Here it is, the first instrumented test of the mighty almost $400,000 LF-A
Not very impressive if you ask me. I’d take many cars before I would even consider the LF-A, although it does look nice.

Curb weight: 3583 lb

PERFORMANCE:
Zero to 60 mph: 3.7 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 7.8 sec
Zero to 130 mph: 12.9 sec
Zero to 150 mph: 18.3 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 11.8 sec @ 124 mph
Top speed (drag limited): 202 mph
Braking, 70–0 mph: 156 ft
Roadholding, 200-ft-dia skidpad: 1.00 g

It doesn’t “suck”. Just like many cars, it’s not built to be a drag racer. :facepalm

Yep, I’m arguing that with someone over on SF. Fuck paying 400k for a 124 car, that you have to explain to the general public why you paid 400K for it.

Lexus FTL, Lambo FTW, Ferrari FTW, etc.

4

Well apparently it doesnt turn well either, a 1.0G skidpad isnt impressive either! For 400K there are ALOT better supercars out there.

5

This, for 400K id buy a used lambo, send it to UGR, and be SW :lol

6

And still have 200K left over for steroids, hookers and blow

7

Thats damn near Porsche gt money isint it?

8

Yes sir!

9

In that case you should all give up driving and get a bike…:rofl

If you have to grade a car simply by price/acceleration ratio, The Veyron probably has an even worst value, unless it can do 0-60 in -2s…:rofl

However, I do think the LF-A is overpriced.

10

We’re not, there are several reasons why it sucks. I’ll defend Supra’s and shit, but 400K for a Lexus? Fuck that. 400K for 124? Fuck that.

11

FACT: No one who can afford a $400K car in their right mind will spend it on the LF-A.

At first I was very excited about the car until they announced that it is $400K…

12

Agreed

13

The only ones buying the LF-A are going to be Lexus nutswingers with too much money, and people with too much money that want something new just because it looks cool. Realistically if it were in the low $100K range it would fare MUCH better. Hell a used Z06 would beat it

14

You guys are missing the point. It’s a limited edition vehicle, it is absolutely gorgeous, the interior is beautiful, it may not be ridiculously fast or the best handling car, but I guarantee it doesn’t matter anyways because the day they even hinted of it being released they were already sold.

There making all of ~400 of these

Theres possibly going to be something following the LFA as well…

I agree with all of you thou, its way overpriced, but they can get away with it.

15

But does it stop?

16

I just went back to edit my post to make a funneh like this

FUUUUUUUU!
:rofl:rofl

17

C6 Z06
-Almost identical 1/4 mile time
-Probable VERY similar lap times
-Brakes 7ft better 70-0
-$360,000 cheaper

Sure the LF-A looks and sounds nice, but really???

18

Again, its a limited numbered luxury “super car” and i use that term loosely

Whats funny thou is that maybe 2? People on here could possibly have the means to get one of these and your bitching about the price :rofl

19

:lol I understand the concept of a “ultra” luxury/sport car, that price is just killer.

20

stop whining like little bitches because even if you were rich you couldnt afford this car.

Cars most people cant even afford in the dreams of being richer are cooler than any other cars
