LFA was lovely, far too expensive though. They should have just used aluminium and forgot about all the carbon fibre bollocks, would have been much cheaper and I'd bet not much heavier.

 

I was thinking the exact same thing. I would love one (if I had that kind of money) but would definately not pay £340,000!!

 

Could make an amazing Supra for far less! If you were to re-trim the whole thing and build it from the ground up using the best materials and parts. Inside and out it would be the dogs!

It wouldn't sell though, because of cars like the GTR. It needs to retain exclusivity IMO if it stands any chance of saving face. Personally I like the idea, both from the company's (Lexus) perspective and as a car. It shows there's still an extravagant side to the world's biggest car company, and that's a good thing. I'm all for showing a bit of character :)

Space framed chassis with a Supra shell.

Chassis technology has moved on significantly from the Supra's.

I'd love to see the Lexus in the dry.

 

I doubt you will, they couldn't bear to see a Toyota slaughter virtually every other car on the list ;)

 

As expected, the most under-rated review of such a quick car I've seen on that show.

 

Fair comments about the price, but they will sell them, there are people out there who will just buy one because its so rare and that's it at the end of the day.
