The car makes sense at half the price because the performance numbers match those of cars that cost around that, at least straight-line figures. Legitimate track times are yet to be seen, which is where the focus is at. However, the numbers don't tell you a lick on what it's like to drive or what the driver experiences behind the wheel or about its construction. Everyone likes to compare the numbers to price and every car is more than just that. I agree with your second paragraph and wished Lexus would make it more accessible to the average supercar buyer.

Even the new Lamborghini LP700-4 is twice as fast, not to mention the MP4-12C and 458 Italia that are twice as fast for half the cash.
The single clutch tranny is the achilles heel of the LF-A.

isn't it a little early to be producing special editions?

And for the record i don't understand all the hate for this car, i think its an outstanding package, albeit priced on the high side.

The "its a lexus" arguments are of no value at all.

It would be a great car if it had a dual-clutch transmission and was priced competitively.

For less than half the price Id go with one of those old technology cars, what are they called? Oh yeah the 911 Turbo.
