Lexus LFA Roadster Off the Table - Latest Cars 2013

Toyota has spent big money developing carbon-fiber construction methods for the Lexus LFA. Now it's looking at using the material in more commonplace cars, but an LFA Roadster isn't in the cards. When Toyota first opened for business in 1936, it wasn't making cars - it was making looms for spinning fabric. Now it's using looms again in its advanced carbon-fiber manufacturing facility. The factory in Motomachi, Japan, opened in October 2010 with the single purpose of building the Lexus LFA. Rather than outsource the production of the supercar's carbon-intensive construction to an established specialist, Toyota opted to develop the competence in-house at great cost.
