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. ---

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. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/lexus-lfa/75156.md?page=2)
