meh... it'd be nicer to get some actual numbers
still that price is insane, even after the reviews showcasing the high-quality materials and tech, the price still just seems far fetched

^ it's not that far-fetched when they only produce 500 cars plus 10 years of R and D. It adds up.

0-9k rpm in 0.6 seconds? For a V10? 
That's just god damn impressive for a road car.
I don't agree with the car being priced where it is, but I can understand why they decided to.

that's what top gear says http://www.revscene.net/forums/top-g...s-t601560.html | |

They probably used digital because it "looks cool", typical of so many Japanese "gadgets" they seem to like so much. Digital also goes with the "futuristic" looks of the car.

amazing car, and that rev is very impressive. But i think the price is a bit to steep for a lexus. I understand why they put it there with the limited numbers and the high priced materials but i still think its to much.

Impressive car, I'm sure it's a collector's item and real collectors will be happy to pay for it.

hell I love how the concept looked the production car... not soo much.
apprently tho toyota will still take a pretty big loss for every car they sell if you can believe that

Bad on Timpo for being a "blind" fanboy who soaks up and believes anything the Japanese manufacturers or media print.
