Lexus are planning to produce more LFAs than the 500 announced. It now seems likely we will see a Lexus LFA Roadster. The Lexus LFA is a very odd car from a company seemingly obsessed with all things ‘Green’, to the point where it finally builds the small Lexus we’ve expected for years and then […]
Lexus CT 200h: The emissions
Lexus has revealed that the CT 200h – the Lexus 1 Series ‘Competitor – will have emissions of just 96g/km and average almost 70mpg. We have to go with the flow on this because, although we have no faith in the assertion that man is responsible for climate change, for as long as Governments penalise and promote […]
Lexus LFA For Sale – even in US
It seems that Lexus has had a change of heart over their insistence that – just in the US – customers would not be allowed to buy the LFA but would instead have to lease it. The argument by Lexus when they announced the Lexus LFA could only be leased in the USA was that […]
Toyota’s Hiromu Naruse dies in LFA Nurburgring accident
Toyota’s Chief Test Driver Hiromu Naruse has been killed after crashing the Lexus LFA Nurburgring he was driving on the 410 near the Nurburgring. Frankly, we’re not too sure of all the details, but it appears that Hiromu Naruse, Toyota’s Chief Test Driver – and Akio Toyoda’s personal driver – has been killed on a […]
Lexus LFA: NOT all sold in the US after all
Despite having claimed earlier this week that it had sold all 500 Lexus LFA supercars, Lexus now say there are still at least 21 available in the USA. Odd. We reported just a few days that Toyota were saying that all 500 Lexus LFA Supercars are sold out. We didn’t make it up – honest guv – […]
Lexus LFA: Sold out or leased out. Depending.
Lexus has revealed that all 500, £336,000 Lexus LFA Supercars have now been sold. Production commences in December and lasts for two years. We scoffed when Lexus told the world it wanted £336,000 for one of the 500 LFA Supercars it intended to build. We scoffed even more when it refused to sell the Lexus […]
Lexus LS adds to Toyota’s recall woes – but only 40 UK cars affected.
Lexus are recalling a total of 11,500 Lexus LS 600h and Lexus LS 460 models to fix a problem with the Variable Gear Ratio Steering (VGRS). Just 40 UK cars affected. They say it never rains but it pours, but for Toyota 2010 has been a Monsoon season seemingly without respite. The massive ‘Throttlegate’ recall […]
Lexus LFA Hybrid in the works?
Lexus look as if they are testing a hybrid version of the Lexus LFA hypercar after spy shots of a camouflaged LFA have surfaced There’s us thinking that the Lexus LFA was a shining beacon of non-hybrid sense in a sea of otherwise total hybrid obsession at Lexus. But even the LFA looks like it […]
Lexus IS F 2010 Updates
Lexus have announced a range of updates for the M3 competing Lexus IS F for the 2010 model year. The Lexus IS F is almost oxymoronic – a high performance Lexus. We do of course now have the Lexus LFA, but that’s a different kettle of fish altogether. No, the Lexus IS F is a […]
Lexus LFA- The Special Edition Nurburgring Package
Lexus has revealed a special edition of the Lexus LFA Supercar – the Nurburgring Package – featuring extra power, big rear wing and super sticky tyres. No word on price. It would be entirely reasonable for you to consider the Lexus LFA a special edition in its own right. After all, there are only ever […]
