Lexus unveiled this concept at the 2005 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS). This two-seater is a fusion of great performance and impressive luxury. Its design shows a new direction of other future cars made by Lexus. The construction and design came from F1 Toyota workshop, where they work with such ingredients as speed, agility, maneuverability and reliability to conquer strong competitors like Mercedes SL 55, Porsche 911 Turbo, Aston Martin DB7 or Ferrari F 430.
Currently only a concept, it is a realistic vision of how we might address the boundaries that define the exotic sports car landscape, 'said Jim Press, Toyota Motor Sales executive vice president and COO.
The heart of Lexus is a petrol engine with more than 500hp. In regard of the fact that the engine has less than 5 liters, it’s very nice result – more than 100hp per liter. Together with an excellent transmission, weight distribution and perfect aerodynamics is no problem to reach 322 km/h (200mph).
As we said before, this car has been constructed together with engineers working with modern F1 technologies. So also many elements and parts from F1 are used also in the case of this Lexus.
