2012 Lexus LFA Metro Detroit, MI

Oct. 26, 2010 - PRLog -- The design of a Lexus expresses the exterior modeling and interior concepts based on ‘L-finesse,’ which stands for our ‘Leading edge-finesse’ philosophy.

For the 2012 Lexus LFA (http://www.lexusoflakeside.com/NewModelsPage), this represents not just one of the styling elements but was expanded to an even more dynamic aspect.

Lexus LFA Exterior
Leading edge: a combination of a state-of-the-art CFRP body and a unique package layout that features a front mid-engine, rear transaxle, and rear radiator. Finesse: a beauty that arises in the sublimation of the pursuit for a shape that optimizes air resistance and such air management as the influx/outflux of cooling air. The exterior design was developed with the aim of uniquely integrating these two components.

Meade Lexus of Lakeside (http://www.lexusoflakeside.com) hopes customers enjoy the design achievable only with a resin molded body, such as the finest of intakes, the front and rear ends that increase downforce, and the interplay of these elements with the body.

Lexus LFA Interior
The same can be seen in the interior. Opening the LFA doors reveals a dramatic low-slung cockpit that has been intelligently designed and hand assembled with the finest materials to reflect the car’s driver centric dynamics.  A sophisticated instrumentation interface brings driver and machine together for a true supercar experience. The advanced technology of the LFA’s hooded instrument panel enables it to deliver an exceptionally high level of information to the driver in a clear and logical manner. It combines a dramatic Liquid Crystal Display panel with a color Thin Film Transistor and a motor-driven movable ring. The acrylic lens in the metal ring is composed of multiple layers to create an advanced, three-dimensional appearance, and the overall appearance of the meter changes according to the vehicle’s mode.

Lexus LFA Hand Craftsmanship
Each Lexus LFA is hand built by a team of skilled craftsmen and is affixed with a special placard that shows its sequence number among the 500 units to be built. And in keeping with the Lexus LFA’s bespoke nature, each V10 engine will be hand-assembled by a single engineer and a metallic label bearing his signature will be attached to the left cylinder head of each engine. The LFA will be produced at a maximum rate of only 20 per month.

Lexus hopes the whole atmosphere of the LFA creates an extraordinary experience from the moment one grips the steering wheel. As chief engineer Haruhiko Tanahashi puts it, “the LFA is designed to make the most of every moment each customer spends in its company, promising instants of sheer driving euphoria…

“While conventional passenger cars focus on getting there, the LFA is all about the journey.”
