wow unbelievable!

Interior shots look great, hopefully that is how the actually car looks when produced, which I assume it will.
I did see the one issue I had with the exterior, and it is the hood against the front bumper, it looks like it goes not close 100%. Is it just a black piece there are does it not close all the way for air to pass through?

^That gap is too big to be a defect...meaning it's probably functional

nogoodname · 10-20-2009, 09:18 PM

That is what I keep thinking, but it just feels, off.

Well it's much more... well much much much more than a Supra. :/

nogoodname · 10-20-2009, 09:35 PM

that's why i said modern...lol

That thing is so bad a$$! It'll blow the doors off a lot of cars. It's supposed to be a Ferrari/Lambo fighter from its $200k+ price. The interior is so sexy.

OK...the GTR is no longer the king of the hill when it comes to Japanese sports cars.

You guys think this car's filling the Supra's shoes, na-ahh. Supra's shoes are filled with that FT-86 thing. Supra is also an affordable sports car too, not an exotically priced one.

molamann · 10-20-2009, 09:41 PM

Well I'm still wondering why people refer to the LF-A as a "modern" or "next" Supra other than the fact that they're both produced by Toyota/Lexus. In addition, they don't necessarily share a similar price tag nor similar performance, hell they're not even in the same category. :/

well the MSRP on this thing just got announced.... 375K in the US 534K in the UK

as for the GTR comment... at least we still got it 0-60 and i bet its even in the 1/4...after with the weight difference and hp advantage it wouldnt be too pretty i dont imagine.

lexus ran a 7:30 ring time in this thing but had some traffic in certain areas... the driver said its capable of 7:23

edeeZee · 10-21-2009, 12:20 AM

^Hennessey's got a 700hp GTR--crazy fast, like 10's in the 1/4. Modern day 3000GT VR-4! Just kidding
