Green Peace Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I was wondering about this myself...I have been reading Autocar and a few other mags purposely looking out for it...(not that I could afford one obviously or even want one)..but I thought they said it was going to be launched at the end of 2005...or did I hear wrong?

paul_k Posted January 8, 2006 Author Share Posted January 8, 2006 I had heard 2007 would be the launch date but nothing official yet from Lexus, other than the concept is shown on Lexus.com and the chicago show was the unvailing to the public.Engine is a 5 litre V10 non turbo front mounted with over 500 hp and £80,000 has been talked about...

Paul Its odd Coz I actually really hated it when I first saw the pictures...and i just been looking a year on..and its growing on me like a fungus he he. Toyota have got this habit of predicting whats going to look good ahead of time..they did it with the MR2 (well the mk2) and the Supra...I think by the time its launched it will look 'right' But this isn't a Supra replacement..as Auto Express wanted us to believe...its more a replacement for The Soarer...I wanna see a new Supra (and win the Lottery so I can buy one ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first saw it I was really disappointed but looking at those pictures I really starting to like it.

Tricky-Ricky Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Hope they go ahead with it! just need a lottery win to buy one:faint: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Apparently thats where the rads for the car are............. looking at the front that would make sense. An engine that big isnt going to get enough airflow through the front intakes. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 if its front engined why has it got a huge great fan just below the rear light cluster?
