Lexus's LF-A supercar finally breaks cover

Toyota is very serious about it's new Lexus LF-A exotic V10 super duper car. It officially debuted at this year's Tokyo auto show today. And tomorrow morning, courtesy of Lexus Canada, I'll be just southwest of Miami to briefly drive production prototypes around the Homestead-Miami race course.

You'll get my driving impressions afterwards. But for now, here's some initial specs (560 hp, 354 lb-ft,  4.8-litre, V10; six-speed sequential gearbox; 0-100 km/h = 3.7 seconds; top speed = 325 km/h; 500 copies) still shots of the car, as well as videos of various LF-As lapping various tracks around the world.

Wow, this is a video game car. Even the new Mercedes isn't as nice as the 3? year old R8. This is an ugly car.
