Civilisations have risen and fallen, continents have shifted, Bruce Forsyth has celebrated the big one-triple-zero... and finally the Lexus LF-A is nearly here.
The 550bhp V10 supercar will debut in Tokyo next week, with a price tag somewhere in the £330,000 region.
Erm, yes. £330,000. That's quite a bit of cash for something that ostensibly rivals the McLaren MP4-12C-38DD-thing and Ferrari 458 Italia.
Then again, it does sound Really Quite Good, as this video of the track-spec LF-A in action at Motorsport Japan 2009 proves.
Turn up your speakers and enjoy the sound of a big angry Japanese V10 getting snarly on the overrun and then let us know - are you finally letting yourself get excited about the LF-A?
And, as a side point, don't you think it looks just a bit... twitchy on the limit?

Sounds good, just not sure what I think of the way it looks, just doesn't look like a 250k super car to me.

It looks good, it sounds even better, but why does this thing cost 330.000??

I was there in person, standing on the opposite side - I can honestly say I wasn't impressed. Then again, a Super GT race spec GT-R had just laid waste to tires (and my ears) immediately before, so I might not have been hearing clearly...
