Sisters boyfriends dad is the GM of Lexus. He brought this car home today and we looked at this video and the model numbers all matched up to the car here so I got a ride in this exact one you’re reviewing.That carbon fiber in and outside of the car is beautiful.

Like a ginsu knife. Cannot fathom why this was not used as a platform for the Supra. This is so much more in character with the original formula, vs what we got. Phenomenal car. Thanks for the video.

It's heavy,been out for a good long bit and no ones really pushed this platform,can't really keep up with its competition too well really at all anymore,and not really easy at all to get power out of. Compared to the current they really didn't have to use the RC chassis really cause of how fast and capable the current supras chassis is now.

2-3 years from now, it’ll be 40% off it’s original MSRP. Interior is a little weird and outdated. The exterior is aggressive and actually has nice performance/weight reduction parts. It’ll be a good lease car for sure.

I think it’s a well built, solid machine 👍

The exterior is terrific, but that rear "Boy Racer" spoiler is a big NOT FOR ME; so is all that headache inducing red inside. Everything else is AWESOME! As to the reluctance of using turbos by Lexus, I'm guessing that in a car offering super aggressive performance, a turbo or a supercharger may affect the longevity of the power plant. Unlike other supercar builders, (other than Porsche) Lexus obsesses about longevity of their vehicles. I think going to a 2 seater could be disastrous for sales. Not too many guys like me go for 2 door coupes, much less 2 seat coupes (Why I don't drive a Miata anymore). Watching you in that car on the track reminded me of that scene with Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal in the restaurant in "When Harry Met Sally"!😎
