With two seats; a low, edgy supercar profile; and a high-revving V-10 engine; the front-engine, rear-wheel-drive LFA is unlike anything that Lexus has ever produced. It's a unique take on an exotic car--and almost like a Formula One race car--yet with Toyota's reputation for reliability and durability behind it, it's bound to be less trouble, to keep maintained and repaired, than Italian exotics.
The LFA starts at about $375,000, which is only a fraction of what some other image-building supercars have totaled. But as with other exotics, its true worth will be determined by exclusivity and demand.
