JAPAN x TOYOTA x LEXUS = “LFA V-10 SUPERCAR”

Lexus has recently unveiled their first supercar, the LFA V-10. Scheduled for a 2011 release, it features a naturally aspirated V10 displacing 4,805cc. Due to a triple-alloy (aluminium, titanium and magnesium), the engine is actually lighter than a V8. A roaring 560hp and a top speed of 325km/h (0-100km/h in 3,7 seconds) makes the Lexus a surprisingly competitive effort from Toyota.

The engine is not the only thing that’s surprisingly lightweight. The whole affair weighs in at only 1,480 kilos, thanks to the use of a cabin made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic. The interior is entirely customizable. Suggested minimum prices are €250,720 with the domestic Japanese market having to shell out almost €272,000.
