Nice find!

Am I reading this correctly that this race is on the 15th of October? This Saturday?

I really hope so...

im noob, how can i see this car racing? any coverage?


Hachi to the rescue!!!

I'm beginning to think Hachi knows when all of this stuff is going to happen but waits until someone posts it and then...voila! ;)

yes tnx to http://twitter.com/#!/lexus_eu :P

So.... is this car gona be camouflaged?

If so, it will def win by blinding every other racer on the track. (la la la la)

edit:
omg, it looks very sleek and nice but the headlights are -_-

anyways, looking forward to this

That car... I love it. I hope you can buy it in the UK with that body kit....

Seriously, I have the biggest boner right now.

Nice. :)

p.s. Sexy brakes.

:bellyroll:

I have to admit that is one sexy car. :wub:

Just a few details that I think I see correctly but this car is a hatchback; notice the lack of the "third brake" light in the rear window plus the tape near the top of the rear glass. Also, they've kept the top bumper/hood dip that the FR-S was sporting which is one of my favorite elements of the design. Not to mention those luscious wheels it's rolling on - can anyone identify them?

I think the Subaru is going to be the more stately and subtle car between the sisters with the Toyota/Scion being the smoking-hot, flashier one.

Wow that looks hot. Even with the camo.

Very exciting!! I'm anxious for the subaru version to come out.

Holy F'K!!!!!!!!!!! Dr.Bez from Aston Martin is gonna be piloting the LFA with Toyoda?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! :O

Doesn't look like much of any track modifications are done, possibly suspension. Of course tires and the wing. Other than that, looks looks stock. It's got a cage in it.

I am looking forward to seeing this. No better way to introduce a sports car than to actually race it.
