Just looking around and came across lexus' Concept cars. Theres five of them.
One which I find really nice the LF-A Model, Its like a radical version of the old soarer In my opinion. Has a few things which could do with some alterations but overall I think its sharp and sleek look pretty nice.
The nose integration looks rather similar.. 
I quite like the new sharp shape lexus is taking on, really interesting. If the classic 1991 soarers are superbly engineered think how outstanding these newer ones will be!! Oh and how could I forget the huge prices!

Heres the Link to the rest - Note the LF-sh Hybrid v8 - I think its the new LS460 or something. |

Oh wow, Just reading through that tread and its good to see others also find it much like the soarer, with the nose shape and overall styling of the car.
Didnt see there was already a thread about this. Never mind though |

Why does it have fans in the back???  Some kind of an afterburner equivalent?  |

I think if they extended the bonnet a bit more (so the "slope" is not that sharp) the car would have looked much longer and better. Like on our Soarers. I love the interior. What do you think? |

I was thinking the same thing moments ago, The bonnet slopes a bit to steep and could be longer If it was longer and has less of that slope it would look a bit better and yeah more like the soarer.
Mmm interiors great, Kind of like the DB9 interior... |

I don't think it looks bad at all!!
I like the full glass roof. And you can claim you're saving the environment cos it's a hybrid  |

Ali, the CGT went 7:27 around the ring, the LF-A went 7:24. Unbelievable but true.
The Pagani Zonda F only went 7:27!!! The LF-A is bloody fast.
Also if you want to compare engines as well the Zonda F is powered by a 7.3L V12 making 640 bhp vs the LF-A's V10 making only 552 bhp oh and that's with only a 4.8L!
And we can add in that the CGT is a 612 bhp beast with a 5.7L V10.
I'd say that the LF-A is impressive. |
