looks like matte black will be a factory color.

the front end does look like a jackolantern though.






why is there a key AND a push button start on the wheel?

Love the sound it makes from that V10, that interior looks nice, I prefer the front looks of LF A roadster more

Every thread, something looks like something

I saw it, I felt it just had an angry, aggressive face. I don't see anything else in it.

No one knows yet, it will be officially unveiled in a few hours.

Remote Touch, as expected! My guess is this is the racing-spec LFA; I do like the LF-A Roadster front better though. Anyhow, the interior is very technical and interesting, and that steering wheel makes me think it is the racing-spec model (reports are that a 'regular' and track-ready version will be sold).

hot damn i love it!

though, I'd love it more if it was the 08 LFA II version. The nose and that titanium silver color was just perfect, it should be unveiled just like that.

The exterior well we've already seen. The interior is great though, only complaint is I don't like the steering wheel.


One thing must be said though.... That is a LOT of Carbon Fiber going around.

Maybe it's like the Veyron where you can stick a high speed key in where it unlocks all the potential?


... I have no idea.

The gap has been on the LF-A concepts, so it's by design...

...and the name is definitely LFA now. On the back, sometimes I wonder if they could've added Lexus to the opposite side, but then again the Circle-L emblems are all over (unlike Corvette with its own emblems).
