Lexus LF-A...

[Elbow]

Are these out yet? Anywhere? I haven't really heard much about them, but see one racing.

[HypnoToad]

nah there not out yet,last thing ive seen from them was testing it round the ring...and it was turning some nice times.

Toyota is waiting for Nissan's V-spec time around the ring to beat. And Honda is waiting for Toyota's time. That's my assumption at least.

Honda cancled the NSX. Acura still has no V-8s or anything interesting.

Some new pics.

Honda shelved the NSX replacement project. If economic conditions get better, there is no doubt Honda will go after the LF-A along with the GT-R. And for something extra, Honda's new CEO was the head of the original NSX chassis design.

Also, the CEO of Acura announced publicly that even though the NSX replacement was shelved, they are still going full force to achieve Tier 1 status. Speculation of a V8 RWD RL derived from the project is still possible.

LF-A is the shit. Can't wait until it comes to the public.

No offense but we've heard that same bullcrap for years. First off their NSX replacement was ugly and a front engine V-10. That is no NSX that is something else. We have heard for decades Acura going RWD, geting V-8s etc. They are not. What we do get is some old ass engine and an old ass 5 speed auto and the ugliest vehicles around.
I loved Acura in the 1990s. The brand now, is a complete joke.

Tier 1 is more than some products, its image, dealer service, style, desirability etc. Acura will never be Tier 1. SOrry.

the lf-a is faster than the v spec round the ring by little over a second,right now......

Lexus LF-A Concept will debut in video game Need For Speed Shift this September

Need For Speed Shift car line up has been announced and Lexus LF-A Concept is on it so here is our first chance to take it for a spin before the real one shows up in Tokyo.

Hopefully they do what they did with Nissan GT-R in Pro Street. They announced it as a concept and when real production model premiered they replaced concept version with production one.

Oddly there is no IS-F in a game
