Main peculiarity: cameras instead of side-view mirrors;

Type: exotic car and open top.

Lexus LF-A roadster

The Lexus LF-A is a high-performance roadster and what I like the most about it, its really bright and deep red colour. The body of this roadster is a  lightweight carbon-fiber and aluminum one, previously used for the LF-A coupe, it helps to retain rigidity when without a top.

The car is powered by a high-revving V10 engine (under 5.0-liters), possesses sequential manual transmission, and boasts more than 500 with top speed more than 200 mph. The Lexus LF-A perfectly reflects all the basics of the L-Finesse design philosophy, thus, offering rather low-profile, compact and aerodynamic shape. The car stands 48 inches tall and has a speed adaptive rear wing.

There are special large grilles on the rear of the car. These grilles vent the heated air from the car’s radiators. The designers and engineers made this car a real road monster with an overall length of 175.6 inches and a wheelbase of 102.6 inches. The first name of this car  sounded like “Circle-F,” with the “F” standing for “flagship”, then were the code name Flagship One,  F1, and only later there was made a conclusion about Lexus LF-A.

    That’s a big car for a two-seater. Those look like 24-inch wheels.

    It is very stylish.
