A Little late since we So Cal residents have seen the car in person at a local Car Meet. Car is pretty crazy but the real questions comes down to production. Too many rumors of what motor will be in the FT-1

You Cali guys get ALL the fun!

It's another Japanese supercar, so I'd expect it to hit somewhere near or more than GT-R pricing.

I can imagine the price being pretty high...look at the overpriced LFA. Two diff cars, yes, but knowing Toyota, they tend to overprice most of their cars/trucks/suv and maintenance.

Awesome car, but sadly it will be overpriced. Historically thats Toyota's thing. Compare their current trucks to the domestic competition as far as pricing. Go back and rememember how much a sw20 Mr2 turbo was back when it was new, it was in the 30k range. The supra TT as well, it was up there over the 40k mark.
I will own this car in maybe in 15 years when it becomes affordable, lol

I saw that too.

The interior should shut down all the "better interior" arguments by a certain breed of fanboys.
