Sub-zero. I was fortunate enough to see and be under a Nurburgring edition. It is incredible. The only one in the world with its shade of red. I love that car and I can't believe some people have said anything below cool.

Easily sub-zero. In my opinion it's the best sounding Japanese production car of all time. 4.8L V10 that revs to 9200rpm!

Lexus actually lost money building it because everything was more expensive than the base $375,000 price tag.
If you've never read this, I encourage you to. It's an awesome read about this car. http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/201...in-5-chapters/ Last edited by husker741; 10-03-2013 at 01:22 PM. |

I don't like giving a sub-zero rating to anything of this price range, but this is just way too cool.

The V10 A NASCAR engine need to be rebuilt. Those engines have cycles where they tear em apart and rebuild them. Well, at least they did back when i knew about NASCAR. 10 years ago.

It looks like the car is being built for Drift in which case they should have put a LS in it. At least one FR-S drifter went with the TRD V8 initially and then switched to the LS. It is simply a better, tried and true torque monster.
