I don't see Lexus changing it's name. but it's possible Toyota might revive the Supra with a bigger engine and handling characteristic similar to this car now that they have some experience. they're not stupid. a lot of people want this car but can't afford it so a revive Supra might be an affordable alternative.
Will this car as-raced pass USA state vehicle inspection requirements? Before the Viper gets pissed on, bear in mind that it passes California state requirements for a street-driven car, which are the most restrictive (constrictive) specs in the USA. the zr1, also, was timed with no after-purchase modifications. What about the LF-A? Anyone? To me it sounded like it had no exhaust muffler, which all by itself disqualifies it from any Viper/Corvette comparison.
They need Keiichi Tsuchiya or Orido to drive this car. They will push it to the edge! Lida is too safe! Why did they name the Toyota president Akio Toyoda 'Morizo' in the video?
@dominicancheif117 this car will never kill the zr1 because the corvette has more hp more torque a higher top speed better acceleration and is only a third of the price
@hemanhutch30 i know if you look i wrote that 1 year ago i thought it would be much faster but now i know it can barely beat the Nissan gtr in a quarter mile
@hemanhutch30 Are you sure about that as the LFA killed Corvette Audi Aston Martin in the Nurburgring 24 hour race this year.The LFA has a better HP to weight Ratio than the ZR-1 aswell.
They did better this year. The cars were really fast (fastest in class) but had reliability issues. 1 LF-A crashed and was out for more than 6 hours then it had to go back for repair at the end of the race. The other LF-A faired better reliably but went in close to the end for repair as well. 80th - something over all.
What does a Japanese driver in a Japanese car when he wins a race at the Nordschleife? -He turns off his Sony Playstation

idk LFA is a beast, but they got some work to do if they want to break the top ten. The GTR and the ZR1 will be tough to beat
