the back end is so ugly. but from every other angle it looks awesome


Sweet fucking gauge cluster, and it sounds amazing.

love it.

front bumper looks like a ricer body-kit

hate the exhaust outlet, meh on the back, love the rest.

under 400 ft/lbs from a v10? :tif:

Tq seems low

Sweet rice. Looks like someone took a GT-R and changed it up a little.

Not impressed by the numbers at all actually.

No official release on the price yet, people speculate from 100k-500k.

I think it looks great on the outside but the odd hood vent and triple exhaust could have been left out. Probably wouldn’t notice either that much on a black car. Tons of pictures of this thing have been posted.

Sounds amazing. Neat car.

look at one in black and you’ll change your mind about the back

Price this morning

Wow, i like it. That car has come a long way since i first saw it in 2005.

edit~ my terrible pics from 05 NAIAS

Sexy. I love the way it sounds. I need to win the lottery.

All this and there’s been talk of an L-FA R which is completely carbon fiber with more power, better suspension, etc.

I’ll take two. I love the looks. Gotta be a blast to drive but $375k? GTFO.

I’d rather accidentally a GTR or Carrera GT

Especially considering you can have 4 GTR’s for the cost of this thing.

I’m ashamed to say I like it and the FT concept a ton. Granted they probably still drive like sterile souless Toyota crap.

Id rather have 4 R35’s…

I would rather have a R8, ZR1, GT-R and CTS-V for about the same money.

Granted I have not driven 3 of those 4 or the LFA. Plus if you are in a position to buy an LFA you can probably buy the other 4 as well.
