Lexus LF-A possibility?

[Corsis]

I havent seen anything about any Lexus/Toyota cars in this game. I know they are going for a more exotic feel of cars. I hope the new Lexus LF-A concept is either in the game or or available as a download. Its rumored to go into production in 2007. Going to be going against the Porsche Carrera GT and Lamborghini Gallardo with its 5 liter v-10 500HP engine. Heres some pics

I hope this car is in this game at some point.

Ill buy one if they put it in the game.

Well, 1 thing. The Carrera GT is out of production, so I don't see how they'll compete much.

Last, Toyota recently reported the car will now use a V8 instead of a V10.

[mopar4life]

Is the Lexus a Front Engine Rear Drive. If so it could compete with the Viper.

[KoenigViper]

I believe it is. But Lexus is more after BMW's new M3, with a few others.

Yea it is. I didnt hear about them switching it to a V-8 though.

Do you have a link for this. Not that i dont believe you, i am very interested in this car. The last information i could find stated that they were going to make it out of carbon fiber chassis instead of aluminum and that it was debuting at the Japanes grand prix as a pace car.

It looks good for an import high horsepower car. Will they build it.

[Andrewistheman]

Dats a sweet car i hope it is in the game i wounder ifthat can beat ferrari enzo ? can it koenig ? sonce uknow alot u think it would beat it in a street race 2 miles of free road

[mopar4life]

I doubt it unless it wieghs less than 3000lbs.

[WildKarrde]

That's a pretty hot looking car. I hope they build it! Then I can go test drive it. :D

I doubt it unless it wieghs less than 3000lbs.

[Corsis]

According to this link the car is supposedly 2600lbs.

Seems like its being made for 2008-09 release. There is a video somewhere, of it on some track in germany i believe.

My info on the V8 came from a magazine recently. I'm sure AutoWeek might have something on it.

Problem is that Lexus never hits its mark with claimed performance figures, so who knows how the LF-A will go.

Claimed:
GS450h 0-100km/h in 5.9 seconds

Actual:
GS450h 0-100km/h in 6.9 seconds
6.1 seconds when going downhill.

I'd still go an M3 over a Lexus, but I'd go a C55 over an M3.

dude that is a concept car i don't think they will put it in if there are no spec on it so yea make that a no:down:

[KoenigViper]

Um? Search much?

We've got TWO Shelby Concepts in the game, and TWO Chrysler ones. The specs come from pre-determined computers. This is where the developers would get their info.

It would be cool if they have this car in the game. Here are some scans from a japanese mag.

check it out::cool:

The greenhouse looks like a Ferrari or Porsche roofline. The rest of the car looks maligned and confused. I don't like it.

[mopar4life]

Off topic is the Chysler Firepower in the game.

[Firemaster]

the firepower is on the unofficial list

[Brock78]

That exhaust system is crazy looking.

[KoenigViper]

Off topic is the Chysler Firepower in the game.
From screenshots, yes, it is.

[mopar4life]

Sweet wonder what its stats are.

[WildKarrde]

I think I'd rather have the Firepower than the Viper... but we'll see.... :)

Looks good, doesn't the front look a little Enzo/SLK?

[mopar4life]

You hand me the keys to either and I wont complain.
