After years of rumors, speculation, spy shots and even a few runs at the Nürburgring 24 Hour race, Toyota has finally unveiled the Lexus LFA supercar. And the headline figures are quite spectacular: 10 cylinders, 9,000 rpm, well over 500 horsepower, a production run of just 500 and a nauseating $375,000 price tag.

The soul of the LFA is a feral sounding 4.8 liter V-10 with 552 hp and 354 lb.-ft of torque, which can propel the car to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds and on to a top speed of 202 mph. Transferring the power to the rear wheels is a special Automated Sequential Gearbox (ASG), providing the LFA with six forward speeds and lightning-quick shifts. Race developed aluminum alloy suspension and carbon ceramic brakes keep the car firmly planted on terrestrial soil, while an electric-assist rack and pinion steering system helps to achieve epic oversteer, we’re guessing.

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) is used for the chassis and much of the bodywork, keeping the curb weight to a minimum. CFRP has allowed the LFA’s design team to create bodylines and shapes that would be impossible to create using metal.

Lexus is only making 500 LFAs at a price of $375K, which means that the majority of Lexus and Toyota fans will only be able to dream about this car. Better pick up some Lotto tickets on the way home from work.
