Lexus's LF-A super car concept that was first displayed back in 2005 has just been cleared by Toyota for production. This super car is the very first entry by either Lexus or Toyota into the exotic car market. Toyota, with its extensive background in Formula 1 has utilized its racing technology to develop the engine. Unconfirmed reports say that the LF-A will utilize the 4.9 liter V10 engine that was displayed at the Tokyo motor show in 2008. This power plant is said to be good for well over 500 naturally aspirated high revving horsepower. Lexus claims that the LF-A will be capable of surpassing the 200 mph mark as well. Pricing is expected to be in the $150-200,000 range, and Lexus will only release a limited number of LF-A's in the US market. Expect the LF-A to hit showrooms in mid to late 2010.
