More spy shots of the anxiously awaited Lexus LF-A and this time it’s lacking the camouflage choosing instead to appear in Matte Black, exposing more details of the car.

Caught at the Nurburgring again, the LF-A sports very sharp contours up front, giving it a very edgy, dynamic, tuner like look. But not everything is visible, some black tape is still used to mask details around the lighting, but the three-sectioned grille, front spoiler, hood vents, and new mirrors are perfectly visible.

At the sides, steep side sills lead to the air intakes which merge quite well with the rear wheel wells. And at the rear, the entire fascia seems production ready, especially the way the tri-exhaust pipes are shaped to seem as if they are incorporated into the rear diffuser. These spy shots also give us the clearest view of the rear LED lights, although still partially covered.

As mentioned before, the LF-A could be powered by a 600-horsepower 4.8-liter V10 engine and will make it’s debut at next month’s Tokyo Motor Show. Zerotohundred will be on hand at the show to bring you live coverage of this car and all the rest.

Its a front engine or mid engined? Looks like a mid engine. The front hood vents are for radiator? The rear exit is for engine? Look pretty good at side profile. So so in the front and rear. Wait for final product to judge.

An FR is it? Well i wonder why there are so many intakes for the rear and also big vents. Such designs usually are made for mid engined car. Oh well, maybe its part of the disguise or something.

Well Mr Sta, firstly if you hate LFA, just say you hate LFA. Don't ask for opinions. Unless you want to like it. I'm sure you are fence sitter. Once this thing is proven somewhere, i'm sure you would change colors again.

I do not think this would be priced like a Lambo or Ferrari. There is no clear indication what this car is targeted at. I'm more interested at those design bits that doesn't seem to work like it was designed for.

i think the this lfa is much better than the one they first introduced.
in terms of the look of course. the front bumper make the car look more cool and it reminds me of Supra. i think lexus make a good super/sport car that succeed supra.

dont really care much bout the results against gtr. think properly, japan has make 2 supercars that can compete with the westerners~!
good job ...!

netmatrix.. I remember reading it somewhere that the big vent at the back is for 2 big cooling fans located at the rear end of the car.. something similar to what top secret's did to their nardo supra V12... a rear mounted radiator would seems to be the case?

Here is what the Nardo Supra rear radiator looked like
