I've been waiting on AutoArt to come out with this.
The level of detailing on many of their 1/18th scale models is very impressive. I have several Lexus models by them. Very high quality diecast pieces.

With all due respect, I don't believe you are part of the target market for the LFA, nor do I think you know which market segment the LFA is competing in.
When it came out years ago, the Mercedes McLaren SLR had a higher price than the LFA (with lower performance), and I don't remember hearing too many complaints about that.

Werd.
Why is GTR compared to LFA?? LFA was created to compete against a completely different class. The driving experience, nimbleness, agility and responsiveness is incomparable. Everything in the car has a "no-compromise" approach. Heck, even the LFA's engine costs more than the entire Nissan GTR.
Yeah, LFA is not worlds faster than GTR and a GTR could be modifed to be quicker than LFA in a straight line for less especially being a turbo car, but so could just about any turbo car on earth since turbos are to engines what steroids are to muscles. I know people with Evo X and $20K dumped into their car that can destroy stock GTR for way less so what is the point??
Reading the Evo magazine "best car of the year" explains it very well that '12 GTR and LFA are completely incomparable since they were built with different philosophies that can only be experienced by people who actually drive them.

You might want to keep an eye out for a 1/24the scale model kit by Tamiya as well. Complete with engine detailing,

I have to find the time to put it together, but when I do, expect a thread for it.

I got mine last week, but I still haven't unboxed it. It'll look nice next to the AutoArt LFA prototype model Lexus/Japan gave me on my factory tour, which is already next to the laser-etched crystal block that Lexus/USA sent.
Just FYI, what they really mean on the website is that they are pre-ordering for batch deliveries. Apparently they will take orders and ship them all out at some time in the future (I waited about 2 weeks for mine). I know a lot of people got them in shipments before mine as well.
