Default Lexus LF-R - The Successor to The LFA

We should open up a group, or just continue this thread with any news, updates, spy shots and rumors on the upcoming supposed LF-R. This is a really exciting vehicle if Lexus ends up producing it...pic for attention.

How do you even do that, if the vehicle hasn't even been confirmed yet?

My dealer said their GM had a meeting and discussed it, and they confirmed the owner of the dealership group is going to be first in the line. I told my contact to make sure I'm second haha, I have been hounding my contact at the dealer about an LFA replacement for the last few years

Which dealer is this, if you don't mind me asking? I will try with my dealer, otherwise, I'll do my best to go direct to Lexus Corp.

Any idea on pricing (or range for pricing)? Does this mean it's confirmed? When are they announcing it?

Mary Margaret, text her and mention that Ricky gave you the number, she's at west side lexus

I mentioned it'd be half a million or so, she didn't reply, I don't think pricing is out yet

If you take my spot I'll be very angry

At half a million, it's hard for me to make a deposit on that without knowing much on the vehicle, I was expecting Porsche 911 Turbo S pricing - $250K. I'll just have to wait, as apparently they will be announcing more information at the upcoming Tokyo Auto Salon in January. Fingers crossed!

I have the same question... The vehicle doesn't even have a production date yet, so how are they even entertaining early inquiries?

Huge difference between a fancy vw beetle, and a ultra fancy corolla

So can we confirm that the upcoming LFR will be more expensive than the original LFA price?

No idea, my number of half a mil is my own personal estimate

I would NOT be surprised if it's more expensive

Anymore than half a mil would make me reconsider, lots of really really cool cars at that price point

I heard from my salesperson, he said there are two cars coming, one is the fully electric around 1400hp, and the other is twin turbo V8 hybrid. Looks like we will have two super car from Lexus in the near future.
