350 lb-ft of Torque seems alright.
I usually convert ENGINE torque output figures from lb-ft into kgm.
In my opionion for N/A engines only, a 1.8L should produce around 18kgm (~130lb-ft). A 5.0L should have 50kgm (~362lb-ft)
This is a N/A 4.8L, so it should have 48kgm, but it has 48.4kgm.
Just my opionion.

how?
Testarossa: Mid engine, Flat-12
LF-A: Front engine, V-10
and the overall shape is quite different

Ouch...375k! That's getting into some really rare territory for cars - essentially Mucielago, McLaren SLR, Carrera GT costs.
I know it's going to be an awesome car but to put that in perspective, that's a price of a new Ferrari F458 with 570 hp plus a new Porsche GT3 RS...

Automakers always "say" they are going to make this a limited model but then turns around and make it a mass production platform.
EVO was supposed to be a 1500 cars deal back in the days. EVOX is unlimited production model.
Same goes for STi, GTR and all that crap.
The least you can expect is there will be another batch for the open top models.

The Lexus wont catch on fire.
One the the most reliable auto makers just made a Supercar guys. I think this car is worth checking out.
With the FT-86 concept out, and the LFA available for purchase, I have my fingers crossed that Toyota/Lexus is comming back with sports cars.
I'm waiting for the next SC/Supra.

Yet a lot of people would buy a Toyota over a VW, oh, the irony.
