Pricing is expected to exceed $100,000.

In 2007, Lexus GB director Steve Settle confirmed that both a V10 and [[Hybrid Car|hybrid]] version of the LF-A would be produced. The hybrid version, combining a petrol engine with electric motors, would likely feature a [[V8]] powertrain similar to that designed for the Lexus LS 600h L.

==Generations==
===LF-A I (2005)===

===LF-A II (2007)===
The second LF-A premiered two years after the first, in 2007, alongside the IS-F. This restyled version of the LF-A was said to be 'much closer to a production' model, and was a prospective member of the Lexus F-Sport lineup. The second version of the LF-A had more rounded contours, and restyled front end, side panels, and rear deckline.
