Behind The $400K Wheel Of The Lexus LFA


Our own Wes Siler is in Miami today test driving Toyota's new hotness, the Lexus LFA. He's still enjoying it, but look for our first drive tomorrow. For now, drool over live track shots and the technical presentation below.

2011 Lexus LFA


The 2011 Lexus LFA isn't the fastest car ever made, nor the most powerful or even the quickest to 60 MPH. It can't even match the ZR1 around the Nürburgring. So why will this Toyota cost nearly $400,000?

SUBARU


Why We Wish Subaru Was In NASCAR
If Subaru were in NASCAR, we can only hope they'd use the GT300, a 2009 Super GT-ized Legacy B4 offspring, as its "stock car." Also, we'd hope this would be their pit crew. Oh, the car?
