2012 Lexus LFA vs 2010 Nissan GT-R - Motor Trend

Anatoray · 05-20-2010, 01:07 AM

I think people doing straight number comparisons and commenting on how ridiculous the LFA is are missing the point. First, its not a mass produced car like the GTR is. Second, its the result of ten years of passionate work. Everything about it is crafted so perfectly, how can you even talk about cost and performance "Bang for your buck"? The LFA was probably a dream for its engineers to make.

I agree, while I love both cars its not a good comparison but the price of the lfa is justified by the engineering that went into it imo. If I had the money I would get it just for the sound: YouTube - Lexus LFA: a symphony of sound It also went around Nurburgring in 7:24

That price for the LFA is ridiculous,

and I thought the price for the GTR was bad.

Plus beating the GTR for less than a car lenght. I was expecting at least a school bus lenght.

The lines of the car are better to me than the GTR. The GTR looks like a tank side by side.
