Has to be a very, VERY good car if it dreams of being a Porsche/GT-R rival. So far, in terms of visuals and performance, the LF-A seems promising.

That will be a moving spoiler like the SL65 black series & that car is looking evil like it can eat somebody.

I think from now on I'm gonna have a lot more respect for every new petrol car that hasn't got a turbo/supercharger/compressor engine

Honda is holding off on the NSX due to the poor economy. But, just how bad is it? Anyone knows the GTR numbers? Maybe now is not so bad.

Runs realy good,It will be expensive toy for Lex Lovers not more.I never heard,seen that potentional buyer of M3 or C63 who bought is-F only If it was Lex lover.So my word the limited production.

Hmmm...the people didn't trust the F badge like they trust the M one, but I'm sure that if that in a few years if Lexus keeps doing a good job and if we will have a GS-F,LS-F and a second gen. IS-F they will steal some clients from the germans.

i think it will fit in as the mercedes' forthcoming sls amg arch rival.

Nothing quite like the sound of a high strung NA V10. I remember a prototype ran a confirmed 7:24 back in '07. Doesn't mean the final version will automatically live up to that, but it's a promising start.

To Renegade.Somewhere i agree with you but is exact not about GS.The M devision eat such ideas on breakfast,E-AMG other story.LS fantastic car don't need f and other things i have seen the tuned model's of Ls it was awful.It's perfect how it is.What about is-f absolute agree few gen and we will se realy good shaken car real competitor with own claims and tricks.

10 years, from when? It's been presented first in Detroit 2007 or 2006, anyway it's using the Camaro marketing strategy.

Probably 2032... The problem is they cannot engineer it to beat the GTR; therefore the car cannot be released yet.

Nice...
but is this really the true replacement for the Toyota Supra but with a $20k badge?

I think that Supra should be a totally stand alone car, so with inline-6 and TT and of course a lot of carbonfibre and ceramic brakes, and all new tech on everything...and of course RWD!!! and Lexus LF-A should be on other hand a 5.0 V10 NA high-revving beast with RWD and a lot od racing tech!
There should be two different cars in terms of getting the result in different way!
In that case even Honda would re-animate NSX!
And we will be pleased to see a bunch of Japs terrorizing others :)

this car will be very differet from the gt-r and will have much more power.
actually it would interesting had they maintained turbocharing it with that rear radiator. just think the front has a stand alone intercooler, really clean set up but i guess lexs decided running a v10 would bring more class.
