Detroit 2008: Lexus LF-A Roadster

Motive dropped Lexus' bomb on the unsuspecting masses a few minutes ago, showing the roadster version of the LF-A premium sports car concept. The high-po roadster is made up of carbon fiber and aluminum, supposedly maintaining a high amount of structural rigidity even without its roof.

Pulling both design and (assumed) engineering from the LF-A coupe, the roadster will be packing approximately 5.0-liters in its front-mounted V10, sending over 500 hp down to a transmission fitted between towards the back for optimal weight balance.

Yawn.... last year they showed a LFA coupe and this year a cab.

Just focus on the bloody production car.

The headlights scream "animé" to me.

Wow, not bad! I'm even surprised that the exaust doesn't bother me as much as I would think. Finally a nice sports car from lexus

pretty nice... i dont like how the upper air ducts in the rear have no purpose since its a front mounted engine. the plastic mesh on the back end is also a little bleh...

I wanna see the production model too, but at least we know they are making a roadster version too. It looks AMAZING. I think it's great they showed it in Red because now we can understand the lines more than before. Everything looks so much better for some reason.

I wouldnt change much except the exhausts. I'm not a fan of 3 pipes, I'd rather see exhausts at the far ends of the bumper. Maybe even quads. Anyway, well done Lexus!
