Whats the point of this car? You could probably budget build a supercar that twice over spanks that thing for a quarter of the price.

I thought the specs would be far more impressive than that.

ROFL 3500lbs? Hahahaha after all that time wasted on the carbon fiber and it almost weighs at much as my camaro.... hahahaha
Well, they have spend 10 years on the thing. If it had a normal development time, it would have been out 5 about years ago and been somewhat more impressive, and maybe less costly too (but no way would it ever have dipped under $150k).

The point, I think, is to go and show the world 'hey, lookie what we can do'. Not the smartest way I can think of to waste a decade and hundreds of millions of dollars ...

No kidding, look, we can fail at setting the bar in any way shape or form.

I agree with you though, 5 years ago it would have been a bit more impressive.

The smart thing for them to do, if this is the same as what they had initially planned on, would have been to increase the performance somehow. Bigger displacement, forced induction, hybrid? Something.

Oh well, as a Toyota hater, I hope they spend countless millions more developing the 2021 LFA
