Awesome, do you know when it will be released? I assume the LFA-R will be part of the 500 limit for production, or will it have it's own separate limit?

The amount of intangibles, details, and innovations in this car is truly mind-boggling! Lexus was not kidding when they initially stated this was a "revolutionary" supercar.

Some previews/reviews so far have said the car is more stable and predictable at speeds over 170 mph than a Porsche or Ferrari!

If I had the money, I would buy the car for the engine response and sound alone! It's as close as you can get to an F1 engine without actually piloting a real F1 car .

imagine nissan building a $375k car? it would probably destroy every car in the planet.


I think GTR spoiled me.

If a Bugatti costs 2 Million, or a Koenigsegg CCX cost over 500K USD, then I expect them to be able to fly, and to travel back in time .

Imagine this, imagine that. If, but, and, only.

The fact is, LEXUS has made a "375K" exotic supercar, and Nissan has NOT. When and if Nissan makes one, we will talk.

Prepare for the onslaught of direct comparisons to the mighty GT-R or even a $100k ZR-1 as they have set the precedence for performance cars lately: Sports, Super AND Exotic.

I highly disagree, and so do a lot of exotic and supercar buyers. Veyron owners will laugh at you if you ever make a GT-R or ZR-1 comparison. Even Pagani Zonda or Carrera GT owners will laugh. So to will actual LFA owners laugh at such comparisons.

Let me paint a picture: the GT-R and ZR-1 were designed with strict time AND budget limitations.

The Veyron project had NO budget and NO time limitations. The LFA also had NO time and NO budget limitations. The only limitations the LFA project had were that of the engineers' imaginations, just like the Veyron.
