Once again you clearly show you have no idea what you're talking about. As has already been pointed out to you there have been multiple supercars that have been built that lose money.

Lexus by limiting sales to 500 units capped their potential return on investment at $200M....do you really think that they thought they could get into the supercar/exotic market for less than that??? Now who's the gullible one.

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.
