The front is over-styled but that wouldn't keep me from buying one. The cost would but not the way it looks. Darn thing is hot as a firecracker! Twice as hot...and it's a Lexus. Please sell this car cause one day I promise to own one.

I think the front end is improved big time, and the back as well. I believe the rear end integrated the new design cues (shades of LF-Sh / LS IMO) with the vents/etc well. The new front end is good, but the overhang with the lower bumper air intakes might not be as harmonious. I also think there is a lot of 'empty' space between the headlights (grille area). Maybe a non-blacked out Lexus logo would work...or a bigger one.

So, if the IS-F has the 5.0L engine, what will this have to make it 500 hp?

IS-F is a V8 . . .

LF-A will be a V10 I think

After looking at some of the rear shots, I think Lexus has removed the rear pop-up spoiler for the LF-A concept. Any thoughts?

Regards,

The front of the car is like some Japanese fish on stereoids hehe.

Over a year until this car comes out. I can not wait to take this for a test drive. Hope I can convince the dealership to let me drive it on the F1 circuit here in Montreal hehe

They are all high powered LED's. Because it's still in concept stage, it's put together for aesthetics for the time being.

Would be nice to see this as the SC-F. I just hope the SC will be the same but with the 4.6L from the LS460

Which would be interesting to see:

$80,000 US / 4.6L - 380hp SC (up against Aston Martin V8 Vantage / Porsche 997 Carrera / BMW 650 / Audi A7 / Mercedes Benz SL550)

$120,000 US / 5.0L - 500+ hp SC-F (up against Aston Martin DBS / Porsche 997 Turbo / Lamborghini Gallardo / Ferrari F*** / Mercedes Benz SL55 / Audi R8)

Even though some of the competiting models will be older than the LF-A (SC-F) you can see what it will be up against.

Those prices would be reasonable.

I will be frank. I do not like the looks of the IS-F. However, I feel that Lexus has absolutely nailed the visual piece of the LF-A. I absolutely love it. If this thing comes to production with Corporate's power and weight goals, it is going to be unbelievable. Can't wait.
