"Beauty comes with a price".......that quote definitely follows this remarkable car. Yes guys its finally being released out of the garages and to the lucky 350 some people who had a chance to jump on this Toyota supercar named LF-A.
The Beasts Data:
Top Speed: 202
0-60: 3.6 seconds
HP: 550 HP (~8,400 rpm) w/ 354 ft/lbs of torque (6,800 rpm)
Power Horse: 4.8 V10 (Hand crafted!)
Transmission: 6 speed Paddle shift
Other: Carbon fiber material and blah blah blah all you guys care about is the data above!
This car is amazing and I love the way it looks the science behind it and the sheer power it has. The only thing that's confusing to me is that its $375,000 dollars. Is it because its made out of Carbon fiber material, maybe its the hand crafted engine, or maybe its the technologically advanced instruments in its interior. Whatever it is this car is overpriced in my eyes.
A Lamborghini LP460 cost 20k less, has a V12 engine boasting 640 HP, with all wheel drive! If you still think I'm pulling a big fit then think about their competitor Nissan. The Supra and Skyline GTR have always been bitter rivals. When the new GTR came out fans were excited and relieved that Nissan was listening to them. A car that's affordable (approx $80k), throwing 523 HP on your feet, and 0-60 in 3.5 seconds. This is true Japanese performance supercar in a V6 engine.
In the Supra's case Toyota threw it out and said we are moving on too "efficient" cars, later on to release a supercar in their luxury brand Lexus thats not affordable for common consumers. Even though this may be true, myself being a supra fan, I was very excited cause I knew this was a way Toyota was realizing it needed to revive the Phoenix that has fought the Godzilla GTR for many years.
