This kind of attitude makes me sad. Hopefully a more enthusiastic response will come from the higher up in Toyota. Mr. Toyoda, are you not excited about the prospect of putting this beast into production and realize your vision of making Lexus a true premium brand?

Why would Akio say that when Toyota was responsible for setting this up? Did you know TMG also had part in the LFA? Gazoo racing's Nurburgring efforts? The TS030 Hybrid LMP1? Come on now, guys. This may be just a experiment (for now) but it's a start.

when I first saw the pics a while back I thought it was an engineering exercise. Finally they are going to step up to AMG. They dominate the American luxury car segment but had nothing stratospheric to run with the hardcore AMG and larger M vehicles. BRING IT !!!
