The New Lexus LFA V10 and Why It’s Better Than the Others
First introduced in the U.S. in 1989, Toyota Motors’ luxury vehicle division Lexus has become one of the highest-selling makers of luxury cars in the world. One of its concept cars, the Lexus LFA, is a two-seater sports coupe, a “halo” vehicle and a racing prototype. It premiered in 2005 as LF-A (dash included), coming out again in 2007 with a more furnished exterior and interior. Its third version premiered in 2008 and its production model, now the LFA (dash not included), was shown in October 2009 at the Tokyo Motor Show. The new 2011 Lexus LFA features a brand-new V10 engine. Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) makes up 65% of the vehicle’s body mass. Its production has been scheduled to begin in late 2010 and the projected spate of 500 vehicles is estimated to sell for $350,000 to $375,000.
