Tokyo Motorshow 2009 Lexus LFA

On the last day of Oct I went to the Tokyo Motorshow 2009.
There're lots of pics to post from there, but I wanted to start it with the prime focus of the day, the Lexus LFA.

Some quick facts about the car:
- Loaded with 4.8L V10 engine.
- Only 500 units will be built.
- Price is around USD 350,000.
- Lexus' first supercar (on par with McLaren Mercedes SLR, Ferrari etc).

This Lexus LFA was the main attraction in the motorshow along with it's "cousin" Toyota FT-86 Concept. Both cars are placed at the prime location in the centre hall (the biggest) and naturally, crowded with people who wanted to have a peek at these dream cars.
Unlike other brands, Toyota do not need to hire pretty models to pose beside the cars, as the cars are sexy enough to attract people lol.

OK, front shots of the Lexus LFA.

Phew...... that sums up of the many Lexus LFA pics I took from the motorshow. It is the car which drained most of my camera's memory heh.

Anyway, here's the video presentation shown during the motorshow. Feel the energy of the car....
