Lexus LF-A Continues Nürburgring Testing

Regardless of the rumor Autoblog was circulating about the Lexus LF-A’s demise, prototype testing is still ongoing at Nürburgring, and Motor Authority has the photos to prove it. Here’s a sampling:


Nothing we haven’t seen before, though I can never pass up the chance to post matte black paint jobs. That last photo is curious, why the debadged IS-F?
Check out this photo up close along with a few more over at Motor Authority (and be sure to compliment them on their new design!).

There are also 3 holes in the bottom of the IS-F bumper, and what appears to be trunk latches holding the trunk shut on either side. Also, a roll cage inside. All three items are seen much easier on the MA website w/ larger photos. Lightweight IS-F? It needs to shave a few pounds!

Good catch, Brendan. I did see the rollbar, but missed the trunk latches. I had a feeling it was probably a retooled engine in testing.
