Lexus LFA

The Japanese automaker really made quite an impression with the LFA supercar back when it was first unveiled in 2010.
It was only limited to 500 examples and when production ended in 2012, it culminated a two-year run for the supercar that was as surprising as it was remarkable. During its run, the LFA was considered one of the top supercars.
Rightfully so, too, because this veritable beast on wheels came with a 4.8-liter V-10 that delivered 560 horsepower at 9,000 rpm and a peak torque of 354 pound-feet at 6,800 rpm.
As a result of this mammoth output, the LFA could sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds and hit a top speed of 202 mph.

this is getting ridiculous. A successor to the Lexus LFA  has been a heated topic largely because everybody seems to have an opinion on whether Lexus is planning one or not. A few weeks ago,  Lexus Executive Vice President Mark Templin told Automotive News that Toyota President Akio Toyota wants to build an LFA for this generation of vehicles.
But now, Yukihiko Yaguchi, the chief engineer of Lexus’ RC F program, told CarAdvice at the launch of the RC F  in New York last week that there are no active plans to build a successor to the LFA.
So who do we believe now?
If we’re basing it on hierarchy, Templin’s statement might have more weight to it, and let’s be honest, we want to believe the guy because he’s the one who said that an LFA supercar successor is going to happen!
Is it possible that Yaguchi, whose statements were said via an interpreter, may have been misquoted? I personally don’t know and I’d like to believe that our colleagues at CarAdvice vetted that information before posting it.
