Default More F models coming.

The LFA is all about Lexus flexing its technical and marketing arms. It was as if Lexus/Toyota created a vehicle that answered no one's question but their own. It was to celebrate expected Toyota F1 success. Or a reward to diehard Lexus/Toyota enthusiasts.

With a $400K admission price, many Lexus owners felt left out..... a forbidden fruit.

Here is the good news: Toyota has created a new Division: Sport Vehicle Management. It is a new group tasked in producing sporty application of the various Lexus/Toyota models.

If how Lexus covered the SUV segments is any indication- the Lexus world will have an outstanding collection of F models.

The best Lexus models are yet to come !! Life is good.

Happy New Year!

RS6 is AWD also its metalwork, drive-train/ sub frame/ construction are vastly different from the production A6 wagon.. not boltons+ motor-swaps

And the thing has a total of seven heat exchangers...
Wait which has more the RS6 or Veyron *scratches head*

Their management team continues to be incredible. The LFA provides the halo and the other F cars and other vehicles get the glow.
