Lexus LFA CFRP High-end Carbon Fiber Manufacturing
I can see how the high-end carbon fiber manufacturing used to make the LFA is going to pay off in the future, at the moment Lexus actually loses money on each LFA that they sell, but you can see how the R&D data that are collected will be useful in future light weight cars.

Lexus LFA Carbon Fiber Hood, only $16,005
There's only 500 LFA's so I guess they have to make their money back somehow, I called the Lexus dealership to see what the cost of an LFA hood is, it's much cheaper than the AMG SL65 Black Series, the Lexus dealer quoted me $16,005 for the hood.
