Some what look like a supra
Posted via RS Mobile

Sounds epic, can't wait to read more about this car.

I absolutely love this video

it sounds just like their f1 car.

looks great, sounds great and im sure the engineering behind it is amazing too

however i feel like the exterior seems a bit dated (feels more early 2000ish than 2010). The concept looked way nicer

here's the video that has the intro from 2009 tokyo auto show

Pure sex.

damnnn well done lexus for bringing japan back into supercar territory

damnnn looks hot

they were never there
this is the first true japanese supercar IMO

^ Actually NSX was a supercar back in the days, same with the supras. etc etc They were considered "Supercars"

R35 isn't one in your opinion?

I think the Japanese had supercars in the NSX and Skyline but this would be the first Exotic from Japan.

IMO the Supra is was never a supercar, just a wannabe, ala the Corvette.

And how was the Skyline a supercar?

It was a grocery getter Coupe chassis that had a widebody, different suspension, and a bigger motor with 2 turbos + Atessa training wheels just in case.

Super Cars are purpose built as flagship sports cars.

Viper, Corvette, FD RX-7's, MK4 Supra, 300zx, NSX. The JDM "Supercars" never really stood out as "supercars". They're fast, but by no means a "super car"

GT-R's are classed like the EVO/STi. An otherwise grocery getter Chassis with a bigger motor with turbo(s), different suspension, and a widebody.

This is why the Z is, has, and always will be the Nissan Flagship car. GT-R fanboiz can hate, but it's the truth.

JDM land had thier Flagship sports cars, but This is by true definition, a Super Car.

+1

I think the NSX is considered a Supercar back in its time. The Skyline and Supra are not really a supercar, but its pretty high up there. EVO/STI are just rally inspired family Sedans. The Z has always been, and always will be, the Nissan sport coupe for the every man, I wont call it the flagship car. The GTR would be the flagship sport coupe, now.

I understand your viewpoint because JDM-land never really made many things to rival the big V8 powered Europeans and Americans. Only recently did Lexus tried with the IS-F, now with this LF-A. Which still strikes me as out of the norm for Lexus, their V8s were usually smooth as butter and tuned for comfort.
