The Toyota Motor Corporation with Tokyo motor show, released the concept model of the V type 10 cylinder engine which is loaded onto rec suspension " LF-A ". It does not announce the accurate aerodynamic volume displacement and output yet, but below the aerodynamic volume displacement 5.0L, the highest output 500ps (the 373kW) above. As for bank angle at 72 degrees, as for the LF-A this engine is loaded onto the front.

One Tsuga of the reason which is made the V10, holding down engine length if possible, in order for us to like to designate helicopter loading site as rear side. The heavy engine the front axis compared to could be loaded onto rear by holding down also size of the engine to the V8. Because also smoothness only of the rec suspension is required simultaneously, the V10 whose torque fluctuation is little in the V12 was selected. In order to hold down the wobble turning vibration, you say the mount and the like is improved.

There was also a rumor that you adopt the magnetic valve, but because weight ones ride on, as for adoption you waived. To the last you say by the fact that until recently technology is enhanced, you aim toward high output. The development person in charge of the LF-A, " the firearm without using, being the straight ball ? middle, that you have a match ". By the way, with the screen which is installed in the meeting place it can hear the sound which is in the midst of travelling.

The engine's displacement. It just screwed up the translation of whatever word is there for "aerodynamic".

LF-A vs. next-gen NSX...who will win???

My vote goes to HONDA, but I know Toyota's no slouch either (and lately their cars look nicer.)

I bet the hot-rod version of the GS with that V10 would give the M5 a run for its money. Any bets?

That sounds pretty cool, but I don't much care for asian cars. I would rather just buy a viper. It will probably be cheaper, and faster. Also, the Viper looks much better in my opinion.
