The new LF-A is estimated $375,000 limited production (500 bolids only!) Lexus supercar that was introduced at the Tokyo Motor Show today. The specifications of the new rear-drive Lexus supercar are impressive enough: a 4.8-liter V10 with 560 ps (552 bhp), 354 lb-ft torque, a zingy 9,000 rpm redline, six-speed sequential gearbox, 0-62 mph in 3.7 seconds, and a top speed of 202 mph.
