Claus Ettensberger, architect of CEC and the guy who was the aboriginal to get a dispatch admission in the Lexus, said: "We looked at the LFA and what Lexus engineers had done, and knew it would be crazy to try and advance it from a achievement or engineering standpoint."
Prior to the launch of LF-A Lexus had a market image of producing top notch, premium luxury cars, but with its launch the company is trying to change its perception and also aims to grow its market by producing powerful and beautiful supercars for its customers.
The running variant of the LF-A is powered by a high-revving 500-plus horsepower V10 engine, a specification which puts LF-A in the same league with other gargantuan like Ferrari and Lamborghini. In its concept version the car measured 5 inches shorter than the Porsche 911, yet provided a wheelbase that is 9 inches longer than the 911, an indicator of better ride quality and good control.
