The top secret Top Secret LF-A that doesn’t exist
Written by admin on May 17, 2008 – 2:20 am -
Created by Jon Sibal, the car is an LF-A with some “Nagata san flavor,” customized graphics, and a hunger for the 400 km/hr mark. We’ll take it standing still. We don’t know how many more people will need to nudge Toyota before the company will give us a sports car again. But if Toyota asked itself “What kind of bada** statement can we make to get back into the sports car game?”, this kind of car could the answer. Toyota? Anyone?
Thanks for the tip, Michael!

Lexus Performance Driving School: Dates are available and the price is right
Written by admin on May 10, 2008 – 4:11 pm -
The introduction of the IS F proved that Lexus was serious about taking on its Germanic counterparts, but it’s taking another page out of the BMW and Audi playbook by beginning to offer a high-performance driving experience to prospective owners. The Lexus Performance Driving Academy has announced dates and locations for 2008, giving attendees a choice of two courses to suit their needs and pocketbooks.
The first course consists of a two-hour session that puts you behind the wheel of the IS250, IS350, GS460, GS450h and the IS F. These basic sessions are available on Saturday and Sunday and here’s the kicker: it’s free. If you’re willing to take a Friday off, you can upgrade to the “Ultimate” session that puts you behind the wheel of the IS F for a half-day, and includes your basic chalk talk (racing lines, grip dynamics, etc.), a team time attack, timed autocross session and a lead/follow exercise around the racetrack. Not a bad deal for $295.
Four tracks are available, including the Autobahn Circuit in Joliet, Illinois; the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California; the Summit Point Motorsports Park in West Virginia; and the Atlanta Motor Speedway, in Hampton, Georgia. You can head over to the Lexus Performance Driving Academy website for all the details.
