Toyota GR GT Prototype vs Lexus LFA — Toyota's Supercar Past and Future in FH6
Two Toyota supercars separated by over a decade. The Lexus LFA is the naturally aspirated V10 icon — 552hp, 9000 rpm redline, and a sound engineered by Yamaha to rival F1 cars. The GR GT Prototype is Toyota's future vision — a front-engine V8 hybrid concept previewing the next generation of Japanese supercar performance. In FH6, both are special. One is legendary. The other is what comes next.
The LFA needs no introduction — it's arguably the greatest naturally aspirated V10 road car ever built, with a carbon fiber chassis developed over a decade and an engine that revs so fast an analog tachometer couldn't keep up. The GR GT Prototype is the spiritual successor — previewed as a concept, destined for production as a Lexus halo car with a front-mid-engine layout and GT3 racing ambitions. In FH6 they deliver two completely different flavors of Toyota excellence.
Lexus LFA — The V10 Legend
552hp 4.8L V10, 9000 rpm, carbon chassis — Toyota's billion-dollar supercar statement.

Verdict
The GR GT Prototype is the faster car — modern hybrid tech, more power, and better lap times. But the LFA is the car you'll never forget driving — that V10 sound, the analog feel, the sense that you're piloting something genuinely historic. If lap times are what matter, get the GR GT. If the experience matters more than the numbers, the LFA is irreplaceable. The LFA is the car you buy for the weekend drive you'll remember forever. The GR GT is the car you buy to win races tomorrow.
How to Get Each
Lexus LFA: 500,000 CR. Expensive, but it's an LFA.
Toyota GR GT Prototype: 250,000 CR. Concept car bargain.

Which Should You Buy in FH6?
The answer depends on what you're building your garage for. If you're building for Horizon Open competitiveness, check the current meta rankings before spending credits — the meta shifts with each seasonal update and a car that was S-tier last month might be B-tier now. If you're building for driving enjoyment, go with the car that has the more engaging driving character. Check the auction house before buying from the autoshow — many of these cars appear as seasonal rewards and can be 30-50% cheaper on the secondary market. For both cars, budget at least 80,000-120,000 CR for a full upgrade path to their competitive class. A half-built car is worse than a well-tuned car one class lower. The most important factor is how the car fits your driving style — some cars reward aggressive driving, others need smooth inputs. Test drive both in a Rivals event before committing to a build. Five laps in each car will tell you more than any spec sheet can.
