For those of you complaining about dealers charging over $90,000 for the 2009 Nissan GT-R, you might not want to stop your yelling and screaming. When Lexus’s GT-R rival hits dealerships it will carry a price tag over $200,000.

And by over, we mean $25,000 over. According to Ben Mitchell, corporate product planning manager for Lexus, pricing of for the upcoming Lexus LF-A “will begin with a two.” Other Lexus sources in Japan have told InsideLine that pricing may be as high as $225,000.

The roadster version of the Lexus LF-A that we saw at the Detroit Motor Show will cost even higher. So that means the Lexus LF-A costs more than the 483-hp 2007 Ferrari F430 Spider which costs $211,525. Not to mention more than Lamborghini’s latest baby, the LP560-4, which tops at around $213,000.

Power for the Lexus LF-A is said to come from a 5.0L V10 producing some 500-hp with a top speed of 200mph.

    Lexus is stupid if they put this into production. they will lose alot of money on this car alone. their will be dozens of them at dealerships just sitting there. performance is no where near a GT-R, yet this is being priced almost 150K more than that car. WOW.

    first, it hasnt come out yet so pricing is not yet confirmed at 225k, and second, do you remember the supra? fyi they never made any money on those sales but it was still proffitable for them to produce them. Why? it was bassicaly a marketing plan, kinda like an advertisement for the brand/toyota image… and yes it was a succesful plan
