Very nice looking car. I'm picky but, feel like they could have done a more elegant looking wing. Any idea on price of this thing? So, I guess it kills the GTR although, it looks like it was rear wheel drive in that clip of it drifting (end of video).

Doubt that if I even had the money, I would spend an assload to have this car over an american muscle car all done up nice.

Any idea on price of this thing?


The price hasn't been officially announced, but the rumored pricing is in Supercar territory.

only 350 ft-lbs of torque

I've been waiting to see one of these. I remember reading about these coming around a year ago. Car is sick!

only 350 ft-lbs of torque

Exactly what I saw too. Is that a typo??

Car looks sick though.

The torque figure is correct.

Here is another video with a hot lap towards the end.

So now im starting to see what I dont like about it. Its power is nothing compared to what other cars of that price range are. A Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 is cheaper and has more power. Aston Martin DBS is cheaper and only lacks 40hp but has established itself. And they mention in that last video about it against ZR1s and the GTR. The ZR1 is well over $200,000 cheaper and has 100 more hp! What are they thinking?

Am I the only one that thinks it looks... well... ugly?? Maybe not "ugly" but it looks kinda goofy to me...

I may be posting info about it, but I don't necessarily care for it. That doesn't mean there aren't aspects of it that I do like. When you factor in the projected price range (200-400k), then consider what can be purchased for the same amount or less, it falls flat on its face.

375k announced on autoblog what a joke.

They're only making 500 of them. There are at least that number of clowns out there that will buy it for that reason alone (regardless of how it stacks up against the competition).

Am I the only one that thinks it looks... well... ugly?? Maybe not "ugly" but it looks kinda goofy to me...Your not the only one. That thing is fugly for real.

I like the way it looks. Does it look like $375k though? Hell no.:lol:

Lexus Fails-AGAIN

Lol $370k

wow nice

It kind of has to grow on me...but 350+k no way, Lambo, Porsche, Ferrari come to mind first. If your going to spend that kind of coin make sure its a panty dropper.

You know I think it's ugly.

wtf is that black plastic crap underneath the tail lights? looks like sh*t IMO

The rear spoiler looks funny to me almost out of place imo ! but that kind of money i would still buy a zr1 :cool:

only 350 ft-lbs of torqueHoly weak sauce BatMan....and at 6800 rpm to boot....damn.

What happens for the first 6799rpm while its working its way to the torque peak?

For my $375K, I want some low end grunt thanks....

Car looks like a stupid piece of shit. Just like the new skylines. Multiple cars, all in one. Like they were born in a test tube with multiple low horsepower fathers, one whoreish mother. Ugly ass car,... I don't give a shit what it is.... what it cost.

:lol:
