I really like how they have refined the F logo for this car. It looks a little cartoonish on the IS F in my opinion and they really did a nice job touching it up for the LFA.

A few laps around "Florida's Homestead-Miami Speedway."
My guess:
Next stop would be Viva Las Vegas for SEMA!!!

4.8-liter 72-degree V10 putting out 560 hp at 8,700 RPM (that's 116.5 hp/liter) and 354 lb.-ft. of torque at 6,800 RPM
Redline: 9,000 RPM
Titanium valves, connecting rods, forged aluminum pistons, dry sump lubrication and a titanium exhaust manifold
Six-speed sequential gearbox
Torsen limited slip differential
3,263 pounds with a 48/52 front-to-rear weight distribution
Power-to-weight ratio of 5.8 pounds/hp
65 percent of the body is carbon fiber

Disappointing, after all the delays for supposedly better aerodynamics and a much higher top speed. 
Let's hope that it will at least have a record-breaking 'Ring time to brag about.

The pictures, just WOW!
As for the specs, PLEASE tell me those are not accurate.
Top speed of 202 mph? That is very dissapointing!

I'm now realizing the cheaper, sexier Ferrari 458 Italia is faster in every single way. Hm. I mean it has 2 more horsepower, goes 1 mph faster, big deal right? But the Ferrari is 200 pounds lighter. This car is FAR from Zonda and SLR hypercar territory as others have claimed before. My feelings slowly waning...

This car is tooooooooo good. 500 units worldwide only? No way, Lexus should at least make 10000 units.

202MPH is disappointing but I wonder if this is the true top speed, or the advertised top speed. For example, the IS F will sail to over 170MPH if I recall, but is "electronically limited" to 150 or whatever.
