LFA accident: Toyota Test Driver
as per Autoblog that I just read a few minutes ago. Horrible situation.

No offense, but I do see the LFA value increasing over the next few years now that the head test driver is no longer with us.

My prayers/sorrows are with his family and all associated.

Please explain how the death of this gentleman will increase the value of the car. You're comparing this to a work of art where the artist passing increases the value of the work.
Too many people contributed to the LFA for that to happen plus this is a car. Not a work of art.

On another note.....very interesting the LFA is not even out yet and they are already making special models to pilfer the pocket books of the vain and insane. I wonder if the special edition models are part of the 500 production run or an addition to those.

Oh man. So sorry to hear. Hate to see this happen to anyone. I truly hope he didnt feel a thing. Only thing to make this worse is if he suffered before he let go. My condolences go out to all involved.

Definitely a tragic situation. I found 2 pics of the crash, and yes there is a website just for crashed exotic cars. Hiromu Naruse will be missed, he also developed the all time great Toyota 2000GT.

My guess is heart attack or stroke... That impact looks very survivable as evidenced by the BMW driver/passenger
