Here is some apparent proof that Lexus has a sense of humor, or at least engages in not-entirely-serious behavior.
Everyone knows that the LFA first appeared at the 2005 Detroit auto show (as the LF-A concept), right? True. But two years earlier at the 2003 Tokyo auto show, the company commissioned three pieces of art that contained within them representations of the exhaust manifold and throttle body of the LFA which had already been in development for three years at that point. Sneaky.
Where would one find such information? Have a look at the Lexus configurator site we pointed you to a post or two ago, and click "MILESTONES" for the full rundown of the decade-long LFA development.

It's interesting that it's been 4 years since the LFA was first introduced.
