Lexus LFA
Making its European debut at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show, The Lexus LF-A Roadster is the latest, open-topped version of the company’s ground-breaking LF-A sports car concept. The LF-A followed the LF-S, LF-X and LF-C vehicles as the fourth successive LF concept car to reflect the tenets of Lexus’ unique, L-finesse design philosophy, the principals of which have subsequently been realised in the latest GS, IS and LS model ranges. A development of the second generation LF-A coupe which was first unveiled at the 2007 Geneva Motor Show, the new Roadster further reflects the genesis of the Lexus ‘F’ designation; an ultra-high performance Sports range for the premium automotive segment.
Combining the cutting-edge technology and luxury refinements appropriate to the brand with the ultra-high performance and outstanding driving dynamics of an open-topped, twoseater sportscar, the LF-A Roadster is more than merely a radical statement of supercar performance. Incorporating the very latest developments in precision high-performance engineering technology with the core values of the L-finesse design philosophy, the Lexus F-Sports special vehicle programme has realised a fundamental reappraisal of both styling and engineering in supercar design, which redefines the boundaries of the ultrahigh performance sportscar landscape.
