Lexus forges into exotic sports car territory with the LF-A concept vehicle. Integrating the simple elegance of the new Lexus design initiative with racing–inspired style, sculpted curves and fluid lines make a dynamic statement. The clean lines of the two-seat cockpit are minimalist and futuristic, so there’s no distraction from the impressive ride.
Rumor has it this will be priced from $200k – $400k…insane! Not digging the triple exhaust tips though. Needs a set of gold deep dish wheels & 16niss banner.
