The only downside being a Toyota geek is it does not feature the legendary green tint Lexus/Toyota LCD clock!
WHAT?! Please don't tell me that after having put this into about a billion cars over several decades they've finally run out of them? I'd have to sellotape my Casio F-91W to the dash instead. They put the Toyota sewing machine technology to good use on these with the carbon fibre bits.

Why buy a car to impress people? Again I find this odd but that's just me. I would never buy a car because I want people to know that it cost a certain amount. I wouldn't buy a car based on what others think either. Nor would I buy a car because of the badge, complete badge snobbery etc.
The LFA has immense presence, it might not have the Lambo badge but here in London it get's no less attention from everyone from my experience of seeing them.
Why not? I'm not talking about badge snobbery, I'm talking about the fact that it gets over shaddowed in the looks department by cars worth 1/5 of the price The LFA has immense presence, it might not have the Lambo badge but here in London it get's no less attention from everyone from my experience of seeing them.

Does anyone have a link to the spare parts price list for these? Guaranteed to make you put in a museum and never drive it.
Edit: Can't find the list itself but here are some highlights:
Front Bumper $14,000
Clutch pressure plate $17,000, Friction Plate $4,000
Windscreen $18,278
You get the picture.

Awesome cars. Looked into buying one a few months ago but some of the parts prices are astronomical. £40k for a damper.
A damper or a set of dampers? Either way that's insane, I think I just rethought my desire to get one of these one day.

As someone said above, surely you'd be able to get bespoke items made to the same specification for less? Although I suppose if you did that you'd have to be happy with wiping half the value off the car.

I love them so much.
They aren't the fastest albeit they're still very quick.
They're overpriced and yet you just know the engineering and effort that went into it.
They sound absolutely bloody incredible and they look fantastic too.
I'd give anything to sit in one let alone hear it rev or ride in it.
