New pictures: Lexus LF-H spied

The Lexus LF-A concept car has made a public appearance at the Tokyo Motor Show and elsewhere. However, while the shiny display model was on the Lexus stand, a black-clad prototype has been in testing since April.

These latest photos show engineers putting the car through the paces at Germany's Nurburgring circuit. The car's complete roofline is now visible, and we expect more camo will be dropped in the coming months.

Toyota officials let slip in Tokyo that the production car, likely to be called the LF-H, is going to have a V10 engine, developed from the engines in Toyota's F1 cars, which is thought to develop over 500 hp. Although the engine is front- rather than mid-mounted, the LF-H will be rear-wheel drive, and Lexus has promised "the ultimate weight balance," "extravagant comfort" and "precision operation." The LF-H hasn't yet been confirmed for production, but the continued and sustained testing of prototypes suggests that it's a pretty definite contender.

Report: Toyota to revive Supra with hybrid sports car

Japan's No. 1 automaker is planning a Toyota-branded version of forthcoming Lexus LF-A supercar (pictured) as a successor to the popular Supra sports car, according to a new report by the U.K.'s AutoExpress magazine. The car will reportedly feature a modified version of the 341 horsepower 3.5-liter V6 hybrid found in the Lexus GS450h.

The rumors directly contradict a report from August by trade publication Automotive News indicating there would be no successor to the Supra. At the time, the news organization said "all the rumors of the two-passenger sports car's return are false."

The AE report does not specifically say if the car will use the Supra nameplate, but it suggests a concept will appear at the Detroit auto show in January. In late August, Autocar said Toyota would build a hybrid version of the LF-A in addition to the widely expected V10 model.

by the looks of it I would think it was a Infinit g35 coupe competitor, but I guess it's whats underneath that matters.

Nonetheless looks pretty nice and sporty, where is BMW and MB??

BMW Z8 coupe / 8er is coming (back). Also in M version, so ...

Do not panic!

MB gave us the SLR a few years ago and doesn't unlike Audi and Lexus, have anything to prove.
Either way I'm really curious to see what Lexus has planned for us. I hope that the car won't have the same head lights as the concept. I don't like them at all.

The SLR was also way more expensive, about $350K more than the R8, I thought this Lexus was in the same range as the R8, an attainable supercar of sorts.
