Of course this will be faster than a 599. This should not even be in question.
Yes, it will also be faster than the GT-R. I'm sure of it.
As for specs, I think there is something not right. Some of the specs don't make sense, so let's wait for official production car specs. For example, is 1500kg curb weight, or weight including the driver?

Wow I hope there is a GS-F with the same engine, and they should keep the engine the way it is without deforcing it cuz the RS6 and next M5 are around 600 horses. No way I could ever have a LF-A but another car with the same engine and a price for mortals could be in reach one day!

I would like to see Lexus shoot for hp/L benchmarks instead of just horsepower numbers. If they can knock the GS F down to 3800lbs or less, it would be more fuel efficient, more maneuverable (lighter), and quicker with less horsepower. The M5 other super sedans are fat pigs which means they require 600hp to get the job done.
If so I agree. Lexus needs to go back to having the lightest car in it's class, for ALL it's models. Add lightness. Right now you don't need to add much power.

Look at around 3300lbs after its correctly weighed which is pretty much average for its class.

The GS-F was confirmed with the same V-10 engine, but slightly less horsepower.
Lexus of Bridgewater already had a waiting list for the LF-A and some Lexus dealership down the shore has theirs filled. i guess that means their only allowed to bring in a certain amount

The price has ballooned and is rumored to be anywhere from $275K-$400K. 
Interesting info, with say 200 or so coming to the U.S., some may be spoken for already...
