Lexus Supercar Confirmed for Tokyo Motor Show
Lexus has announced that “a revolutionary two-seat supercar” will be unveiled later this month at the Tokyo Motor Show—the full brief:
Two-seat supercar (world premier)
This concept vehicle epitomizes the purest form of driving exhilaration and performance. (Details to be announced at the Lexus press briefing on October 21.)
This “two-seat supercar” is, of course, the LFA—though I’m not sure why it’s still being referred to as a concept vehicle. Only two weeks left!
(The LF-Ch will also be appearing at the Tokyo Motor Show.)

Most sources indicate that this time is the production model. It could be lost in translation, or they want to keep the production decision a ‘surprise’ up to the last minute.
It’s a good thing, too, because the world does not need another LFA concept.
I really loved this design… until I saw the FT-86… I hope they have some surprises in store for us in a couple of weeks… the FT-86 is so clean and aggressive, with minimal vents and trick see-thru “A” pillars… I’m sure all the venting in necessary on the LF-A, but on the earlier concepts, they were more integrated, dimensional, and sunken into the body (the front, hood and rear openings look like simple cut-outs; but the side holes are nicely done)... crossed fingers.
The mules that have been running around have been great, but I wish Lexus really would surprise us with something even more stunning. Remember when officials claimed that nothing we saw on the road were what the real LFA was gona look like? I hope that’s still the case.
Has it really been this long? I remember counting 6 months left and only 2 weeks until Lexus’ biggest thing since the first LS…wow
I will have a nice drink when Lexus finally releases this car.
=D
Lexus oh how you grown.
Man, I cannot wait for the final unveiling. The exhuast note, based on the spy videos, sounds like an F1 car. I hope Lexus held nothing back when designing this vehicle. Would love Top Gear test it once it comes out.
o
my car ‘ll be out in 2 weeks
yup!!!!!!!!
hopefully they’ll ship it to Egypt
and if they do ill be the first one there to see your car
i think its safe to say FT86 will become the base of the LFA
they really have, haven’t they? it seems like just yesterday i held their leather trimmed wooden chrome sided bottle…
There’s still a possibility for surprise—I know I can’t say for certain what the supercar will look like.
On my list of personal goals: The LFA around Nürburgring—THEN I’ll have a nice drink.
Haha.
I think the LFA on Top Gear is a pretty safe bet.
tsk tsk tsk…i’ll never drink anything in my life, i’ve decided already after the little accident i had a few months back…nothing serious but i got bruised and woke up in a toga wearing a bowl on my head in the middle of the guy’s living room after the party…
anyways
jeremy clarkson looks forward to making another v10 man smoothie with the LFA engine…
TOP GEAR ON NOV 15th!!! LEXUS! PLEASE LET THEM HAVE SOME FUN WITH IT. MAKE SURE JEZZA GETS IT. I BET HE’D LOVE IT!
Hope Season 14 is nowhere near the last series of Top Gear.
ok
deal
but as you said they ‘l definitely ship it to KSA or UAE or those countries which have petrol and money
but you welcome really and Krew and all guys here
their is a lot of sites but only 10 lexus cars in egypt
Like supra, like LFA?
Then all we’d need is a medium-sized GS coupe, followed by a big, super-luxurious LS coupe!

PEOPLE LOVE IT!!!
10? you are one lucky man
howdy!
or may be just one in between as the 6 series between 5 & 7
to show the E class coupe and CL who’s boss
top gear isn’t doing anything for halloween?
i know
i traveled to dubai UAE i found a lot of lexus their
even i found some ES’s as a taxi !!!!!
in egypt approximately all the egyptian ‘ll choose BMW and/or Mercedes over any other even when MB & BM see that they make a facilities in egypt for all that orders for ‘em
just it is clearly to make you see the whole case
egypt annual market is from 120,000 to 150,000 depend on economy per year from the total market
which let’s say 150,000
10000=BMW , Mini & Rolls-Royce
12500=Mercedes Benz
22500=GM (which have a plant here also)
30000=Hyundai (as BMW , MB & GM has a plant)
40000=japanese most popular is lancer , sunny , yaris and corolla
35000=all remaning world wide company including lada and yugo
what if it really IS another concept?...my God we don’t need anything more from the LFA than the production version…jeez…i’m just really hoping this will be the “surprise 4th Lexus model” this year, otherwise this or the GX…the GX! it got so quiet…any word if the 2010 GX will be shown at the TAS?
hehe
i think it’s great yup
but lexus can make the big lux. coupe with lenght from 4.80 to 4.90 (m) and have the same in 4.50’s for the IS and the in between let it for toyota
as mark-x coupe and sold the mark-x sedan , coupe & caprio instead of camry & solara
that ‘ll make both company looks amazing not only one
i think it ‘ll be definitely the production version
it went through 2 24-hr races
it’s engine got more power and torque from the 5.5l and o/p around 500 hp rumored in the first LFA to the 4.8l which rumored to o/p 600 hp
it’s a huge enhancement
and i guess as Mr. Akio toyoda said that they need a sport car , cars with soul to make people back to toyota the enthusiasts he mean
and now we see the FT86 and rumored about Supra , MR , GT and lexus SC so i guess the LFA ‘ll be and must be starting production before ‘em as the master piece that make every one look forward to any thing coming from ‘yota
The GS coupe should be able to fill in the space as a competitor for the 6 and E-coupe - the 6-series platform is based on the 5-series. BMW designers are promising an extremely jaw-dropping, mouth-drooling next-generation 6-series, just as Mercedes said the new E-coupe would be the sexist car out there, which is an extremely beautiful car itself - sleek, and sexy, yet also stately, and the E-class cabrio is just… wow.
Just to let the Lexus designers know, the 6-series, although having a timeless look, is quite a boring car. I realize that the simplicity was intentional, so the car would look sophisticated, but guess why BMW is promising more for the new generation?
I can see it…
- a coupe based on teh LF-Ch concept (entry level; must be light)
- IS coupe (the main focus of the public)
- GS coupe (sporty mid-size)
- ES coupe (feminine beauty mid-size)
- LS coupe (stately and… stately big!)
- SC coupe (the sportier one - with LFA’s tiny size but with a price tag varying from a GS hybrid’s to a basic LS 460 L’s)
I honestly believe that Lexus’ lineup is organized so perfectly that the coupes can be great cars that are uniquely different from each other while not costing so much in time and money during development.
just wow!
i like your line up
but i have those idea wanna share
*ES Coupe i think ‘ll be shaded by time as the solara
ES is bloated and i think IS coupe ‘ll be feminine also
i even donna wanna see new generation ES
*CT coupe is brilliant idea am with you totally in it
*SC you said it ‘ll be the sportier
so that the LFA also and the price tag ‘ll shad it
i think it ‘ll be fine if we return the SC to it’s sourer roots a lux sport coupe
Nope. Afraid we’d have to wait till Nov. Unless they’re planning a special, but I haven’t heard anything about that yet.
only 11 days left till we get to know it all…
I don’t think anything can beat the supreme Mercedes-Benz CL-class which to me is closer to perfection than any other automobile Man has ever created. Period.
you’re lucky your name starts with Lexus or i wud have been another step closer to being banned…
sigh…
lol… I’m just mad that Lexus didn’t plan a proper coupe for the current generation LS. What I have in mind is a coupe riding both on the short wheelbase and the long wheelbase with a rather big distinction between the two.
but that ‘ll turn the line up to coupe’s
may be if toyota wanna make a new generation of the century
they can leave the name under lexus brand and make a century (sedan/coupe/cabrio)
The CL is wild—though I would probably take a S-Class or CLS first. Having only two doors would freak me out.
yup and that’s why i said a line up consists of 4 door coupe or sports sedan with 2 or 3 coupes much more better than either coupe line up or bloated un spirited sedan line up
Guess you’re a family type guy, eh Krew
But would you consider a Lexus GS or IS coupe ?
Also I found it strange that the CL’s front seats felt distinctly more comfy than the S even though they both look the same. Maybe its just me.
8 days and counting…..!!
ONE DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TOMORROW NIGHT!!!!!!!
FINALLYY!!!!!!
AFTER 5 YEARS!!!!
The numbers of the time we’ve waited, the time of arrival, the times we’ve checked up on the LFA, the times we’ve gotten official news on the LFA, the times we’ve gotten rumors of the LFA, the times we’ve liked the LFA, the times we’ve hated the LFA, etc. excite me more than the actual LFA performance numbers!
WOW!!!!!
my car is coming
so now i just hope to see a genuine great fabulous looking super car as i always dream about
and as all pics and vids taken say it ‘ll be
Help finding package deal to the 41st Tokyo Motor show?
<<spam link removed>>
@Blandick: I don’t think a Lexus website is the right place to advertise “cash for junk” ...unless you’re not looking specifically for Lexus vehicles.
@Blandick: spam link removed, as the 41st Tokyo Motor Show concluded in 2009…of course, the LFA story continues…
