I just hope this is a preproduction car, better than crushing it I guess ......

Simply gets props for being different and a one-off. That said this LFA has been bastardized. Long live the OEM V10! Excuse me while I dumpster dive

Drifting is getting so old, nothing is new.

They need to start an exotic drifting series where they drift exotic and hyper cars with nothing but screaming V8, V10 and V12..............that would renew the interest

Some cars are just not meant to be modified, only meant to be driven and enjoyed. LFA is one if them. Pretty sad to see a car like that ruined.

LFA V10 lack torque for drifting. The V8 is better. The thing about it is that is that in a car like the LFA the V8 has little impact on balance. I think it is just more exciting to see an exotic in racing, especially in drifting. I think Rolls-Royce should also participate in drifting.

I called it, after this LFA drift car from Imamura, the latest rumor is Daigo Saito will be drifting this Liberty Walk Murcielago in D1GP, or possibly this 456 GT also.

Let the exotic drifting/trashing begin!

No need to dumpster dive, that V10 is junk from flood damaged.

I called it, this thing is a totaled flood damaged junker, just the chassis is being recycled into a stripped down drift car, make perfect sense.

That explained the engine swap too.

I don't think anyone in their right mind would do this to a perfect example.
