I wouldn't like to see the LFA go up against the 2012/2013 GTR... Can't deny the GTR is a blisteringly quick car off the line!

The Lexus dealership on William Nicole had a white one a few weeks back when I passed there.

My guy at Lexus says there are about 5 in South Africa, the one in Midrand, so nice, not a big fan of the red color, but what a car

Was just at the shops in Kempton and a guy in a BMW pulls up next to me and asks, what Toyota is this? Still loving the exclusivity... Perhaps Toyota was clever to brand it just "86" in ZA as the lack of badges mystifies everyone... He then said, "but which one is the bigger one?"...

LFA's little brother for sure!

You from Kempton? If so you might be the reason I decided to buy my car. Was sitting at Mimos now early December and a black 86 pulled in...

Actually I just work in Kempton but it could have been me. There is another black/grey 86 knocking around in Glenmarais I have been told.

The one I saw was quite loud! Either he had an aftermarket zort system or mine is just still very tight / stiff...
