2011 Lexus LF-A, Toyota's first attempt at a 500-HP supercar is on schedule and headed for the United States. Akio Toyoda, the new president of Toyota Motors has been championing the development of the said supercar, a project that started way back in 2002. It was also reported that he himself drove one of its prototypes during the 2009 Nürburgring race and while they ran into a few mechanical difficulties, which did not allow them to complete the race, they reported that the LF-A ran thirty seconds per lap faster than the already quick Aston Martin V12 Vantage RS, a car which competed in the same category as the LF-A.

Things seem to be looking up for the world's largest automaker with the leadership of the grandson of its founder. Along with the LF-A, Toyoda reconfirmed that another much-awaited vehicle from Toyota, an affordable sportscar which will be made in partnership with Subaru will make its way to the United States in just a few years.
