The Lexus LFA would be my top pick for an over engineered car. They spent 15 years developing it and even had Yamaha tune the sound. Unfortunately by the time it was released, it was about 5 years out of date.

Ye 15 years lol it was kinda worth it I think if it didn’t take that long it would ent have the incredible sounding v10

[@solomoncollins3205]

It was Toyota biggest mistake but at the same time one Thier undying successful creation, for me they could have release the aluminum version at Detroit while working on next gen of it. Like Elon with Tesla the LFA could have been at the top and still make money back for the company .

[@lancercool1992]

Stop thinking it’s unfortunate, they never expected it to sell, the car was made to send a message, it did its job. I also doubt it really took 15 years to develop given the isf had to be developed by a small group of engineers using off work hours out of pure passion and keep the whole thing a secret from management, UNPAID. Then the LFA gets released 4 years after the gen 1 ISF? Hmm? The isf and gs are the true unfortunate ones to get axed because consumers can’t recognize a good car to save their lives.

[@nowthatscrazy]

As for the GTO. Being an owner of one myself i have to say it wasn't overengineered, it just had a ton of cool gimmics. Almost all gtos today have at least half of the tech broken or otherwise not working. Some people even say the tech like the AWS and Active Aero makes the car slower on track. Oh and the fact that some replacement parts are literally impossible to buy today. The only thing keeping these cars on the road is the small community driven aftermarket scene that produce and distribute parts at a premium

[@anonimous2451]

Yep, that is what happens to ANY high tech car. Because the suppliers of the parts stop making them. Electronics, while fancy and nice when new, can and usually do end up being the straw that broke the camel's back cause it'll break your damn wallet. I owned one for 3 months and got rid of it quickly. And the reason, it was the Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 AWD hard top convertible. One of the rarest cars ever made, but, I had a minor issue with a minor part that ended up being a damn nightmare. The car was a Blast to drive, held the road like cat's paws even in the snow and it had a very respectable collector market price. I sold it for 6k more than I got it for after a few engineering fixes. but I also knew those fixes would not last so I dumped it.

[@primeral]

Loved that retracting hardtop, though. Looks real great when it's sitting at the shop while it gets fixed, which is 92% of the time

[@dmitrijr7065]

I agree, it's a nice car, i've driven one as my wedding car. However it's very expensive to run, consuming up to 30L/100km and with rare and expensive spare parts. Half of the stuff on this car wasn't working either (Aircon, ABS, Active aero)

[@MrBioniclefan1]

The ls400 was an amazing car, it was reliable, comfortable and fast. May not seem like much but in 2008 I took my mom's 1990 ls400 down a super crappy back road doing 135 and I felt like goku doing that speed on what felt like a cloud. The car didn't stop pulling at 135, I chickened out. Mind you I was a teenager at the time. We would have kept the car but it started falling apart about 3 years later. I tried to keep it together but those parts where just too expensive. I still regret not having enough money to keep it. It will all be one of my favorite cars ever, design and quality were unmatched for it's time and the 2 decade plus that followed.

The Porsche 959 cost twice as much to develop & engineer than Porsche sold it for. The Lexus LFA was in development & engineered for a decade. I agree with you on the 1st gen Mitsubishi GTO too, it was so advanced & over engineered. I think the 3rd gen Honda Prelude 4WS was also a over engineered car because Honda designed it with a mechanical 4WS system, rather than the electronic version they put on later model's. It allowed the car to four wheel steer constantly rather than when the electronics would detect when it needs to. It allowed the car to have a faster slalom speed than any supercar or hypercar available, best thing is - to this day there has been no faults of the mechanical 4WS system that this gen Prelude has. The only other car's missing that was over engineered was the Saab 900 Turbo & McLaren F1. The McLaren's engine bay was lined with gold because gold was the best heat reflector available at the time & it was the first carbon fiber bodied car. It also still holds the highest top speed from a naturally aspirated car & set the record for the highest top speed on launch.

It was also sold for military use, but not exclusively, not even at the beginning in 1979. The military version in Germany (the Wolf) also has some differences, it has a 24 V electric system instead of the 12 V system of the civil version.

1990-91 Camry was a very over engineered car and a super car compared to what everyone else was offering at the time for family cars. For a good long time it was also the best bang for the buck on the used car market. Would still drive like a new car at 160k miles. Flawless bulletproof transmission. Body built like a tank. The new standard by which many mechanics would judge other cars. Mechanical magic.

@@comdrive3865 well, I could go down to the community college when I am vaccinated, and see about getting a team together from the mechanic side, and from web design classes to achieve such a thing. I would also like technology that can render a holograph of a car, make it interactive to show the process of a given repair or upgrade, and highlight in red any component that is not functioning properly. Such a system would make tuning and restoration accessible to even novices, once the price factor can be minimized.
