You may recognize this car form back in 2005 at the Detroit Auto Show, where Toyota’s Jim Press unveiled the Lexus LF-A. It was, at the time, truly a concept car.

The LF-A is rumored to have a V-10 5L engine and be able to pump out 500 horsepower and its sleek design helps it reach a top speed of 200mph.

It will be competing with the Lamborghini Gallardo and Porsche Carrera GT. But don’t be getting too worked up about it just yet, its estimated price will be over $100,000 and wont even be in production until sometime in 2008-2009; that is if they get the green light.
