They say good things come to those who wait. In the case of the 2012 Lexus LFA, not only is that saying true, but it’s also punctuated with a rev of a 552hp 4.8-liter V10 engine. The LFA, which originally debuted in 2010 and (quickly sold out in 2011) is the Japanese automaker’s answer to the supercars of Audi (the R8) and Mercedes (SLS-AMG) and exotic brands such as Ferrari and Porsche.

Comprised of carbon-fiber, titanium and aluminum, the lightweight two-seater clocks 0-60mph in 3.6 seconds and has a top speed of 202mph. But if you want to pony up to one of these, act fast and have some serious cash as there will only be 500 2012 production models made, each with a sticker of $375,000.
