Drag Race: 2012 Lexus LFA vs 2010 Nissan GT-R

[yoshyoka]

To compare two supercars like this is ridicolous and pointless. The real sense of it, al the fine tuning of chassis, suspensions brake systems aerodynamics is all about making the lap time on a demanding track. If you just want to win a drag race, purchase a used V6, turbocharge it to the extreme, trow out everything which gives real value to a car (its electronics, any confort, forget about build quality), fit everything an a rod and go...

[iGoNzO123]

They LET the LFA win. THATS BULL SHIT.

[iambiggus]

Caddy CTS-V 1hp=$116. Vette ZR1 = $157. GTR=$160. LFA= $679(!). All of these cars post comparable #'s, all do </= to 4s 0-60's, all do </= 11s 1/4 miles, one costs 400k, the rest less than 100k. I think the reason people (including myself) gripe on the LFA is it's ridiculous cost/performance. 10 years of R & D and 400k later you can beat one with a Vette, keep up with a GTR, and peg one with a Caddy. If you buy one to be exclusive you're not a car guy, you're form over function.

[V8Supercar1]

@iambiggus: Thats because the Lexus LFA is a Supercar. Supercar's performance is not built to a price point. Overall build quality, high quality materials all around inside and out, research, design and performance is what supercars are all about. The Nissan GTR, ZR1, and the CTSV are all great great cars. But the LFA is well worth its price tag.

[Paulrebul]

You can keep both cars. I'll take an x-15 or a mig 25 foxbat any day.

[JonathanXDBlack]

Both cars are great, but if I had my choice, I would rather take the Nissan. Still, I admit that the Lexus is a very good car too.

[limpkit2011]

damn that LFA looks ugly

[Kingshah007]

Look at the world best drag race...

Apparently a car Called GT-R beat the hell out of the LFA

[markn1937]

LIKE PUSHING TWO TURDS DOWN A HILL TRING TO AVOID THE RUST PIECES FALLING OFF

[ryl417]

GTR any day. Any day.

[Billboard2001]

@ryl417 that's because you're an idiot all day. Every day.

[ryl417]

@Billboard2001 Wrong, it's called personal preference. An opinion which you may have difficulty understanding thus and resorting to trolling when others do not share your idea, so fan boy or buster? I prefer fan boy.

[Syncronizeification]

People got to remeber its over a 1/4 mile, racing over a mile would be a better test.

[warscarz5541]

Ill still take the GTR!

[guitardude845]

You have to admit the LFA is sick. GT-R is also sick but LFA is just a bit more with look and engine. And idk why people flip about the price it compares to ferrari and its made by the luxury side of toyota, lexus. the gt-r is not luxury its actual nissan not infinity. See the difference. overall just as a GT-R is awesome the LFA is sick cuz off it's look

[MIKECORTI]

Yeah Nissan GTR all day. Until Toyota decides to step their game up, I cannot take them seriously. Every Toyota on the road automatically reminds me of a 90's Avalon. Simple as that.

[TheShadowchild21]

so gtr loses by a tenth of a second. not bad considering its 310,000 dollars cheaper

[pimpswagger100]

to be honest the gt-r would of one if it was a mile drag rice instead of the quater mile drag

[mizwa]

LFA wins period! NEXT!

[psylover1991]

GT-R is the best!

[Alhameli95]

Gtr is nice and the lfa is expencive so i prefer to buy a car that is fast and made for tracks like a zr1 or zo6 or a porcha gt2

[TheZoelzer2]

stop all the camera changes.

[dominicflores2010]

this is fake. it is totally rigged. the gtr obviously is the faster car and the driver backed off on it. you can tell in the video

[wakabless]

@dominicflores2010 you are right, if you look at the other video the gtr vs z06 vs 500gt the gtr runs 11.2 on this one it's running 11.9 .... I call bs

[obscuresword]

@wakabless this is the 2010 GTR not the 2012

[obscuresword]

@dominicflores2010 no it isn't

[obliqr]

for 330k more it better beat a gtr by more that a half a car lenght, by the way that was a first gen gtr, i dont think it would beat the new gtr if it only beat the old one by such a small margin. 400k fail, you might as well buy a 458 and a aventador for all that money

[triggerhappybullets]

@obliqr this car was not meant to be a "you get 500x more than what you pay for" This car was made to be a rare exclusive exotic. only 400 will be made.

[donisthabomb1]

This car was made to be rare and exclusive, not bang for buck. Sure the gtr is fast.. But this car is more rare. Lexus didnt want the lfa to be a tuner car that street racers put stickers and turbos on getting in street races. Its in the class of enzos etc. rare and super expensive not bang for buck. People want bang for buck, buy a muscle car and drop a motor and you can run 10s. You want a track car grt a gtr. U want to look like the coolest richest guy on the block, get an lfa

[joey66133]

LFA looks like a pissed off Supra :D

[prescomp]

did anyone see the hood bouncing on the LFA,,,?

[schamaa11]

i would get the lfa over a gtr anyday if i had the choice

[johnnylarue1]

$400K toyota blows

[CJAEY]

God, people are so fucking stupid, nothing but fanboy talk.

People purchase the LFA for exclusivity and it's a unique car. It was never built to be the fastest car out there.

Now the GTR was built to be the fastest production car out there and for under $90k.

You know what I always see in GTR videos? Theres always a bunch of 14 year olds saying "If I had the money, this that"... smh

[gdiligent]

@CJAEY The problem is that the kind of person that would buy a GTR would never buy a LFA and vice versa. A GTR owner wants to drive and an LFA owner wants to show off. Toyota really hasn't made anything in the real realm of sports cars for awhile. The bland uninteresting designs and lack of performance inovation has hurt the pre 1997 Toyota fan base and now 400k later, really?? But I would buy the GTR even if I did have the money for a LFA. Tell the truth I'd buy 4 and get better resale value.

[CopyWhite]

@CJAEY what are you babbling about? The GTR was NOT built to be "the fastest production car out there" (whatever that means) Fastest 1/4 mile? Fastest 1/8 mile? Fastest top speed? I can think of a few production cars that Rival the GTR's times. Ever heard of a the new 5.4 Supercharged mustang? Or maybe the new 6.2 liter corvette, camaro and cadillac CTS-v (all of which have superchargers)? Each one of these cars costs around $50k (maybe 60k at most) and all hit 11 seconds in the 1/4 mile

[ferrarikingdom]

two cars designed to corner on a 1/4 mile, hmmm that makes sense.

[chengitis]

wowwwwwwwwww, the LFA soundslike an F1

[Trx450rallday]

Corvette ZR1 would rape these crapanese cars. godzilla ain't got shit on KING KONG!!!

[ike000000]

fuck you youtube piece of shit

[TheWaffleSS]

Yeah bring the supra back! But honestly I don't think a 1/4 mile drag means crap, the GT-R can turn way harder then the LFA, but honestly it's down to peoples preferences

[graffkingsNBC]

I'm with this guy, bring back the supra!

[PaitPait1]

TOYOTA BRING BACK SUPRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mossyncamo]

lfa is just ugly, the back looks like a droopy eyed dog, and the front looks like an asian kid sucking on sour candy

[xRomeo999]

I would just get the gt-r. An all wheel drive car is hard to beat off the line stock. Horse power is nothing if you can't put it to the ground. Any real racer knows that.

[VyneBmxJR]

theres 2 now lol saw it last night when they presented it as a gift haha

[usnsailor20]

Nearly 100k for a high 11 second 1/4 mile car...pass. And 400k for one that's only a hair faster? For 20k you can build a car that's easily a low 11 second/high 10 second car. Crazy prices.

[CookJunkie]

@usnsailor20 Anyone can do that if you have the money, but the LFA isn't market towards that type of demographic. It's market towards the rich with a taste for supercars. They are both great cars I would love to have both of them, but if you were to give me a choice between the LFA or the GTR? I'd take the LFA. That's just me though. To each to their own.

[alex52184]

$400,000? NO BUENO, I WILL STICK WITH $90,000

[weiwei8899livemailtw]

V10 sounds sexy

[alexleeupton]

BUT LISTEN TO THAT NOISE!

[mdavid22]

Love of

Fast

Automobiles

That has to be LFA stands for!!!

[pirokun63]

I can't watch this because of pop-up commercial site, terrible

[Lokiito503]

3:01-3:10 Best part. " Or is it? "

[lewis8840]

I like both cars, but when you can get the GTR for under 100k and then put the stage 1 kit on it bumping it up to 700hp, spend another 300K on the LFA

[ryu1036]

400K???? fuck that. why not just buy a lambo aventador with that money

[scfog90]

400.000 against 85.000 haha!! Toyota still sucks.

[strangerindanger]

@scfog90 Do you often shop at walmart?

[SublimeOrange]

@scfog90 how said already CJAEY, and others adequate people - it's absolutely incorrect to compare those two cars.. Will you compare Ferrari 599 and Supra? Of cource fucking not!!! Will you compare Bentley Continental and Ford gt????? fucking no! LFA and GT-R is two amazing, but absolutely different things! Gt-r was made originally for fastest cornering, it's fast, it's reliable, it has 4 seats and boot, it's even expensive - stunning sports car! LFA - unique status-showing supercar

[SublimeOrange]

@scfog90 if you like - gtr was made to be great pal for burn-out, drag racing and cornering, it's an RACING icon. LFA it's not a racing car. It's just Lexus/Toyota attempt to make something iconic and nominal, like "Japan Aston Martin" or, I don't know, "Asian Ferrari", whatever. However, price could be 100k less, I think, but)

[piterken107]

@scfog90 TOYOTA ? HAHHAHA

[scfog90]

@piterken107 You should know that Lexus is owned by Toyota, so its Toyatas engineers working on the LFA!! HAHAHAHA about your comment!! Idiot

[JT1000RS]

@scfog90 but is more fast the lamborghini gallardo lp560-4 in the topgear test track, and have a tecnology playstation, so toyota is not sucks.

[WatcherofTapes]

@scfog90 400.000 vs 85.000 your using decimals separate cash values so are you saying

400 dollars vs 85 dollars. Also it seems your saying 400 dollars vs 85 dollars like if money was fighting.

[scfog90]

@WatcherofTapes wtf?? you smoke sth?? I dont if it seems like money would be "fighting". It a competition between two spotscars!! So gtfo

[BigBallsOfFarly]

This guy has the worst sounding accent in the world

[paparazzizi]

the LFA looks and sounds amazing!!!

But the heavy GT-R is still faster to 60mph...?!

and when you put a tuning into the gt-r, that he would have the same HP like the LFA, i guess the LFA would loose on the quater mile...

[powerFamosa]

Barely? Just like Vin Diesel said... WINNING IS WINNING

[ubitches420]

i want millions of dollars please god!

[ericnomics1]

4 wheel drive.....

[xtoad9]

WTF?!?! In the other motor trend video when they get 11 cars together, the GT-R beats every car in this race but the LFA is also in it!!!!!

[nyelement007]

@xtoad9

this is an old video motor trend didnt race the 2012 GTR vs the lfa let alone the GTR spec V

[TheRealFreshbee]

Lexus LFA? i bet LFA stands for Lookin' Fucking Awesome.

[DerrickKohlhorst]

there has been 2 years of improvements to the Gt-r since the 2010. Way to waste time Motortrend.

[foooock]

search for "World's Greatest Drag Race" on youtube and youll be surprised

[jweezyswag526]

I like the nissAHHn gtr

[16134R]

not bad for a v6. way to go, nissan.

[GamerToosmart]

as much as a fanatic of toyota I am. I would still buy a gtr and upgrade it. However give me that engine in the LFA and put it in a FT86 or AE86 man i can see fun. SOOOO how much for the Engine? lmao

[SuperRehank]

ok now putthis against the 400 grand gtr 2012 black edition

[saxjamin]

The Lexus looks more a Nissan then the Nissan. When you're spending that kind of money, the style should be MUCH more "supercar like". Of course, with the top Supercars (Bugatti and Aston One-77) costing $1million+++, the Lexus is more like "entry level" (LOL) Supercar...

[MrSoapsoclean]

and it barely beat the gtr

[MrSoapsoclean]

for 400 thousand lexus can go fuck themselves

[GalaxyTrigger82]

lets buy a gt-r put another 300 grand in modifications into it then well see who wins.

[ItsSanny]

$300,000 for half a car length?! Whoever buys this car is retarded.

[Drasnovia]

Makes sense...but in their ultimate drag race video they had 11 cars including these two and the GTR shit all over everything. The nissan driver in this one sucks, proven

[jdubin94]

Lets be real, if money wasn't an issue, we would all take the LFA. Its a much more beautiful car. And that sound. Don't get me started.

[BandLowBattery]

LFA is missing a stylish rear wing.

[CobraVerde601]

The biggest thing people need to realize is that you more than likely get more pussy when you roll up in a LFA than if you roll up in a GTR....THE END.

[fatty1443]

@CobraVerde601 no youd get more pussy in a lambo...

[mfuji02]

ok Now test it against the 2012 GTR :/

[javyrmz]

The lexus LFA is too expensive for what you are getting, the gtr does the same if not better for a lot less

[whodashit]

Can't wait to see a LFA vs Tony Stark's NSX drag race!

[BitchIAintStupid]

Gtr will 300k and the gtr will probably blow up...ok maybe not but it will have A LOT of problems

[vanillanigger]

@BitchIAintStupid Your name is ironic, because clearly you ARE stupid.

[WORSTEVERR]

Isn't it funny these GTR trolls trying to defend the GTR when the GTR was made for performance and the LFA was made to be exclusive. LOLLOLOLOLOL

[TheNakedasshole]

they are compare a 2012 Lexus LFA and 2010 Nissan GT-R,compare with 2012 GTR......lexus LFA owned!

[WORSTEVERR]

@TheNakedasshole Let us know when the GTR reaches 200 MPH please.

[skillzlibat]

the 2012 GT-R will eat that lfa

[eloyleyva]

in case yall cant read right i put ".1 second" on my comment look closer and you'll see that there is a space between those periods.

[ericleeSupSayK]

The one that owns an LFA can afford the GTR as well...so wtf does it matter?

[Thewhitenerd]

2012 vs 2012. then see what would happen. 300 grand? GTR!

[nguyentuan1990]

this car is worth more than my house

[Amaniswonsan]

Would anyone be kind enough to give me $400,000? I think I'd look good in a LFA :)

[DareMeTheCrazy]

The back reminds me of the Audi R8

[techjoe040669]

It's all about traction and attraction.

Speed and gurlz

[petaredrev]

Price really makes no sense, What if you bought a GT-R and spent the rest tuning it to the price tag of the LFA? That would be a rocket.

[elbradamontes]

ok this was one test... the 1/4 mile. I'm sure Toyota doesn't expect people to pay 400k for 1/4 mile times. I mean an ugly ass foxbody with 20k dumped in it would beat that. But that's not the point of this car. But I have a volvo so what do I know.

[espedid]

nobody ever talks about the fuel economy

[braindawgs9]

I bet the LFA would stomp the GT-R on the track, but if you dump 300k worth of mods in it, it would probably go 400mph!

[EpEdEmEC]

If i had the dinero for a LFA, i'd buy 4 GT-R's and give 3 to my closest friends and every Saturday we would play real world Gran Turismo :D

[72impalavert]

@EpEdEmEC Fucking genious do you have Facebook?

[CAptofDatAss]

@72impalavert Rofl, you must be a genius yourself, seeing as how you can spell so well. American public school education for the win!!

[72impalavert]

@CAptofDatAss Threat?

[superford500]

@EpEdEmEC can i be one of those 3 friends ? :D

[KGStud94]

@EpEdEmEC Forza is better :)

[raymanlegy]

@EpEdEmEC Get a 2012 GT-R : O fast and sexy woo

[PoorIllyrian]

gtr is around 80-100k in other side lfa is 400k come on

[aaaaflasd]

Guys, you would really only want the LFA if you had the money

[megaflex48]

i live in cleveland ohio we don't have the roads to support any car like these..lol

[2ultramax]

it is not 1 second difference it is 1 10th of a second for 300,000 more and the 2012 would stomp the lfa bad and if you send your gt-r to ams for 40,000 your gt-r will do low 9s in the 1/4 check out ams gt-r on youtube the 1500 hp gt-r is in the 8s

[tooblindtofinehome1]

$80,000 to $400,000

GTR: Getalookat That Rearend

[AntonyBrayley]

So, let's drop another 300K into the GTR, just to even things up a bit and see what it can do. Probably do the 1/4 mile in 6 seconds and by the time the race is over the LFA will be completely melted in the wake of the GTR's exhaust!!!

Or we can really simplify it and put the LFA up against the GTR Alpha 9. 0 - 60 in 2.6 seconds...

[sapporonotomotyan]

最新型のGT‐Ｒ だったら、もっとレスポンスたかかったのでしょうね。レクサスに­は、負けたくないです！

[chingchong9ify]

Of course its japanese

[XXXCompAssesXXX]

Do you have to be British to test cars on Youtube channels?

[livz4speed86]

once a nissan fan always a nissan fan

[javyrmz]

@livz4speed86 very true

[KoolKillerish]

i love the lfa

[SDkawi6]

I like GTR's but Fu** that LFA's exhaust sounds Fu***** AWESOME!!!!!!

[fanaruvalentin]

@SDkawi6 replace exaust system for gta and still got 300.00 $ for vacation

[SDkawi6]

@fanaruvalentin But it wont sound like that... that LFA screams!

[TheRajmeister]

Let's compare apples to apples here. In YT video rNT2UijpCMs the same MT guys run a 2012 GT-R against an '11 Corvette Z06 and an '11 Shelby GT500. Again, mixing years.

However, *THAT* GT-R finishes the quarter mile (at presumably the same track) in ***11.2*** seconds.

11.8 what?

[StaleGrungeMusic]

...inch ahead? its 3/4 a car ahead.

[djpat27]

@StaleGrungeMusic he must have said that by looking at the monitor, on a 20" its pretty close to an inch :P

[xKurogashi]

It's a shame that the launch control on the GT-R will fuck up your car after awhile, and then you gotta spend money to replace it. Ahh.. there's always a string attached.

[TheRajmeister]

@xKurogashi This from a tranny that's, what, 1/6 of the total cost of the car, too? Boo!

But I still love it....

[TroutFink]

Put bigger turbos in the GT-R and save yourself $250,000.

[juglaresco]

compare these two on the circuit... btw the nissan is nicest than the lexus and cheaper

[eloyleyva]

11.8 seconds and 11.9 seconds.... .1 second diffirence in the quarter mile but 300 thousand dollar diffirence in the price. the lexus LFA is the most beautiful car that lexus has ever made and the japanese really outdid themselves with that lcd screen. but the price diffirence is just insane i would take the GTR over the LFA any day

[EduWestCoastRap]

@eloyleyva it's not only about the price/performance relation, every car has a unique personality and objective

[niceboy60]

@eloyleyva the GTR is now on sale with 545hp (stock)

.

As the LFA was struggling to pass the OLD GTR with only 480hp

.

I have no doubt in my Mind the new GTR 545hp (stock) become much faster than the LFA

[izzelf]

@eloyleyva Question is, how much would you pay for a win.



[Weissman111]

@eloyleyva Don't you mean 0.1 seconds :-)

[ThePockie]

@eloyleyva - one second?

[Metaliclp]

@eloyleyva What you said is really interesting but it's 0.1 second :)

[yuri250333]

then how the fuck in the 11 car drag race did the fucking GTR win over the LFA the Italia the GT3 and the R8??? weirdly enough its done by autotrend and a quarter mile drag...!!!

[Reconcile100]

tsk tsk tsk.. ASIANS ARE GOING TO FAR!

[TheRajmeister]

@Reconcile100 Not damned far enough. I <3 my Godzilla. And I always will.

[GVK94]

but it lost in the 11 car drag race... hmm...

[JDMboldo323]

That a nice car

[dennisalbert98]

This video rocks



[jacob50566]

I'm prettty sure a stock 2011 mustang gt can run a 10 with just tires...

[TheFryingPan16]

I'm pretty sure the 2010 GT-R is the slowest. And the GT-R is much more liveable than the LFA

[BlackTintedWindows]

If you're an American who owns a Jap car - you should be ashamed and embarrassed

[surf1ife]

@BlackTintedWindows lol really man? most "JAP" cars employ more Americans that the big three

[BlackTintedWindows]

@surf1ife jap cars are embarrassing pieces of shit lol

[javyrmz]

@BlackTintedWindows american cars are worse. they need v8 to keep up with v6

[Behemoth413]

@BlackTintedWindows Thats why i cant wait for the new 2013 SRT Viper, its gonna be a beast! >:)

[antiqua100]

Fuck Toy and Datsun.

[johnnieares93]

GTR is the best!

[BlackTintedWindows]

Whoever buys an LFA got ripped off. The LFA is not worth more than 100K in parts - you're giving an extra 300K to some jap who's laughing at you for buying his stupid piece of shit

[BlackTintedWindows]

asian cars are all garbage

[Mafia2786]

Try doing that with the 2012 GTR and watch it rape that lfa
