Today's News

Big news out of Tokyo today. Toyota has unveiled the production version of the Lexus LFA supercar. Here is an image of the production version.

Now, it is a pretty striking design, and has a lot of the design cues that are found on the normal lexus production vehicles. It comes with a 5.0 Liter v10 producing around 500 horsepower. The car is fast, with 0-60 reportedly at 3.7 seconds, and a top speed of over 200 MPH.

Here is where Toyota went wrong, the car has a price tag of over $500,000. Now i'm not saying that the car may not be worth that, but think about what you can buy for that money.

4 ZR1 Corvette's
5 Nissan GTR's
2 Ferrari F430's

Also, considering the fact that you can buy a 90's Toyota Supra and modify it to well under the 0-60 time above for a heck of a lot lower price.

To me, the LFA just doesnt seem like a great value, and i dont think it is so spectacular that it can justify a half million dollar price tag.

I mean come on, you can buy a ZR1 for about 120 grand, and then totally modify it for under 200 grand, and have a full on race car. Seems like a better deal to me.
