on the TV commercial it sounds like an F1 car

4.8L V-10 552hp
9000rpm redline
top speed 202mph
0-60 in 3.2 seconds ..... you get all that starting at only $375,000

I don't think it sounds like that in real life.

Sweet car.. I guess you can get something much faster for the money but this is the first for Lexus and it will be a limited production car.. (status statement?) If i remember correctly, Lexus doesnt see a profit from the car.. its a "i can do it" kind of thing.

It is sweet! Great promo.

But for that money you can really make a limited production, like 1.

I read that the LFa is already sold out! It has some great engineering and very trick parts but for that kind of money there are other cars I would much rather have.

Agreed. Amazing car but too much money. Sad to hear Lexus won't make a penny on them, but at the same time they're not losing money either, so they basically got paid even money to learn a lot about engineering which isn't so bad. Not a real fan of those air scoops by the windows either. Seems like the car would have much better lines without those, but they certainly are distinctive. I think the guys on Top Gear did a great job of reviewing the car.
