LF-A Concept Delayed
November 13th, 2007
The Tokyo Auto Show was a bit of a disappointment for some people who were excited to catch a glimpse of the Lexus LF-A concept. Fans were hoping to see a new and improved version of the LF-A – but were disappointed to see the one they’ve been staring at all year long.
Apparently Lexus is having a bit of trouble with some of their ‘key engineers’ who have been taken off this particular project and put onto other projects. Providing a V10 and a gas electric hybrid V8 are causing major delays in development.
Lexus LF-A Concept

A sports-car concept possibly apprehension a supercar from Toyota’s premium brand, the LF-A aims to, Lexus says, “explore the outer limits of sports car performance.” It would in theory be developed with the company’s Formula 1 racing efforts to take advantage of competition-grade power- and drivetrains. With an engine capable of pumping out more than 500 horsepower, Lexus estimates a top speed of more than 200 mph.
