Damn - sorry, i think every time i wrote your name - i made a mistake

[Akimbo]

Wouldn't count on us seeing. I think the Lexus IS-F is gonna bomb.

[creis]

has lapped the Nurburgring in 7 minutes and 24 seconds, slashing the current record time of 7 minutes and 27 seconds set by the Pagani Zonda F.

the record is really that slow, in gt4 my evo (500hp) took a 7 flat. I though the record was 6 something.

cool though it will help toyota since lexus is toyota and if it ends up selling well it can spawn additial performance cars under the real badge.

There are different records for different types of cars. There are records under 7minutes, but you could never drive those legally on the road; or they're ridiculously expensive super cars.

wow the Bugatti Veyron only runs a 7:40.

[Consynx]

i HATE the conversation going on in that post.
too many close minded retards AND(not both, but another group) people that post only to cry boohoo.

the comment that was something about 'anything toyota is not fun' was the dumbest combination of words said in what i read...
that and a price range of 120-250k, lol
what a range.
can u change designs, body materials, engine types and designs? still such a concept and...arrr, annoying

i am glad that it ran such a good time. being that Lexus and Toyota are essentially one in the same, i can only hope it means that the LF-A's engineers help in the build of the FT-HS

[MaskedMan]

Well this is great, however the record can't really be official yet since the LF-A isn't yet a production vehicle. As long as the LF-A remains a concept, the record can't really be counted until it's release.

The IS-F has gotten a lot of interests among Lexus owners and people in general. Ofcourse it's a bold move to go with a performance model in a luxury line such as Lexus, but I believe it gives it a much better, more mature name than releasing it under the Scion label, as the Scion make is aimed towards the younger crowd, many older clients (who are actually able afford the car) may feel deterred from purchasing. Even with the release of the LF-A, there is still a Toyota Supra concept (and will most likely always remain a concept). People are right to say that Toyota has basically lost all it's performance image as of right now, but calling them stupid for what they've done is not very accurate. Unless you think it's stupid to be one of the best selling car companies today. Ok off topic. Yay LF-A.
