-62 time of 4.1 seconds. The dark side is fast.

The holidays must be approaching, because the exotic and luxury car makers are bringing out their wish-list-ready home furnishings and fashions. Lamborghini leads the pack this year with fashions for home and body.

The marketing team in Sant'Agata would like to entice you with its Valentino Balboni-inspired candles and Christmas tree balls. Both come in Blue Caelum and White Monocerus, colors exclusive to the special-edition Gallardo that bears the Lamborghini test driver's name. There are also sweatshirts and faux-fur hooded jackets to keep you toasty, and Reventon-inspired polo shirts to "ease the disappointment of not finding the real car under the Christmas tree," according to the press release. Yeah, a polo shirt would make me feel better about that.

The all-electric Audi eTron that made a splash at the Frankfurt Motor Show last month will indeed make it to the streets -- though it'll be a little smaller than the eTron concept or the Audi R8 it was based on, and carry the name Audi R4.

The R4 will be available with a gasoline engine (likely from the TT) or a set of four electric motors for emissions-free motoring. According to Edmunds' Straightline blog, the R4 will come in coupe or convertible. It should be on sale by late 2012.

The EPA released its lists of best and worst fuel economy, and guess what? The Lamborghini Murcielago sucks the most gas of any car out there -- more, even, than the 1001-hp Bugatti Veyron. It's in good company, though. The "Top 10" list actually has about 30 cars on it, mostly exotics, since so many tied for low mileage.

I'm willing to bet fuel economy is not a consideration for anyone with the cash and prestige to buy one of 20 Lamborghini Reventons. Should fuel economy be a consideration for supercars? Vent in the comments after reading the list, with city and highway miles per gallon.

Well, kids, if you weren't one of the lucky 50 who bought their 2010 Jaguar XJL Supercharged Neiman Marcus Edition in the first four hours it was available, it's going to be one sad Christmas at your house this year.

All 50 examples of the limited edition sedan were snapped up in the first four hours and four minutes of the sale, at the bargain price of $105,000. Phone lines opened at noon Eastern time, and the deals were done before happy hour. Don't worry, though. The new XJ will be at your local Jag dealer in 2010 -- but not wearing the exclusive Celestial Black paint.

If you were waiting for the biofuel, E85-capable Bentley Continental Supersports to arrive in the U.S. before making your supercar buying decision, you're going to have to wait a little longer. The car is still coming -- fear not. It'll just be limited to gasoline in the tank. Bentley blames red tape and engineering challenges, according to the Green Car Advisor blog. The first 200 Supersports to reach our shores will not be able to run on E85, but after that, the cars will be good to green.

Keep in mind, with 621 hp in a W12 engine, the Bentley Continental Supersports is not going to give the Toyota Prius a run for its money in the mpg department. But with a top speed of 204 mph and a price tag near $300,000, the Supersports isn't exactly competing in the same segment as the hybrid gas-sipper.

Ferrari has been officially selling its cars in China for five years now, and in celebration, they're auctioning off limited-edition Ferrari 599GTB Fioranos, including one painted to look like cracked porcelain.

The paint was hand-applied by artist Lu Hao to mimic the deliberately cracked pattern of ancient Chinese pottery from the Song Dynasty known as Ge Kiln. The car will cross the block November 3 in Beijing, with proceeds to benefit "an educational sponsorship program targeted at Chinese students."

Besides the crackled paint, the one-off 599 has a jade stop/start button designed by an Italian jeweler. The words "Start" and "Stop" are written in Xiao Schuan script, as are the number one through ten on the speedometer. A small plaque with the word "China" in the same script is fixed behind the rear window. It also comes with bespoke Italian luggage to symbolize the Silk Road, which connected Italy to China.
