Toyota Motor Corporation is set to give the production version of the long awaited Lexus LFA supercar its debut at the Tokyo Motor Show later this month.

Despite the heavy price tag, Lexus still expects to make a loss on the LFA!

The V10 engine will be mated to a six-speed ASG transmission with four driving modes and a seven-stage shift-speed selector. Stopping the car will be high-performance carbon ceramic (CCM) brake discs and an electronically controlled braking system.
