Lexus demo’d their concept LF-A sports car at the 2005 NAIAS.
Rumored to output 500 hp from a 5.0 liter V10 & cost $100K. Some competition for the 415 hp Porsche 911 Turbo and 490 hp Ferrari F430 … if not in the category of looks.
“Over the last two years, a new styling philosophy that we call L-Finesse, has taken shape at Lexus Design,” said Wahei Hirai, Toyota Motor Corporation’s global managing officer of design. “What has emerged from this two-year journey is not just a new direction in philosophy. It is a new design language, based on the dynamism and inherent contrast between simplicity and elegance.”

I wouldn’t have thought Lexus would even need a new design language, but the LF-A is gorgeous indeed.
