2012 Lexus LFA vs 2010 Nissan GT-R

This video has some really interesting tidbits. I didn't realize it but the the LFA's engine is actually manufactured by Yamaha. After they build the engine they sent it over to their music instruments department to fine tune the sound. It does have a really sweet sound!

Still not feeling the GT-R at all. But I must say, for some reason I like that LF-A. It is just priced about $200,000 too high.

 

Yes/ no.

The body on the LFA looks good, but doesn't look exotic. The engine is also too weak for it's price point.

But, the chassis is a thing of beauty, where IMO, only the One-77 looks better with the skin off.

 

Jeeeez! Now they're offering a $70,000 Nurburgring Package! I think it's a bit much.

The LFA is a toy for the super rich. People with enough money where they already have the Ferraris and Lambo and are curious to see what the LFA is about so $400k is chump change.

I cant imagine anyone making it their primary exotic.

 

it barely beat the GTR in the 1/4 mile. Thats dissappointing.
I expecting more from this "super car".

 

+1 that's a perfect explanation

 

Wow, that was way closer than what I was expecting...

 

Have you seen the chassis of both in the flesh? If so pics are in order

 

For once I agree, and it does not have a double clutch. Sounds SUPERB though.

 

I have similar pictures to this, but the wire frame really takes away from the photos

That's the most insulting thing Lexus could do. "Yes, this $400,000 Lexus is the pinnacle of design, engineering, and performance. It's certainly worthy of sharing a price point with a Ferrari 599.... but for $70,000 more we can make it just a liiiiittle bit MORE perfect."

What a joke.

 

Still think the LFA is butt-ugly and I personally think it's overpriced, but my lord does it ever sound fantastic.

 

oh yeah like other makes dont do this?

anyway I still agree w/ you.
