This would make the current GT-R obsolete.

We're Lexus enthusiasts here, we know what models are which. Feel free to call them Celsior, Soarer, Harrier, Windom, Altezza, what have you.

Well done Split fire, your powers of deduction are incredible and I have a AS300 BTW. Here I will explain it to you, see the the "H13" and "H14" beside the car in the link, that means year model "H13 , 2001" and "H14 ,2002". So yes there were 3.0L Altezza's in Japan. Here you go, some links for you. http://cartown.jp/clist2.php?makerco...B8%A1%BC%A5%BF

As for it being faster than the GTR, maybe you could tell me? B/c if I wanted a fast car I would have bought a GT2, but I like giving my wife something that she can drive, so I will continue to wait for the LF-A .

If all these internet rumors are true it's got a shot of 0-60 around 3.0s
and a top speed of well over 200mph. Wow!

With the way Nissan has finessed the tranny, suspension, and gearing of the regular (if you can call it that) GT-R... 3 sec flat may happen.

3 sec flat is definately not out of the question.Question is, can it go under 3?

Porsche, Ferrari, Lambo needs to see what's coming and start doing something badly and quickly.

I think if this 7.25s is to be believed, then the 7.24 of the Lexus LF-A shouldn't be too hard to swallow either. That being said, I hope the lot of you realise the V-spec should reach, if not Surpass the $100k mark.

Don't think Lexus will have to go back to any drawing board.


Just saying
