The cost is reported to be closer to $1B and will have far more effect on the rest of Toyota and Lexus as a brand than the 500 LF A's. They have now shown they are capable of competing with anyone and that they can do more than just comfortable luxury.

But feel free to keep talking out of your ass. It's clear you haven't done any actual research on the car.

P.S. I agree that the GT-R is a gamechanger as far as pushing other companies further. But while it puts down some impressive numbers it doesn't get in the same ballpark as most of the exotics. Great car, but not in the same class as the LF A.


Yeah that's it keep sounding like a marketing guy from Lexus trying to rationalize a car thats been in development too long (10 years), that wasn't even given the green light to sell until last year, selling only 500 at an absurdly high price, and isn't a halo car like the Veyron.

As far as the GTR is concerned I completely agree. I love the car but I won't defend it like you're defending the LFA.
