Great display, I love the sound, the ease of the way the ride smoothers round the ring.

No doubt, few other car will again come back to rewrite their times. It's not about marque vs marque but the lfa having gone back to tweak (the sad sudden passing of naruse may have delayed some sort of development for lfa), it's great to see it's now back to unleash the potential.

There are those who laugh at veyron as having only 1000hp ++ , when some have even mod to that hp a few years ago, but the fail to recognize the development behind it. Like the veyron, some super cars have not unleashed/flex it's full potential yet.

& that I believe the lfa is only just begining to show it's stripes.

The driver makes the drive so unreal. Mind you, it's unbelievably fast, 1 sec , 2, sec or 10, in real world, it's a beastly fast

1 sec is more than 1 car length, 10 sec, if you drive behind you wont even see the tail lights

Yeah man... I so want to own an lfa... But could not affort it.... Its sad....

 

[g4i8y0t]

one thing for sure, the LFA has the best sound in the world.. GTR? brpp brrppp brppp only..

it is sad to see ppl still living in automotive dark ages..... Yes Lexus is toyota and Toyota is lexus..
I am sorry it doesnt have heritage like Ferrari or Lambo. However what it does have is quality, reliability and technology.
If you understand what is LFA is made off then the price is not a issue. They use the best materials.
The chassis is composite carbon fiber... this is Formula 1 stuff !!!. There is no engine like the LFA again sounds like Formula 1 ... Yes Toyota did learn a thing or two in Formula 1. Even the exhaust sound was tuned by Yamaha. The gearbox is made inhouse in Toyota ...smells like Formula 1.

So much passion was put into making this car. So do complain it is expensive compared to a Ferrari, GTR Lambo...etc.. Only 500 will be made and all are fully sold. The factory churns out 20 a month cos fully hand made..The best part is Toyota is losing money for everyone sold
so that means the car and component is worth alot more. No manufacture will dare to built a car like this. Top speed and quick of the mark alone doesn't make a supercar. How it takes corners also counts. LFA is a good all rounder...

As for GTR it is a fantastic car and my personnel favourite. it is hard to compare with LFA.
For me LFA and GTR you are paying for component and technology and not the badge.

regardless, any car vs lfa, we all love fast cars.. peace..

The GTR is great because of how incredible the performance that you get at a relatively "cheap"/a lot less money compared to other super/hyper car including the LFA. Surely the LFA is a hell of a car to be able to achieve that sort of lap times, but in terms of performance for the dollar, the GTR will still take the cake. But obviously it's not what the LFA is aiming for in the 1st place...

 

[alantjw]

Agreed.... i Love lfa is also mainly not of the speed or the price but because it is a masterpeice..
