[FerrariEnzo]

damn.. best sounding toyota XD (or lexus)

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

pff, LFA overated


costs 4 times more than GT rwar yet...the outcome...pff


now keeping my finger crossed and hoping the new NSX project will still be brought upon to the market one day...

Sexiness come with a price you know. ;)

[jackmeister]

you'd expect a sports car that costs 3-4 times as much as the other sports car to go faster than "barely" beating the GTR.

[cdizzle_996]

Put it on a road course..

[barcode]

its a beautiful car.... but i like the GTR better because it cost way cheaper, and by the video the LFA barely got away. spend another $100k on the GTR and i am sure it will smoke that LFA like nothing.

[Qmx323]

jesus

both cars make me cream my shorts

[LowTEC]

anything > GTR, GTR is fugly

[vexor]

At that price i'd rather have the Lambo Gallardo..... looks better, same exhaust note, and slightly cheaper ;)

[Manic!]

anything > GTR, GTR is fugly

Still better looking than the Bugatti.

[JSALES]

:drool

i can put $100,000 into a mid 90's astrovan and it'll smoke the LFA by a longshot and still have $300,000 in the bank, does that mean u'll take the astrovan over the LFA?

my point exactly, hence why i call it weak
anything > GTR, GTR is fugly
indeed, but i dont mind the ass
At that price i'd rather have the Lambo Gallardo..... looks better, same exhaust note, and slightly cheaper ;)
+1
$400 for a lexus with yamaha engine, pfff
Still better looking than the Bugatti.

no one cares to say it, but bugatti is fugly. Ppl just dont say it becuz A it costs 1.5 mill, 2nd it is the fastest production car on earth. so ppl tend to shut their trap

[skylinergtr]

this car better be worth and have the build quality for the price. I was all for the GTR until i heard about the transmission problems. I guess you pay for what you get. They were originally comparing a GTR to a porsche 911 turbo. The 911 turbo was twice the price of the gtr, but they were basically head to head, but you wont see a porsche 911 turbo with transmission problems.

[Kim Jong Un]

I would die laughing if Lexus recall LFA because of sticky pedal.

[FerrariEnzo]

I would die laughing if Lexus recall LFA because of sticky pedal.

haha.. it be one hell of a recall... and to think after the incident, they would roll out a supercar?

[!Aznboi128]

I must say comparing the two both are awesome cars. Most of us would say the GTR would be good enough but the lf-a is exclusive. and THAT is the true meaning of a super car, yes its fast but seeing yourself as the ONLY one. That's epic.

[orgasm_donor]

Is it just me or does the hood of the LFA fit really poorly?
As far as Japanese cars go, you can't really beat a GTR for value.

[twitchyzero]

screw the gallardo ..with 350k GBP that's enough to buy a lp640

If you watched Top Gear Richard Hammond would explain to you that it's a "special intake" in a very Hammond way.

You do realize that some of the best motors that Toyota has made had some help from Yamaha right?

1JZ, 3SGTE, 2ZZ etc.

1JZ spawned the 2JZ, but they still made the 1J along with the 2J. Similar block, different heads, different displacement. Both came with VVT-i after 97. The 1J/2J are also Iconic motors all around the world. Straight 6 twin turbo, and they make ridiculous amounts of power when modified on a stock block/head,

3SGTE. I don't really need to say anything to prove the merits that this motor offers. Stock Car production, Rally, JGTC, etc

2ZZ. Lotus. Though not as popular as the Honda Motors, they were VERY good motors. You can blame the unpopularity of the Celica, and other factors, but it also came with .2 less displacement which limited it's potential.

All 3 that I mentioned, Yamaha co-developed the heads of each motor except the 2J. They flow magnificently, and it's easily seen in the 1J/2J. The 1J's Yamaha head flowed better than the 2J head while stock. The 2J's head needed to be modified just to catch up with the flow.

Toyota designed all of the engines. The Yamaha Connection is where they go to fine tune and balance out the engine.

[orange7]

that's not a spec-v gtr.

[Vale46Rossi]

Haha, Toyota recall ftw.

[orange7]

^

all car companies have recall. We just only know about the toyota ones for some reason

[TRDood]

i'd glady buy a LP560 at that price.

[flagella]

i'd glady buy a LP560 at that price.

But those who buy LFA can easily afford several Lambos and Ferraris. This car simply isn't meant for average income earners dude.

[JoshuaWong]

why does LF-A having a Yamaha engine make it less worthy?

McLaren F1 have a BMW engine
Zonda have a Mercedes engine
Maserati MC12 have a Ferrari engine
Aston Martins have a Jaguar based engine which was built by Ford
Koenigsegg used to have Ford Modular V8
Ascari have a BMW engine
Lotus have Toyota engines.... etc etc...

need I say more? besides, Yamaha makes amazing engines.

Not to mention a lot of unlisted super cars that used lsX...

and the V12 that Aston martin uses began life as two ford focus V6 mated together.

[SpartanAir]

I think they're both pretty sweet cars...kudos to the GTR for still holding a candle to the brand new LFA's performance and technology.

As much as I like the LFA I'll always stick with my Nissan...then mod the shit out of it :)

And I would spring an extra few $$$ and go for a Murcielago.

[orange7]

to me, the LFA is more about status than performance.

[Z3guy]

to me, the LFA is more about status than performance.

buying a $300K lexus for status?...if I was focused on getting a status car, I would buy something with a more exotic or exclusive badge. Someone willing to spend $300K on a lexus is like someone willing to buy a $20K Tag Heuer watch. You are buying it for exclusivity & technology, not status.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

indeed

hence why a ferrari or lambo makes a lot more sense

[Z3guy]

^ ferrraris and lambos are a dime a dozen in this city, not exclusive at all....from an exclusivity perspective, the LFA will be in the same league as a pagani or bugatti.

[bloodmack]

Ford GT with a TT kit would smoke alot of things, as well as its alot more rare then your average day ferrari/lambo.

[shenmecar]

Its a completely different class of cars.

[josel_atr]

wow. that was great. LFA sounds sexy

[PavelGTR]

Way overpriced IMO. They should have priced it around 180-200K to compete with the R8 V10's, LP560's, 458's.
