Lexus rightfully ranks among the world's genuine luxury brands, but selling a performance supercar at this price is something else altogether. First of all, it's nearly quadruple the price of the next most expensive Lexus. Beyond that, Lexus is far better known for giving buyers a quiet, gentle ride than for awesome racetrack performance.
Of course, that's part of the point here. Lexus, which now has an "F" performance line, wants to let the world know what its engineers can really do when they set their minds to it. Provided you give them enough money, that is. The over-the-top expense pays for scads of expensive carbon fiber in the body and a big powerful, hand-built engine.
If you want to pony up and buy one, you're probably too late. Lexus only promised to build 500 and all the ones eligible for the sale in the U.S. have been spoken for. Rumor has it that a second generation may be on the way, but Toyota's not confirming any such plans.
