Lexus LF-A hybrid supercar picture gallery

    launched at 2007 Tokyo Motor Show

    We got to see the Lexus LF-A concept at the 2005 Detroit Auto Show. And catch a few eyes it definitely did. The new design philosophy visible in the LF-A was called L-Finesse by Lexus.

    While the initial information was that it would be a V8 powering this supercar, the latest rumors are that the LF-A would be powered by a hybrid engine. The V8 would be there, but there would be an electric motor too - and the specifications for that is not available yet.

    The V8 would be a 5 litre engine producing 435 bhp. The power distribution and how big a role the electric motor would play is unknown yet. Well, a hybrid supercar is in some ways a little late to the party - especially when an all-electric supercar (?), The Tesla Electric Roadster, has just been launched.

    Anyway, top speed of the LF-A is expected to be in excess of 200 mph, and the 0-60 acceleration time would be under 4 seconds. It is nine inches shorter than the Porsche 911 Turbo, and at 48 inches, almost the same height as a Ferrari F430.

    Lexus believes that the V8 would help them bring Toyota's Formula One experience to the supercar. The hybrid LF-A might make its appearance at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show.

    SO far, no one has managed to get a spyshot of the Lexus LF-A. We will keep you posted. For now, enjoy the pictures released during the Detroit Auto Show.
