Default Lexus Unveils A LF-A Roadster Concept

Very similar both in structure and drivetrain (except their concept has a V10) to the Z06
Good read...

It could be a C6 competitor? That's the only tie in I see.

Man, chill out!!! You can tell from the title that it is not C6 related. Don't open it if you don't want to read it.

Key-word here being "concept". Never happen...atleast not in that form or function.

...I second the earlier post...what does this REALLY have to do with the C6?

Nice looking and I am sure if it is built the price will be higher than the ZR1.

Tough crowd...

I thought the first line I wrote about it being similar would be enough.
Not too many out there that use an aluminum frame with carbon fiber and with the engine being connected via a torque tube and propeller shaft to a transaxle.

No big deal, I just like the fact they keep chasing the Corvette...

Oh, IBTL X2...

...don't like anything about it - if this is their best shot, the Corvette has nothing to worry about.
