I don’t see it being a V10 if they made a new one again. Possibly a high really high revving hybrid inline 6 or something along those lines. I don’t know if a LFA is necessary anymore with LC-F set to debut within 24 months with at least 600hp. The LFA would have to be really light and have at least 800hp to really get enthusiasts interested in writing a big check.
Bring it back, but I'm going to barf if they added the ugly grille.
Maybe if it's inspired by the one from the LC would be better. It's still the best version of the LFA-style grill yet.
That said, I think having such a grill would be unnecessary on an LFA, but then again, as a front-engined vehicle, perhaps they would justify it for additional cooling capacity.

The Spindle grille is not about cooling capacity; it is about brand identity, just as the Audi Singleframe grille, the BMW twin kidneys grille, the Mercedes-Benz radiator grille, the Alfa Romeo inverted triangle grille, the Infiniti pinched-shape grille and the new Acura grille are about instantly identifying those brands.
Get used to it. No one now complains about the large Audi grille (I remember there were a lot of complaints when it was first introduced) and nobody complains about Alfa Romeo's sour puckerface grille.
I admit that the early spindle grilles looked tacked on but the latest ones, on the LC, LS and ES look much more integral to the whole car.

The latest Acura grilles are toned-down somewhat from those notorious parrot-beaks they had for years.....perhaps the most in-your-face ones were on the 4Gen TL and the ill-fated ZDX.

True, I don't gripe about it as much as I used to (you do get used to some things with time)...but I still don't think the larger Audi grilles look as good as the older smaller ones.

Look, I have no problem driving around my IS with its spindle grill, despite the fact that some people thought the 3rd-gen IS was hideous when it was first introduced. I am just saying, I can already see the responses when the nostalgic long for the days of a spindle-less LFA.
