Automotive Faqs

The Lexus LF-A concept was shown to the public in 2005 and ever since then other companies have been racing to compete with it. We were lucky enough to spy the new car when someone taped it on the test track in Nurburgring, Germany. Of course at that point in the production there was no design to it and it was completely bland.

The latest spy photos of a similar prototype on the same track reveal a few more details than before. Up front you can clearly see the detailing of the headlights. With their amber marker lights and single projector beam in the middle, the clusters are significantly different from those of the concept. Other revisions worth noting are the three large air intakes and F1-inspired front airdam.

In profile this LF-A prototype doesn’t reveal much more than before. You can see the actual body panels this time around, but there’s not much in the way of character lines other than a slightly swept-back B-pillar, yet another change to the concept. The flat shoulder panels and side air intakes look as though they’ll make it through to production as well. In back, the center-mounted exhaust pipes remain along with the thin taillights and twin-tunnel diffuser. We hope to see a near production version of the LF-A at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show.
