Lexus LFA 2 confirmed for production by Lexus
Great exciting news. Even LFA 3 is being planned already. The legend is making a come back. Most likely, the 5.3 Liter V10 engine will be the basis for the new LFA as it was being used as a test bench at the Nurburgring race.

As with all of the new performance-focused products coming out of Toyota these days, the LFA II has the support of company CEO Akio Toyoda. “Akio believes that every generation deserves to have a car like an LFA” said Templin, “so we’re building an LFA for the generation we have today.”
Templin went on to comment that there may even be plans for a car after that.

The LFA was introduced in 2010, featuring a carbon fiber chassis, a 552 hp V10 engine and a price tag of $375,000. Just 500 LFAs were made.
Lexus is currently in the midst of a strong product push, having just launched the new NX crossover with the RC and RC F models set to arrive later this year. Rumors have indicated the Toyota luxury division is also planning to launch a version of its LF-LC concept car with a choice of either a hybrid engine or a twin-turbo V8.

Awesome that the 2LFA is coming...might be awhile though. As for the 3LFA that might be even much longer say about 10 or more years...

The formula in my guess Lexus is going for this time:
5.3 Liter V10 + 10,000+ rpm + electric hybrid motor = insane amount of horsepower
Let's see if that comes true.

Very exciting news indeed!The larger the displacement the harder to rev higher and faster. Hope they can surprise us though.
