Lexus LFA: First production LFA in the UK at Goodwood

The Lexus LFA turns up at the Goodwood Supercar Sunday Breakfast Club The Lexus LFA hasn’t had an easy gestation. Half a generation from the promise to the reality, and endless hiccups with lease and buy-back plans in the US – where Lexus initially refused to sell the LFA – meant many of the headlines were less than positive. Which is a real shame.

2012 Mercedes SLK55 WILL get 5.5 litre V8

2012 Mercedes SLK55 to get naturally aspirated 5.5 litre V8 (2011 SLK photo) You never really know until it’s officially announced, but we did expect the 2012 Mercedes SLK55 to get the new 5.5 litre V8. When Mercedes revealed the new SLK back in January, we knew there were still two more versions to come for 2012 – the SLK55 and the Diesel SLK – and that we’d get the official details later. Well, now it’s later – at least for the SLK55.

Lexus RC F, RC F Sport & RC F GT3 debut at Geneva Motor Show

The Lexus RC (pictrured) will be joined by the RC F Sport and RC F GT3 at Geneva The Lexus RC F Coupe finally got a reveal at the Detroit Motor Show last month, and it’s going to get its European debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month alongside another new Lexus – the Lexus RC F GT3. The new RC F looks a promising challenger to cars like the new BMW M4 or the Audi RS 5, with decent looks and the promise of impressive performance from its V8 which develops more than 450bhp. Lexus want us to think that a lot of the RC F’s dynamics are taken from the DNA of the LFA, and if that’s the case the Germans could finally have real competition on their hands from Lexus.
