LEXUS LFR
 
Supposed to be a GT3 class car, homologation for road use.

I dont know if i like it or not. Its a bit too...... penis-y shaped. Too much hood, too long, no rear deck. Looks like SLS proportions which i never liked.

Turboed V8, hopefully it sounds still good but i doubt it with the turbos.

I might have to trade in my ratrolla for this later on if the reviews come out positive. Never first-year production of course (look at how bad all the first year toyota products are doing right now). Or if they want like 300k for it, then they can suck a dick cuz i aint paying 300k for a stinking toyota. my shanghainese family would disown me.

Seeing how LFAs are priced now, I somehow doubt they'll price it at $300k (A new S63 AMG costs more than that already). Probably closer to $500k if you can somehow beat the dealer principals on allocations.

Cool looking car though - maybe OpenRoad Lexus will have it on display where the LFA sat.

Looks great. I love it. Ditto on the $500K+ territory. It will likely appreciate instantly once someone crashes theirs on Nordel Way or Robson Street.

its good for the brand, but I don't understand why it would be so expensive.

They don't have to develop their own carbon fibre loom, like they did for the LFA, or create a brand new V10 from scratch, like the LFA. I assume this is just a parts bin car strapped on what is likely a new TNGA (TOYOTA NEW GLOBAL ARCHITECTURE) ala the ratrolla which is TNGA-L (only shared with the LS, and the Crown)

That v8 is just the same 5.0L 2UR-GSE w/ some turbo charging.

Anyone else think the shape is similar to a FD RX-7?

Big bro badhobz gonna step up and bring it to a meet.

The Revuelto is $750k and it's not limited production so I expect this car to be much higher than $500k. And it'll likely be near impossible to buy, wouldn't be surprised if you have to be selected to buy one like the Ford GT.

Badhobz 10-17-2024 10:27 AM

If i buy it, ill wrap it the same color as my ratrolla.

what awesome color did you get for your 10k wrap on your 500k car? the same as a 20k corolla le duh.

Buy it and wait 5 years and sell for $1.5??? Profit

I have been re watching Initial D on youtube and that was my first thought. Looks like an RX-7.

I totally see it now

bcrdukes 10-18-2024 05:53 AM

If any of you guys watch IMSA or WEC races, the GT3 cars are often of this design, so nothing out of the ordinary. Aston Martin, Mercedes-AMG, BMW etc. They all hold similar designs within this category of vehicle.

Yes, but not if you vote in the cons... supposedly..

Edit: I didn't read luxury. I'm retarded. I don't know sorry.
