Toyota's own driver did an astounding 7:30 with traffic (remember, zr1 and gtr are times were done without traffic and track closed). He said it could easily do a 7:24 without traffic. Making it one of the fastest production cars on the nurb.

A Toyota for +$300,000 with no jaw dropping effect. It seems to me like the GT-R can perform as well if not better and for a lot less money. From an aesthetic perspective, both are on par with each other; nothing to brag about. A lot of the technology is derived from the F1 program but still is years behind the Ferraris or Lambos that have been producing super cars for decades. FERRARI will always be the standard in this segment.

This car is suppose to compete with the 599 GTB and Mercedes SLR mclaren. It does 0-60 in 3.7 seconds and has launch control so it can do it in lower times. It is a 65 percent carbon structure and 35 percent aluminum. It does 202 mph. it has over 550 hp. it has the most expensive interior material that u can buy in a Supercar (alcantara). only 500 are being made and everything is built IN HOUSE. So why isn't it a supercar again? compared to the competitor, this may seem like a bargain.

Toyota even admits that they will lose money on every single one they will sell. But they don't care because this is there halo cars and will pave a road for new technology. So lets put this all together. 500x375k is about 187k. So that still doesnt cover the R an D costs of this vehicle. toyota even developed a worlds first carbon fiber shape weaver that will weave every body panel of this lexus into shape. Did toyota just find a cheaper way to produce Carbon fiber...YES!

I can list you so many things that u don't know about this car and why it is so much better than the ZR1. ZR1 and GTR are in their own class...budget supercars.

It isn't hype. I'm just saying that it's foolish to compare 2 cars that are specified for different markets. The ZR1 may be faster performance wise,but it does not provide the quality that a Lexus(Toyota) offers,nor does it give the alluring V10 sound that the LFA makes. And for the record,talking about someone's privates is more disgusting and immature than the 'hype' that you speak of. Have a nice day.
@normalais14 жыл бұрын
toyota will lose money on every LFA they'll sell. Because they made this car not to make a affordable supercar, but to test new technologies. they don't give a crap if you think it is too expensive. at 500 made, you most likely wouldn't get one even if you had the money and you wanted one

It's nearly 200 hp more powerful than the standard GT-R,yet it runs 7.26.4,about the 0.7 seconds faster than the 2010 standard GT-R. 0.7!!! If you're proud of that,let Nissan build the high performance model which comes out next year,and we'll see who's gonna have the last laugh.

The closer I look at it the more I dislike it. It looks a mess. The front is just mish mash of silly shapes and confusing lines It has no coherent design direction. Whats even more un believable is how spectacularly they messed it up after making two gorgeous concept cars that were universally well recieved. Urgh. And the price? I know lexus are ambitious and everyhing but this is just silly. An ugly car that costs the same price as two murcialagos, and is slower. What are Lexus thinking?
