this will put an end to that thought. I could be wrong with these numbers, ive read it somewhere the next Gt-R will have 600 hp. I bet it will still cost less than the LF-A.

That exhaust note on the LFA is oh so sick, but to think I can buy 5 GT-Rs for the same price as the lexus is crazy. No doubt its a superpower car, but I was unaware the engine was built by Yamaha?

There's only one thing about this concept... It's not Nissan's. I thought it was a great concept and probably one Nissan should use as an inspiration. According to Road and Track, Nissan is more focus on closer evolution than this rendering shows. They cited Nissan was looking to improve the current model and lengthen its lifecycle.

I agree, that's a great rendering!

Yamaha also designed/built the 2ZZ motor that was usedin the Celica GT-S and Lotus Elise/Exige [S].

Don't fret Yamaha's build of this engine, personally I think the motorcycle guys make the best NA motors this side of F1. 1000 cc making 150+ hp on average. Also Yamaha has been helping Toyota with engines for some time now.

$400k pricetag for a lexus? Absurd. I give lexus props for ingenuity and innovation but feel as far as sales, this is going to be the next segway.

Honda wanted to build a super car and they could not make affordable;

Toyota now builds a super car they can't make it affordable so they

slap on a LEXUS badge.

Looking at the video the GT-R is by far way ahead of its time for

down to earth people!!!!!

Why couldn't motor trend find another contestant and not a GT-R?

All you need is an exhaust or a tune and the GTR would beat it easy

LF-A barely beat a regular gtr. I bet GTR Spec-v would easily outgun the lexus.
I rather spend 170k getting gtr spec-v.
