Lexus LFA including drifting

Quoted at going on sale for $250,000 that seems a bit steep for a super performance car without a pedigree.
The LFA doing a little drifting, it not the best bit of drifting i have seen.

The problem Lexus has is that they're Lexus - they're seen as dull and dependable, not exciting and awesome!
But if the car is as good as it seems to be, then the price tag won't be an issue - if this is SLR good, it should be SLR money, not 911 money just because it's a Lexus

I don't agree personally, it's not all about pedigree, look what Pagani did with the Zonda - they went from nowhere to respected supercar manufacturer with the launch of one £300k supercar.

09-09-2016, 06:54 AM #7true but £300k is Carrera GT and SLR territory is it not? Why would someone get the LF-A over either of those 2?

Aston Martin DBS V12: $269,000
Ferrari 599 GTB: $302,584
Lambo LP640: $318,800
Pagani Zonda S: $350,000 (can't find a price for the F)
Carrera GT: $414,800
Mclaren SLR: $495,000
Koenigsegg CCX: $540,000
LF-A in $ (from xe.com/ucc): $558,000
Bugatti Veyron: $1,550,000
I appreciate that's not an entirely fair comparison as I've converted the UK price to dollars and the dollar price would be lower. Also some of those cars are old now and may not be available / may have become cheaper / may have been superceded! However if I was in the market for a car of the type listed above, I know what would NOT be on my list.
You reckon?
