- Awwzm, on 10/21/2009, -0/+49What Toyota needs is a follow up to the Supra that will be head to head with Nissan's 370Z.
- ftc08, on 10/21/2009, -2/+33This means it's time to hand it over to our tamed racing driver. Some say his belly button is actually a button, and if you press it he goes off and makes a cup of tea. All we know is, he's called The Stig!
Seriously. I'm having top gear withdrawal. When do the new episodes start again? - lifegaurdm, on 10/21/2009, -2/+25I want to see this car on Top Gear.
- smack1700, on 10/21/2009, -0/+17Finally! I was deciding between this and a Honda Civic, but after seeing the pics of the Lexus Supercar, think I'll change my mind
- jrm125, on 10/21/2009, -5/+22$150k more than a Ferrari F458....I don't see how this competes in the same super car class.
Of course people who can afford this can probably just afford both or something better. - tryptonaut, on 10/21/2009, -5/+20Holy ***** that's expensive. Finally, another car only the top 1% can afford!
- JackGrinnan, on 10/21/2009, -3/+17Seems pretty much on par with a Porsche Turbo, except it's like $225,000 more?
- RobertWright, on 10/21/2009, -7/+19That's a Beauty!
- Raoulduke310, on 10/21/2009, -2/+13Wayyyy too much competition at that price point.
Who would choose a Toyota over:
SLR Mclaren
Lambo Murcielago
Three Audi R8s
Ferrari F430 - SimonWatson, on 10/21/2009, -1/+11FINALLY, I've been waiting to watch someone else drive an awesome car.
/s - namja23, on 10/21/2009, -5/+13Now that is a sexy beast.
- theStig, on 10/21/2009, -0/+7I agree with a poster up above. They need to bring the Supra back. Something in the same size/weight range as the 370z with two engine options - the 315hp 3.5L V6 found in the IS350, or the 415hp V8 from the IS-F.
- kalak451, on 10/21/2009, -1/+8Your picture is of a Nissan GTR, not a Lexus LF-A.
- jrm125, on 10/21/2009, -3/+9Yea, but then I asked myself...who is such a Toyota (Lexus) enthusiast that it necessitates the premium?
For that money and level of enthusiasm, I would think most people would be looking for real performance and pedigree. - inactive, on 10/21/2009, -8/+14Seems a little high for a toyota. Much rather have a Ferrari or Lambo
- Haz3rd, on 10/21/2009, -10/+16Looks ugly to me.
- perfecxion, on 10/21/2009, -1/+7very slick design. I wonder why can't they just give that design to all cars :) i don't need the engine just a sexy car.
- Frixionburne, on 10/21/2009, -0/+6November 15th
I was so consumed with top Gear withdrawal that I torrented oz and james drink to britan. Hilarious show might I add. - drhead, on 10/21/2009, -0/+5Wait the 370 and GT-R aren't in the same league. Also This is up there with the NSX of yesteryear.
- crashbang, on 10/21/2009, -4/+9Sick.
- funk49, on 10/21/2009, -1/+6Yuk...give me an R8 and I'll stuff the remaining $160K in the bank. I'm not picky. Hideous....
- akatsuki, on 10/21/2009, -4/+9Too expensive, too limited, and frankly just not that interesting - sorta like the Porsche Carrera GT, you gotta offer more. I suppose maybe it might be cool to have one, but over a Ferrari F430? I am not so sure.
- nouman1989, on 10/21/2009, -5/+10I can haz that ?
- Teknikscian, on 10/21/2009, -0/+4lol @ lexus skyline
- PSPDS, on 10/21/2009, -1/+5I feel the price is way to high for something like that
- sturmgiest, on 10/21/2009, -1/+5The price tag for that is ridiculous. Twice the price of a Ferrari V8 and the Ferrari is slightly faster? Who is going to pay that much for a Lexus when a Lamborghini LP670 is both cheaper and faster? I don't think a Japanese V10 has the same appeal as an Italian V12. A common Z06 corvette is just as fast, and the Nissan GTR should beat it in every benchmark.
- SinisterSaracen, on 10/21/2009, -2/+5So, what makes the Ferrari 599 relevant? It does not perform as well as a 458. Performance isn't everything.
The LFA, like the Ferrari 599, is a true supercar, but also a comfortable GT. The LFA also has the most exotic construction materials since the Ferrari Enzo, but will cost roughly half as much.
It's as much about its blend of visceral performance, speed and comfort as it is about being a show case for advanced construction technologies.
But if I had to explain it you didn't get it, and if you till don't then you're hopeless. - kalak451, on 10/21/2009, -0/+3If your post was just trying to compare the two, it failed horribly.
And the Infiniti(notice the spelling) G35(JDM Nissan Skyline) has essentially nothing to do with with the r35 GT-R. Previous incarnations of the GT-R were just huge performance upgrades to normal JDM Skylines, but the current GT-R is an entirely different beast. Different engine, transmission, chassis, body, etc. They don't even look anything alike anymore. - frequentFlyer, on 10/21/2009, -0/+3I was thinking a 350Z with a body kit.
- Awwzm, on 10/21/2009, -0/+3Nice tribute to the AE86.
- Jektal, on 10/21/2009, -0/+3I thought that was a sporty economy car, in the <200bhp range?
- sturmgiest, on 10/21/2009, -2/+5The Ferrari has a much greater pedigree and its probably only even with a 599 in performance. Who wants a Japanese V10 when you can have an Italian V12? And its STILL more expensive than a 599.
- funk49, on 10/21/2009, -0/+3We have a GT that cruises around near my house and it sounds like a 747 is landing. You can hear it from blocks away. The sound is just AMAZING and as also looks very badass up close.
- AmnesiacJack, on 10/21/2009, -0/+3Hey ass hole I only had to fire 10 people to afford this car! I've earned it!
/s - anixmander, on 10/21/2009, -0/+3Cars like this are pretty much pure advertising. It's more of a look at what we can build! type of thing.
- RebornInFlames, on 10/21/2009, -0/+3Wow, that's great guys.
Now how about an ISF with A ***** MANUAL TRANSMISSION! - MaxxusFlamus, on 10/21/2009, -1/+3it's a performance flagship- sort of like a company identity.
Nissan- GTR
Ford- Ford GT
Chevrolet- ZR1 (I suppose?)
Honda- NSX
Dodge- Viper
etc etc etc - frequentFlyer, on 10/21/2009, -0/+2"We need Dinozord power NOW!
"white Ranger Power!"-Tommy
"Black Ranger Power!"-Adam
"Yellow Ranger Power!"-Aisha
"Blue Ranger Power!"-Billy
-Power Rangers - theStig, on 10/21/2009, -0/+2Soon I hope! I heard they're already complaining of high production costs for the next season.
- musntSurfatWork, on 10/21/2009, -0/+2Dan was a single guy living at home with his father and working in the family business.
When he found out he was going to inherit a fortune when his sickly father died, he decided he needed to find a wife with whom to share his fortune.
One evening, at an investment meeting, he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her natural beauty took his breath away.
"I may look like just an ordinary guy," he said to her, "but in just a few years, my father will die and I will inherit $200 million."
Impressed, the woman asked for his business card and three days later, she became his stepmother.
Women are so much better at financial planning than men. - heynow21, on 10/21/2009, -1/+3Looks like a tastelessly modded 94 supra.
- JoeHague, on 10/21/2009, -0/+26 speed automatic?
- NoLibertarians, on 10/21/2009, -0/+2How exactly did you sell your soul to wall street?
- JoeHague, on 10/21/2009, -0/+2I'm totally with you on that. I have no idea what Automatic sequential gearbox means. I'm of the mindset that if a car costs more than 100k is should be a manual transmission.
- meddelem, on 10/21/2009, -0/+2looks like a conceptualized toyota celica :

no word on mpg??! wtf - CrazedLeper, on 10/21/2009, -1/+3Finally, I have an answer for all those times I need to increase my velocity to 100 km/h but 4 seconds is way too long to wait.
- ftc08, on 10/21/2009, -0/+2HOLY *****. HE SPEAKS!
- bobdigi, on 10/21/2009, -0/+2Noice
- LopezElGuapo, on 10/21/2009, -0/+2For everyone who says "meh" listen to the clips of the car first. Then see if you still think "meh," if so, this car is not aimed at you. With the production run they are planning, they have probably already almost sold out of these...
- howdareyou, on 10/21/2009, -0/+2In HD!
By the way if you haven't seen it I recommend downloading Top Ground Gear Force, hopefully it will help with the withdrawals. -
