Default Lexus LFR/LFA II starts public road testing

Looks like the road-going version of the upcoming LFR/LFA II GT3 racer has hit the road officially. Still an early mule as it's using what seems to be some placeholder windows and bumper trims.

Really exciting though and the proportions are amazing.

That long Toyota nose again.

Looks great otherwise.

Those seats look serious. I wonder whether it'll come just like this or that this is some track-focused version.

i don't care for the looks. the hood/front are almost half the length.

but it's great they're doing something exciting.

I'm guessing it will come with a track-oriented edition and a "touring" type wingless version

Looks good - hopefully it will not get cancelled like the LC-F.

I dont know if its just the camo, but it looks like the LFA and Viper had a secret child together. Regardless it looks great and excited. It will be horribly outpowered and outdated by the time it debuts, but its better than nothing.

The LC-F would not have been competitive in its segment. Overweight and underpowered relative to its peers.
