2011 Lexus LFA Styles

The 2011 Lexus LFA, which will soon be available at Lexus of Reno, employs a unique Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic cabin to achieve exceptional integrity and light-weight construction.

Notably, the V10 has a 9,000-rpm redline, which is impressively high for an engine approaching 5 liters in displacement. This powerhouse likes to be revved hard, yet with a full 90 percent of its maximum torque (354 pound-feet) available from 3,700 rpm, there’s none of the low-rpm laziness that blights other high-revving engines. Equipped with a six-speed single-clutch automated manual transmission, the LFA can leap to 60 mph in a claimed 3.7 seconds and hit a top speed of 202 mph.

The LFA’s styling is rather avant-garde — it’s similar to a Nissan GT-R in shape and proportion minus the origami-style bends in the sheet metal.The cockpit is lavished with polished alloys, fine leather and real carbon fiber, as you’d rightly expect.
