Good review, but you should have taken some video clips of that "test drive". Still, you didn't answer the most important question, is it worth 400k? Is it better than a gallardo, murcielago, 599, 458, sls amg, 911 gt3 rs, gt2 rs, aston martin vanquish v12, mp4-12c, carrera gt, etc.?
In all honestly, it's the best out of the box OEM bone stock car I've ever driven...period. However, the $375-$400K delivered price tag is a big hurdle to jump over. I think I car like this should be priced at about $150K. Lexus created extreme rarity with this vehicle, which I believe is what drove the price through the roof. At the end of the day, the value of something is the amount that someone is willing to pay, regardless of perceived worth. So with 200 people lined up and locked in to pay $375K+ you can't get much of an argument from me.

Doesn't Lexus lose money on each one they sell? If that's the case then it is not the rarity that drove up the price, it was the 10 years of R&D!

This. I'd give semi-vital organs to have one. Lungs? Hell, who needs two?

The Lexus custodian lady wouldn't even use the restroom without taking the LFA keys with her.
