The 2012 Lexus LFA is certainly one car that’s not hard to notice. However, combine it with a supermodel wearing nothing but a skimpy swimsuit and you’ll pretty much have everyone’s attention--well, maybe just half of everyone’s attention. That’s exactly what appears...

Unadulterated, bombastic carbon-fiber insanity--the current Pagani Zonda and its several variants are the embodiment of what it is to be a supercar. But sadly, the car was never officially sold in the U.S. and only a handful have made their way here under special Show and Display rules. That...

If you thought the $375,000 asking price for the 2012 Lexus LFA was outrageous enough, you would certainly have been gobsmacked by the announcement of the LFA Nurburgring Package, which adds an extra $70,000 to the pricetag. We will finally get to see what all the fuss is about, with Lexus...
