A review of the 2010 Lexus LFA sports has been posted over at InsideLine.com. 'For a car that is yet to be launched, the 2010 Lexus LFA has had an extraordinary number of face-lifts. First it was a front-engine coupe and then it became a convertible. First it was built in aluminum, then later in carbon-fiber. The engine was to be a V10 derived from Toyota's Formula 1 engine, but then the F1 rules changed to specify V8s and we wondered if the LFA's engine would change, too. The final solution is a front-engine coupe built around a carbon-fiber monocoque and dressed with carbon-fiber body panels. This latest styling iteration has moved on significantly from the last showcar, and it's meant to be far more dramatic. "We wanted the front half to have a face and to have a distinctive character," says LFA Chief Engineer Haruhiko Tanahashi. "It needed to make a very strong statement and be recognizable as an LFA even from 100 meters away."
