Another Treasure Or Simply Fools Gold? Lexus Developing Faster And Twice As Expensive LFA II

When compared to its performance rivals that figure seems downright excessive. After all, for $225,000 you can land a Ferrari 458 Italia or for $90,000 there’s the Nissan GT-R. Then again, at this level you’re paying as much for exclusivity as for price and with just 500 units ever made, and the fact that the LFA is undoubtedly Japan’s first ever supercar, the automaker had no trouble finding buyers.

Based on that car’s success and Toyota’s newfound performance spirit under the leadership of CEO Akio Toyoda, Lexus is already preparing a successor that will be vastly more impressive in terms of performance. It will also be vastly more expensive.

They are probably targeting something in between Enzo and Veyron. I don't think it'll be NA this time, since FI is so easy.

Meanwhile, spare some money for Supra would you? You already have GT86 platform right? Don't let Subaru dictate product planning.

Hmmm, I like the idea of more performance, but hate the idea of more expensive. The LFA is WAY expensive for what it offers already.

Comparing this car to a GT-R is like comparing a WRX/EVO to an M3. Pointless.

I say let any any car company build whatever it can afford to. Supercars are always fun to drive, see, and read about :)...even though most wouldn't be my first choice.
