Has there been any information on how much the LF-A weighs?

i like the rear of car. maybe because it seems simple compared to the rest of the car. i think they tried too hard to make the car look aggressive, but i do like those specs to the LF-A . Can't wait to see this get tested haha

i like the interior specially the instrument gauge cluster..... ummmm that's it.

The exterior has too much going on and the front is just not working for me.

I think in trying to make it less bland or more aggressive they sort of made it a bit ugly up front. I like the side profile, the rear looks okay, but the front looks a bit ugly.

The specs look good though and its sounds great. The price is wild, but if they only make 500 it should be very exclusive.

I thought from the thread title that motor oil or coolant was leaking out of the car and proving an embarrassment for Lexus during the show.
