imagine if the nissan r390 was actually was sold to the public instead of just building a road version so they could qualify for the lemans. The price tag on that was 1 million dollars.
i doubt toyota will make any money on this car, moreso to get itself further into the racing game, thats my guess.

i haven't been following the car, but i think it's pretty safe to assume that this car isn't being marketed to people who think 12k a month is an insane amount to spend on a car. in fact i'm pretty confident that no one who posts on this board makes 12k a month, period... they're only making 500, that should tell you something.
and no, toyota is not ferrari. but manufacturers like toyota probably don't make cars like this to turn a big profit. i'm not completely sure why they build them, but i would imagine the lfa is not intended to be toyota's cash crop. it's more of a 'look what we can do' thing... the logistics of which i'm not real sure of, not being in the auto-making industry. so yeah, at first glance this looks completely insane... but then again, i can't wrap my head around the costs involved with fielding an f1 team, but many manufacturers do it, and only one of them wins each year...
