That car has 560HP and has a carbon fiber frame. I bet the power to weight isn't bad.

GT-R is faster, the LF-A doesnt put down the numbers a 400,000 car should, then again the GT-R is a bargain supercar

Even bench racing, the GT-R has no chance in a straight line. None. Nada. Zilch.

The GT-R is no more a marvel than a Evo-X; the technologies behind the two are arguably very close. One just happens to have a lot more power, and better aerodynamics.

The LF-A's engineering is on a whole different level. I can understand your point of view about the cost; I said the same thing until I learned more about the car's technical aspects. The cost is more than justified. If I had the opportunity between choosing this and a similar cost exotic, I'd likely be choosing the LF-A (assuming of course, it has an appropriate optional suspension)

You can just TT a Gallardo for around the same price. Guess who wins then.

The LF-A's 0-60 is 3.7 and the GT-R is 3.3 to 3.5, so if your talking about bench racing, id take the GT-R. Plus id save about 300,000 and get myself a Ferrari too : )

Take that lambo to the track and see which one last longer, a TT lambo is just for show and to say you have it

Still. LF-A is not that great. The new Mclaren is cheaper and better.

Maybe not at a track, but in a straight line Gallardo is faster. I am talking about the new Mclaren in comparison with the LF-A
