$400k for a Lexus? Meet the Lexus LFA Supercar

Wednesday October 28, 2009

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.
