Abstract: Find your Lexus

To get the all-new, two-seater Lexus LFA supercar you not only have to have a whopping $350,000, you also have to pass a sort of "coolness test," the Huffington Post reports.

"We want people who will drive the car, who will be seen in the car.  We want it to be seen on the right roads, in front of the right restaurants and not just being enjoyed by one individual in their private garage," Paul Williamson, national manager at Lexus College, a dealer training school, told the Wall Street Journal.

In short, Lexus must "choose" you to drive the LFA, their top-of-the line car in the Lexus "F" portfolio. They pick owners based on criteria like other cars owned, where the person lives, and how often and where they drive, WSJ.com reports.

So what's so special about the LFA?  For one, only 500 cars will ever be produced (20 each month for 25 consecutive months). The car is also super-fast, accelerating from zero to 60 mph in only 3.6 seconds and can reach 202 mph.  It has a 10-cylinder, 552-hp engine, features a unique Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) cabin that makes it super-lightweight and can be customized in different colors and wheel designs...nydailynews.com  Find your Lexus!
