Awesome Lexus

While we weren’t supposed to see it until the 2012 Detroit Auto show, Road & Track accidentally leaked out some images of this gorgeous looking sports coupe. More details to come in January.

Japanese tuning house ASI is reworking the Lexus LX570 and calling it the Invader. The 5.7-liter V8 gets a boost from 380 to 600 hp, as does the car’s suspension, aerodynamics and appearance.

No production plans, but the Lexus hybrid concept bike sounds good: 240 watt electric motor with 25.9 volt lithium battery pack, frame constructed of carbon fiber and 8 speed internal gear system.

Fixed rear spoiler alert! In honor of the legendary 24 hour Nürburgring race, Lexus will create 50 LFA cars with a 562 hp/4.8 liter V10, 0.15 second gear shifts and top speed of 202 mph for the lucky few.

Yamaha and Lexus team up to provide this 3 minute, in-the-cockpit sound recording of the LFA’s luscious 4.8L V10; want more visuals? We’ve embedded a separate Launch film above.

Lexus’ long-awaited LFA supercar is now official: limited to 500 cars, it sports a 4.8 L V10 with 553 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque, 0-62 of 3.7s, 201.94 mph top speed and 65% CF body.

Lexus’ LF-A has finally cracked the 200mph barrier with aerodynamic and engine tweaks, good for 218mph; it’ll have a wider body and aero kit, like the Nurburgring race version above.

The design language for cars is usually hoity-toity marketing speak, but Lexus’ “L-finesse” really comes to life with this gorgeous all-acrylic model of the LF-A supercar. Thanks, R.O.!

While it looks a bit too Corolla-ish for our tastes, Lexus’ HS 250h targets Prius lookie-loos with upscale tastes; it’ll be powered by a 2.4L four cylinder with 187 hp and a CVT transmission.

The 2009 Lexus IS has a slightly restyle grilled, L-shaped backup lights and turn signals on the side mirrors. Internally the IS gets VDIM, a revamped stability control system.
