http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/10/lexus-lfa-ring-prod.jpg (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/10/08/video-production-spec-lexus-lf-a-opens-the-taps-outside-the-ri/#continued)The Lexus LF-A (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/LexusLFA/) supercar has been a long time coming and Toyota has finally confirmed (in an ambiguous press release) that the production version is headed to the Tokyo Motor Show (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/TokyoMotorShow/) next month. The LF-A (or LF-L) (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/08/17/the-l-word-lexus-to-rename-lf-a-supercar-as-lf-l/) is a lock for production and rumors have the Japanese supercar going on sale in the UK as early as this month (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/18/spy-shots-lexus-lf-a-back-on-ring-wearing-white/). Lending more credence to its imminent arrival: a new video of the LF-A leaving a gas station outside the Nurburgring.
Joining a pre-production camo-clad mule is a white LF-A cloaked in a minimal amount of detail obscuring taping, and as the near production version heads out slowly from the lot, the lucky driver quickly gets on the go pedal, with the rev-happy 550 hp V10 powerplant letting out a series of F1-style cries. It's definitely worth your time, especially if you've got the speakers to appreciate the sound of Toyota's first exotic powertrain. Make the jump (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/10/08/video-production-spec-lexus-lf-a-opens-the-taps-outside-the-ri/#continued) to check out the video and Toyota's release.
