Why can't Lexus make a cheap LFA?
#47
CPO 991.1 Turbo S can go for $130k. I'd rather have the 991.2 of course, but they are going for $200k new.

Well, a "regular" Turbo can probably whoop on the LFA pretty easily too...not to mention the GT3 and other variants of the 911. Porsches tend to be reliable but expensive to maintain.

Let's compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges here. Very few people, if any, cross shop GTRs and LFAs.... nothing nice nor rare about a gtr but it's speed and power....that's where it ends. LFA and GTR aren't even comparable in any other way.
no one has to pay 100k for crazy fast speed on the streets. An $8k gsxr and $8k of work done to it will murder any modded GT-R...and at about 1/10th of the cost.... That's about as fair as a comparison as the GT-R vs LFA.
As for Porsche vehicles, I can't speak on them. Tend not to pay much attention to them because they all look the same.

They will when its time. Currently the LC and LS are the first to adopt the new GA-L platform architecture. At least for the 5LS, it lost 200lbs vs the 4LS. IS, RC, and GS will follow when next generations are ready to debut. This year the 2018 RC will receive its mid cycle refresh along with the NX. Expect to see standard SS+, a revised front and rear fascia + headlamps/tail-lamps. Interior refinements like from the 2017 IS including the new 10.3" screen, and the revised remote touch 2.0 from the LC. The suspension like the NX will likely benefit from a revised AVS set-up to improve stability, handling, and NVH. On the NX it will be up from 30 to 650 instantaneous compression and dampening adjustments (up from 30) like on the new LC. I wouldn't expect a new RC until 2020/21.
