Default BMW LFA: 6 Letters You Probably Didn't Expect to See Together



BMW and Lexus are reportedly developing a new supercar, which will hopefully be more super than the Audi R8.

Read the rest on the Club Lexus homepage. >>

I'll take one if it's under 200k. successor to lfa sounds expensive though. I will take donations.

I hope the styling is a little less "tortured" in the final, but good on Lexus/BMW to go after the R 8, Lamborghini, Aston Martin high end.

After reading that the new FT-1/Supra will use a chassis and engine developed entirely by BMW, I have completely lost faith in this so-called collaboration and really wish Toyota/Lexus would do this on its own by building on its experience with the LFA, instead of shaming and making a joke out of themselves by rebadging someone else's engineering and calling it their flagship halo car.

I think most of the information in that article if at all is true will be applied to the upcoming FT-1/Supra 'Sports Car' that is to come. BMW is interested in working together with McLaren to build a 'Super Car' (http://www.slashgear.com/bmw-and-mcl...50hp-21405686/).

With the Lexus LC or SC coming down the pipe I don't see an LFA successor for a while if ever.
