2

3

They smacked the nail on the head.



More expensive than a 599........



What is the point when you can have a 599?

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT----------RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR, thats da gt-r market i dont think is a good option for lexus, too expensive... dis car will passss away... gt-r is a leyend, if i were a millionare and wanted a japanese sport car i would buy a gt-r, this is a great car but dam thats so expensive they are selling the brand, and never will replace a ferrari or a lambo but persanaly i prefer jdm

5

wow i also noticed that! wicked effects on the edition i like it very much!!

about the lexus only 2 words.......



DO WANT!!!

6

Regardless of the price... This car/video is amazing... This is the best bit of Motion graphics I have seen all year... Back to the LF-A, first I think most people are taking this car the wrong way, this car was not meant to be a market leading vehicle, it was a first attempt/step into the world of super cars by a company who makes boring sedans... So look at it as the first of many to come. The reason it costs so much is not because it's worth that much compared to other super cars, but because it's the first of something that will challenge and rival what Europe has established as a super car...



p.s. That digital speedo display is EFFING DOPE!!!

7

graphics like that and their no B.S. opinions on cars is why i love that show so much TOP GEAR FTMFW!!!! the car is unbelievably expensive, but all the money the spent on R&D over the 9 years it was being designed makes it understandable. if i had the money i would definitely buy one though.

8

really sweet! good looking, sweet sound it's got it all, but the price no way. don't say it isn't word it but i buy a house and a handfull of used jdm ride.

9

Gorgeous car, and it makes gorgeous noise. Great vid! Like Gaijin said, their honesty and great vids are why I'm an avid Top Gear watcher.

10

:)))) You just gotta love this edition and the effects, I do! :)))) It's filled will coolness and it's comic at the same time. The main info is serious, yet the packaging is funny.:))) Brought me back to my child-hood, dreaming of robots, spaceships and cars that could do 23427942946924839472240724956359274MPH until the very dimension in which we exist would bend and warp. And to all up to the recent down memory lane back to the little boy in me experience that is Transformers! :)))) Top Gear, really the top indeed! Top production as always.

11

On a last note, the LFA is cool and all, makes u dream, but I have to agree with others that I'd rather choose a GTR any day! Way more bad-ass, serious history of legend status, pure awesome-ness and a fantasy you can have awake or in a wet dream when it's dark and foggy outside and in your mind and the lightnings storms crack the silence of the night, while the GTR echoes through the darkness of the mist!

In other words, I'd rather choose porn over sexy! :)))

12

Oh hai Sin City.





Technology is so cool now.

13

Damn this car is so cool, just like the Top Gear montage! It's just so expensive and yes it's exclusive, even then it's still really expensive. I'd buy a GTR and a house with a garage to store it in for that money lol.

14

As peps say, it’s a look at use!, What we are capable of doing/can do/watch this space ;) .Brilliant car! even if a tad expensive. And they have done a Super car before, well almost :) the Toyota Supra!.

I wonder; if they will bring out a new Supra now, with Mazda’s upcoming New RX7 replace (not RX8)!.

15

I think the LFAs ugly. The GTR is also ugly. Lexus are only making ~500 LFAs. I've seen 3 or 4 GTRs in my home town alone! Lexus aren't making any money on the LFAs. It was an exercise in engineering, and theres people that will pay for the exclusivity, and a piece of automotive history!

16

lol i saw this and was like "WTF, a UFO?" totally reminds me of the Ken Block Artist Remix video

17

MichelM, Totally agree!)

18

amazing car , nice film production, was the best part of TG last sunday

althought the rest of the show was very boring...

19

i loved the cool cartoon thing, finally Lexus made a nice car!

20

The LF-A has to go down in history as one of the most awesome car to come from Japan. The GT-R has nothing on this!!!

21

Epic fail 340'000!????? Its everything a proper japanese sports car isnt......fu*k that for that money you could buy 2 gtr's whats the point id rather nip down to mr.Nagata and nicely ask for a 32 to destroy the new gtr and lfa please and still have 240'000 to buy somethin else......

22

Hell yeah they are playing Them Crooked Vultures - Reptiles! I love that band!





I'm all about the LFA over the GT-R. To me you can see the lines of the former Supra so much better than you can see the R34 impression in the new GT-R.

23

Wow, even when all SH does is paste a link, they are three days later than the rest of the world. Why not have Brooks write something about this, he's the only one over there that can write coherent sentences.

24

skylines are so played out. best car ever right here. look at the lines on that thing, it is the most beautiful car i have ever seen. the gauges alone are worth it. skylines are lame because everyone has one. thats right i said it.

25

I was smiling the whole time I was watching that episode last night. It made me all happy inside.

26

Its worth all the money, one of the best supercars in years. And someone said why when you can have a 599? You know why, ferrari's are boring and italian. That means they brake every 1000 miles.

27

wawawa... its so expensive i could buy like 10 gtr's... most have missed the point of this car, its not to compete with the gtr, although im sure it is faster, but thats not the point. its made to broaden lexus's market which now includes high performance vehicles like the I S F and L F A. building cars like the lfa shows theyre serious about performance. no matter the price, im sure every single one will sell, and probably quickly. not to mention its a Toyota, which trumps Nissan anyday... ;)

28

To the the graphics seemed overdone, childish and wanky. I mean come on what is up with a UFO trying to zap the LFA!? But aside from that very nice review.

29

The GTR is a street/track weapon. The LFA is something abit swish to drive to the oprea in. People who buy the LFA won't be buying it for its track ability. Why must everyone compare them? They might have the same country of origin and two doors but that's where the similarities end.



GTR - SPORTS CAR

LFA - SUPERCAR (see ultra-high-end exotic car)

30

Top Gear at its best. They always make a car seem so awesome, then they say, yea but its not as awesome as we made it seem.

31

Those graphics were the most annoying thing ever. I'm trying to appreciate the footage of the LFA in action, and I have to keep dealing with some graphic design wanker messing up a decent car review. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

32

Incredible..... In Japan its a Toyota and since Lexus is owned by toyota and this is there new JGTC racecar....Welcome back to the sports car world toyota.

33

The LFA is amazing. I can also see some of the lines that reminisce of the Supra.

34

The LFA is terribly ugly. Why does it exist? Why would you charge so much for a lexus?! You have to be a total idiot to buy one.

35

Sin City graphics FTW!

36

Actually I think they were going for the Manga look.

37

I can't believe that one of his closing statements was "at the end of the day it's still a Lexus" as if to say it's the Kia of super cars. I've seen Ferrari's with less then 1,000 miles on them and already having mechanical and electrical issues. I would imagine this is the most reliable super car ever. Only thing they had to cry about was a name and the price.

38

Well the Top Gear guys are a bunch of brand snobs, especially when supercars are concerned...



It seems like Toyota's involvement in F1 DID produce something.

39

If I had $340K I could have:

1. LAF.



OR

1. 80's Lambo Countash.

2. NSX

3. RX-7 TT

4. R34 GT-R

5. 98 Supra TT

6. Delorien

7. Vector

8. Bandit edition Trans Am

9. Grand National GNX

10 57 Corvette

11. 64.5 Red Mustang convertable for the wife.



Lets see a $340,000 Toyota. I must be narfing crazy.
