Lexus changing LF-A’s name to LF-L?

Monday, August 17th, 2009

Back in May we first notified you of what would go on to be Lexus’s supercar entitled the LF-A. Well, recent reports are suggesting that the LF-A moniker will be changed to LF-L. News comes to us from Holiday Auto who says the car will be changed to LF-L to show consumers that it will be making its debut at Le Mans in the coming years. Specs remain the same in the sense that the car will feature a 4.8l V10 engine with a 6-speed transmission.

Would it really anger any of you (or cause any other emotion) if Lexus does go ahead and change the LF-A’s name to LF-L? I didn’t think so.

Lexus LF-A to Arrive at the Tokyo Motor Show

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009


Lexus has a supercar scheduled to appear at the Tokyo Motor Show in October. Although it was delayed for quite a while the LF-A will appear in just a few months. The LF-A will get you a top speed of at least 218 mph thanks to a new 4.8-liters V10 engine capable of 550 hp and a six-speed semi-automatic gearbox.

Only 500 lucky buyers will be able to get the LF-A as Lexus will not make more than 500 units. The buyers will have to pay about $200,000 to own one and it could be available as early as 2010.
