It’s Here!: Introducing the Lexus LF-A
Tuesday, October 20, 2009 @ 08:10 PM
After more drama than the Brett Favre hype, Lexus decided to put their first supercar into production
Specs (don’t know if they are verified or not):
- 4.8-liter 72-degree V10 putting out 560 hp at 8,700 RPM (that’s 116.5 hp/liter) and 354 lb.-ft. of torque at 6,800 RPM
- Redline: 9,000 RPM
- Titanium valves, connecting rods, forged aluminum pistons, dry sump lubrication and a titanium exhaust manifold
- Six-speed sequential gearbox
- Torsen limited slip differential
- 3,263 pounds with a 48/52 front-to-rear weight distribution
- Power-to-weight ratio of 5.8 pounds/hp
- 65 percent of the body is carbon fiber
- 20-inch BBS wheels wrapped in 265/35 ZR20 Bridgestone tires in front and 305/30 ZR20 in the rear.
- 0-62 MPH (100 km/h) in 3.7 seconds
- Top speed of 201.94 MPH
- Production limited to 500 units
Supposedly, the car is going to be very limited production and may have a $400,000 price tag. We’ll see about that when there’s official word.
Certified. Effing. Fire.
