Toyota Officially Announces $375,000 Lexus LF-A Supercar w/ Promotional Video

I agree with the author that it is going to be hard for this vehicle to be looked at in a brighter than the GT-R. Granted that the Lexus has a much more exotic, high end interior than the Nissan, but besides that not much more to understand the $300k price difference.

However, just like any luxury item out there, there will be 500 people out there that are willing to buy this vehicle in a second.

And that is all that really matters to Lexus.

Totally agree with murph, for that pricetag you could have a ferrari, lamborgini, or even one of the mid priced pagninis.

Oh and by the way, before some ‘geniuses’ try to correct me stating that Mitsui has nothing to do with Toyota- that part I already knew.
Toyota was not the first car built by Asians but Mitsui built the first one in Japan. Over 50 years after Americans (and Obaman speech was incorrect. Americans did not invent the first car, Europeans did- Germans, Mercedes Benz in 1885, though the history goes back far longer in places like Belgium as basic ideas go).
Lexus by the way is a Latin name, western names come handy when your target customers are the wealthy westerners all over the world. Too bad some of them either have bad taste or luck the money to get themselves better wheels such as a Ferrari, a Mercedes, a Rolls, etc.
What’s next, Kia building a luxury car trying to compete with high end luxury imports (they already have and it is UGLY, lol). I am a picky guy and always go for the best options and in cars I know which those are.

Wow, I thought the comments were meant to be for The Lexus Super Car. ” Technology theft is the expertise of Asians”, ” The greatest minds have come out of America and Europe.” If perhaps they listen a bit more to Mozart and Bach instead of crappy music, they would not be driving Hondas and Lexuses.” They are sound anti Asian to me. First of all I’m asian and I’ll take a Porsche and a Ferrari over this $350,000 Lexus anytime, what an insane idea from Toyota. But here is my thought on the Asian against American/European technologies.

1. If it wasn’t for Toyota, Honda, Sony, Samsung, Yamaha, Roland, Korg, Casio, alot of people in this world would have no chance of affording any automobiles and electronics, period. Imagine everyone in the world driving either a Benz or a Chevy, either one you choose you will be broke! Sooner or later. The Japs started copying everything from the automobiles to the VCRs from Western countries, but thank god for them they put so much pride and passion on everything they copied with a price tag at a fraction of an American/European
product and on top of that they actually last forever, sadly not all that is true today. Anyway my point is enjoy what ever technology has to offer today and tomorrow, it will be very exciting to see whats ahead, and the best part is they will all be affordable to anyone at some point thanks to the Chinese and Japs. Peace!!

Hardly worth the money and looks like cross between a 1983 Toyota Supra (which was a fine car by the way) and a Nissan Z on steroids. I’ll stick with my Aston Martin DB9 if you don’t mind. The epitome of elegance and performance in one very fine package.

this car is insane, looks like a car from outer space, i would def buy this over the ugly SLR any day. also i would buy it to be different from all the other exotics out there. im sure this car looks better in person

Uhm, it seems to me like I hit (and probably also stepped upon) some little minds here.
Why do I get the idea some of you responding got a bit too close to who I am to make me wonder if you work for this site and got access to private info that lead to me in order to make some comments. Haha, gotya!. Wrong again.

Facts: I am not old, don’t have a black and white TV but an high definition 43 inch one which is probably not as big as your father’s big belly or your mothers’ laze fat asses and it is color, not black and white.
I am college-educated, not a red neck, not a racist (as much as this is inferred from my statement and not off topic. If you have taken time to read all my posts, you’d found that it started attacking the design of this ugly $400K Lexus and the copycats in the Asian industry that produced this and other cars- mind you, not one company, but a bunch of them, so Toyota was not the only target of that comment I posted.
Fact- I don’t suck dicks, though unlike you bigot who ranted about me, I respect gays as well as anybody who is a decent person who respect the law. I don’t respect braggarts, idiots, retards who can not take the truth and instead begin insulting and name calling as you midget brain did.

So you turned this into me hating Asians when that was not my intention but to specify how they are good at technology theft and also made it a point to specify other things about them unrelated to the topic in another post.

Your list gives Asians much less credit than my comment in fact. I perceive Asians in a better light than your ‘defense’ does. You telling me that Asians invented the crossbow, the flamethrower, etc, etc, etc, is not an impressive list indeed, but given Asians due credit for the things in that list that are really theirs in there, I must say, none of them are so crucial as those invented by those who created real great wheels as car goes. That would be giving the discussion a racial direction which I did not intended to give but some here perceived as so.
Don’t ever become a defense lawyer for you are going to starve, lol…not that you sound like you got passed high school and if you did, your spelling is really a second-grader one.
Now. Putting that crossbow, etc from your list, Europeans and Americans invented the planes (you can not travel on an arrow, lol)/. The computer was invented here in the US and the Internet in Europe, without it you could not reply to me here. The electricity was discovered here in the US by Edison, no amount of gadgets from any country will work now without it, except your foul mouth if it wasn’t human, but a cheap robot, lol.
Nuclear energy that lits big cities which allows your computer and internet to work to reply to me was invented here in the US and also refined in Europe. The phone, invented by A.Bell, in the US. The Phonograph, from which, the recorder was created, another invention of Edison, US. The TV and radio, US.
X-rays, and untold number of life saving techniques, including the artificial heart, US and Europe. Sending rockets to the moon, US and Russia, so that is US and Europe again….and I will spend my night typing here and the list will still not be over. Read the list of Nobel Prizes from its beginning 100 years ago or so and see how many Asians you see there where it counts, in Medicine, Physics, Chemistry. Again, my intention was not to dimish any group of people, not the Asians, not any. They got more credit than you give in your list by the way. My intention was to bring awareness to technology theft in the car industry after I saw the similarity between this overly prized Lexus and another European car using my past knowledge about the issue from other cars that have been made too similar.
All this said, I recommend you see your correction officer for the way you sound, it seems to me like you are a gang type and not the type who can keep an intellectual coversation like I could.
Little minds like yourself who have a dry brain, need foul language and curses in order to boost your mind a bit so that gives your brain enough temporary neural connections to respond, even if the reply is retarded.
I have an idea or two about your background given my profession, but unlike you, I don’t like the use of retarded, biggoted foul language when the truth hits the core.
I get along well with peoples of all backgrounds, including Asians and gays (who you call faggots- it seems to me the real biggot here is you for I did not use any diminishing foul language towards anyone in my post and you did).
I guess you have to thank the Asians for the hypodermic needle, you seem to have used one with drugs before replying.

Fuck you Joe! go fuck your goat again
