    Since 2006 Audi has made almost 10,000 R8s and is still producing. Im sure they are making a bunch of GT-Rs. It's not like this is an Enzo.

    It sort of is. They're limiting it to 500 now. Though I'm sure if they sell out all 500, they'll make more.

    When manufacturers release production numbers before the car is even being sold like this they want to let customers know it will be something rare. So they won't produce more because they would piss off the first customers who thought they were getting something extremely rare. They could come up with a new version though.

    Actually it is so try again. The AUdi R8 shares its engine with the RS4 and the V-10 with the Gallardo and is priced MUCH cheaper than this car. This is completely bespoke from the ground up. I would like a link to your CLAIM of 10k sold.

    Although the car is extravagantly expensive, Lexus says it will lose money on every one. We believe it. The last car that incorporated a similar level of technology, performance, and exclusivity was the $650,000 Ferrari Enzo. At $350,000, the LFA begins to look like something of a bargain.

    LFA is an exotic, two-place, front-engine, rear-wheel-drive coupe. The chassis and body are made largely of carbon-fiber composite, just like those of an Enzo or a Mercedes SLR McLaren. Per Lexus’s scales, the car weighs 3263 pounds—less than a Corvette ZR1.
