Zedrush Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Not sure on the price, but they say the LF-a will be over 200mph, IMO I really cant see the Lexus giving Nissan any problems in sales, depending on price and launch dates. What do you guys think? Im wondering if there is any competition there at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zedrush Posted December 2, 2007 Author Share Posted December 2, 2007 Just saw read up on this one and thought hmm wonder if it will give GT-R any problems, highly doubt it looking at the specs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 ...only in the looks stakes. The LF-A was possibly the most stunning car I saw at Geneva this year. Photos really don't it justice. The detailing is exquisite. No way it will be as focussed or capable as the Nissan though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must admit it does look stunning but a 5litre engine thats slower than a 3.8 litre engine, Id rather save on fuel and pay for a 3.8 and be quicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lotuscc Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Looks great! Sounds amazing!!! Shame it will be way out of my price bracket, price will be higher than GT-R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but 2 litre to 3.5 litre is not big difference. 3.8litre to 5 litre v10 is huge difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl114 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 One is turbo, one is not, hence the smaller displacement. The GT-R will have better fuel economy when not in turbo or not booting it, whereas the Lexus, probably will be a lot worse all around due to the fuel needed to pump into the engine. It depends what you want, good fuel economy and looks, or bad fuel economy and look. Personally, i would take the GT-R over the Lexus.

Exactly, its how it drives and delivers the power, along with the overall performance set up, that being everything from power in rev ranges to suspension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
