Detroit 2008: Lexus LF-A

The one thing that a 200-plus-mph car needs is a roof -- or not. This is the LF-A Roadster, a drop-top version of Lexus' 500-horsepower V-10 supercar proposal that, for a fast car, is taking its own sweet time coming to market. If the car were to reach the market in anything like this configuration, it would be the fastest convertible in the world, even faster than the Mercedes-McLaren SLR Roadster.
