http://www.lexuslife.com/lexus/lfa/
Quote: The LF-A sports-car concept was originally shown at the 2005 NAIAS to express a bold new direction in styling for the Lexus brand. The goals for the new LF-A are no different than they were with the original concept: To build a supercar with world-class performance that is uniquely Lexus.
As with all new Lexus vehicles, the styling of the LF-A is rooted in a design direction called L-finesse. The concept of L-finesse was used to shape and detail the original LF-A, and it was used to reshape, redetail and redefine this latest version. Lexus has further refined the styling of the new LF-A to enhance its exotic nature with a greater use of curved surfaces and interesting details.
The running gear of the LF-A is just as it was with the original, powered by a high-revving 500-plus horsepower V10 engine. Its front mid-engine placement, along with a rear-mounted transaxle and rear-mounted radiators, allows for excellent weight distribution. The horsepower, superior aerodynamics, and revised styling makes a top speed of 200 mph not only possible but probable.
An "F" logo, indicating the vehicle's status as a part of the new "F" marque, is located on each front fender.
"The first LF-A was a pure concept, but one that we went so far as to conduct engineering analysis on," said Carter. "This latest concept is much closer to a vehicle that we would bring to market, and one in which we will be gauging consumer interest."

| The front is way too radical. The basic proportions on the side view look really nice though. Much better than the IS-F. If they brought this car back to earth a little it might look really good. |

It's different... Headlights are a trip - need another viewing angle :ponder:
Angles look nice (in my opinion: a little too rounded off everywhere ~ sharper angles is more my taste :clap: ).
That front bumper extends out like platypus (but that could be due to the lighting :doh: )
(sharper angles, maybe vents below the headlights, or elevating the nose :idea: ).
:blah: "An "F" logo, indicating the vehicle's status as a part of the new "F" marque, is located on each front fender." :doh: :lalala: Plz, no "F" icon as the apex of Lexus.
:idea: Be Original, think out of the box :!:
Your naming convention is what will elevate the cars into timeless classics.
Beyond that, what's under the motor and how it performs is truly vital (no doubt it should be awesome :eyes: :!: :come: ). |
