The Lexis LF-A has been spotted on the road again. Seen for the first time in 2009, the supercar was spied during a run on the 'Ring.

For this run, during industry-only performance testing at the Nürburgring, Lexus wheeled out a LF-A racecar with new air intakes and a rear diffuser. These changes may only be in place for the upcoming 56. ADAC Westfalenfahrt being held this weekend at the Nordschleife. The four-hour long distance race on the Nürburgring grand prix circuit this weekend will include drivers Hiromu Naruse, Minoru Takaki, and Yoshinobu Katsumata piloting the LF-A for Gazoo Racing. The three drivers will try to retain the LF-A's SP8 class first place title after the surprising win last year. We're not sure if either the intakes or diffuser will make production.

Legendary Toyota test driver Hiromu Naruse has the helm on this project. Naruse has been with the firm for 46 years, earning the title of "Nur Meister" for being the "One and Only Master Craftsman" of automobile manufacturing. His credentials include work on the Toyota 7, 2000GT, MR-2, MR-S, and the Supra, to name a few.

Set for a Tokyo Motor Show debut in October, the Lexus LF-A is expected to get a V10 engine that produces over 600 bhp. With its carbon fibre body and rear wing, a 0-60mph in under four seconds is likely. The F1 paddleshifters will help the driver get to a top speed of over 200mph.

Sick. Too bad the NSX got canned.

Damn that's a nice looking car. You just want to sit there and look at the lines.

Makes you think it's rear engine... but I guess it's not. Radiators are rear mounted.

Please let it be faster than the GT-R so the GT-R fan boys can shut up!

Wait, I''ve never heard of a GTR fan boi in my life.

depends, my guess is it will either be slower, and cost a shitload more, or maybe it will be faster, and still cost a shitload more. :D:

not feelin the exhaust outlets but everything else is :jerkit:

nice. thanks for sharing alfy. i hope they fix the bumpers (front & back). it looks like they are trying to hide the real design by purposely making those look ugly and pieced together for now.

Shit! to bad Lexis got it :( but yeah I bet its going to be a JZ in there. My guess is it will run 13's flat to keep up with the GT-R Z06 and SS.

"13's flat" for a GT-R and Z06? Huh? If that's a joke, I didnt get it.

i think those exhaust tips are inspired by the crossfire

What? Is something in the water today? I'm not drinking it.

Dual squared-off center-exit exhaust pipes inspired the LS-A's triple circle inset exhaust? Ah. I don't think so, bro.

They used Bugatti's middle exhaust thing, except they filled it with pipes :(

z06s do 10s btw...

and i think this car is hot. :)

52 passes to get there but 10.85 is freaking awesome for a stock car .....

The drag radials probably help for 1-2 seconds right?

Thats just sexy!

:icon_no2: No, the DR's didn't help 1-2 seconds. The same car ran 10.98 with the stock tires. Back on topic...

if drag radials knocked 2 seconds off your times, everyone would buy them. :lol:

i would be running mids 12s!! LOL that just sounds completely ridiculous. :lol:

Sweet ride, because its Lexus you know that car is going to be expensive! Wouldn't be surprised if this car is well north of the 100k mark....:icon_no2:

The front end is OK, the rear end looks like it was stolen from a Corvette. I guess the radiators drove the tail design, unfortunately. 4/5.

oh its deff. a bad ass car but...IMO i think from the side view it looks like a stretched 370z with alot more decoration lol

wow what a great looking car. Any idea on the Price tag.

awesome looking car, it would be great to have a production version of this that could give the GT-R a run for its money. Unfortunately I don't think the price will allow it to do that...

an aston and a lexus is F ran into each other... and this was the product.
