Okay, let's make one thing clear—there probably isn't anything called a 'cheap' Supercar. In America, any new mid-engined Ferrari 458 Italia or a Lamborghini Gallardo would still retail for over USD 300,000.00 (or over half a mil in Australia, thanks to our taxes!). In other words, buying even a small supercar can be the same spending that amount of money on an average-priced house.Moreover, servicing these beautiful works of art can cost the same as a Honda Civic or a Toyota Corolla—so why am I calling these cars cheap?
Well, that's because they are.The most expensive cars in the supercar or the hyper-car royalty can cost upwards from $700,000 to over a million or even beyond (like the Bugatti Veyron and the Pagani Zonda), so I'll be focusing my article on the 'poor man's supercar' i.e. One who doesn't have a million quid to splash on hypercar royalty, but can part ways with half a million, is tad bit concerned about fuel-consumption and would like to look dignified while getting in and out of his car (and won't mind parking it in public). As Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear UK put it, 'I wonder why did McLaren name their car after a fax machine.' Quite frankly, I don't understand it either. But nevertheless, McLaren's direct rival to the 458 has shown the world that they can still churn out a serious machine for the race-connoisseur who's not really interested in 'posing' or flashing a brand name but prefers what can possibly be technically sound.
The MP4-12C is McLaren's 2nd road-car after the McLaren F1 (the supercar which defined the 1990s) and the SLR (jointly built with Mercedes) so they had to ensure they gave it their best when releasing the usually difficult 'third album'.The MP4-12C is a shade quicker and lighter than the 458 (Thanks to a 3.8 Litre Twin-Turbo V8 instead of the 458's 4.5 L V8) and also boasts daily-driving practicality but being mated to softer suspensions. The McLaren also has stylish butterfly doors and is available in striking colour combinations (most notably the signature McLaren Orange-Metallic) and the cockpit layout is more accessible and refined than the Ferrari's.Performance-wise, the MP4-12C can do 0-200 KPH in under 10 seconds; however, despite its pluses, any supercar enthusiast might say that it lacks the 'raw' factor that bellies any Ferrari or Lamborghini.Like the Ferrari 458 Italia, the MP4-12C is available as a hard-top or a soft-top convertible and is available in a wider choice of colours than the 458. Okay, so it might not be the cheapest compact supercar around, but it definitely has been the most striking in recent times, especially when one realizes that this is a car which took almost 9 years to produce since it was conceptualized and that the company which made it was known for its stylish and clinical looking family cars.The LFA was a very limited edition super-car (only a handful were sold in a handful of markets—Australia only received 20) and Lexus actually lost money on building each and every model of it despite its ridiculous asking price (over $700,000 AUD Down Under). In fact, this was Japan's first proper re-entry into the super-car market since Honda stopped building the NSX in 2005So what made the LFA so special? Well, part of it was the sheer mechanics and the construction of it. The LFA has almost no steel in its body—the whole car is almost entirely made out of Carbon-fiber and each 4.8 Litre V10 is hand-built.The LFA was also known to be one of the best handling super-car in its class (capable of out-maneuvering even a Ferrari 458 or a Lamborghini Gallardo) but was a bit shy in straight-line acceleration to 100 KPH.Nobody really knows how Lexus did it, but the fast-revving 4.8 Litre V10 in the LFA was so fast that they had to replace a traditional rev-counter with dials with an electronic one. An extremely futuristic exhaust and cockpit ensured that the LFA was literally a car that was one of a kind and anyone lucky enough to be able to afford and buy it was indeed buying and preserving a piece of unique art and history.The LFA is no longer produced, however, there's a chance one could still buy one from a resale at a competitive price (as long as they're willing to explain to anyone why their Lexus is so different and radical from any other Lexus people might be familiar with).
