Default Evo magazine takes LFA out on the streets of UK

Hopefully this is not a repost. Enjoy!

Just watched the video and I completely agree with the reviewer. He sums it up very well about its pricing too.

I can only dream about owning one of these. May be it will come true one day.

Stig thanks for posting, we will try this one more time.

Let me warn in advance.

1. Comment on the article. If you are not going to read it, don't post.
2. This is not your thread to rant about the LFA, we have seen plenty of threads with it and there is a sticky up top to do it. This is not a thread to just brag on the LFA either.
3. Please read a members response before blindly responding
4. No personal attacks, keep it on the topic.

From the video around the 1:45 mark.

"Don't get hung up on the price, lets forget the price for a minute because you can argue certain people in the marketplace don't even look at price they just want something that is rare and special. This car is rare and is very VERY special. I don't want to be booged down by "its 6 times more than a GT-R" that's simplistic. Yes it is not 6 times the car the GT-R is of course it isn't NOTHING is 6 times the car the GT-R is. The Veyron is certainly not 12 times the car the GT-R is its not possible to be it".

"It feels so special"

"It is absolutely brilliant"

"Its about as clever as Lexus sensibleness and Lexus build and just supercar specialness as I could have imagined or hoped for".

"the throttle has instant response"

"the last V-10 I've driven that feels like this is the Carrera GT engine (Porsche). This is much more specialized race car feel engine than either the Audi, Lamborghini, Audi V-10s, it feels much much sharper"

Oh and he is completely smitten by the noise

I watched the video, I too agree with what he said. He did seem to sum it up well, I did like how he mentioned what was good and he wasn't afraid to tell what he thought wasnt
