Interesting quote: "the GT version of the LFA"...

The most valuable statement in this review was the comment that the engine switches from Atkinson to Otto cycle. Can anybody confirm that? It makes intuitive sense but I have never heard of an engine being able to change cycles while running.

As the LC has the same ending as the RC-F then i assume they work the same, when causing the piston stroke is shortened and the engine will run like a 4.2 ltr rather than a 5ltr which will give you better mph, thats how i believe it works, .

Nice. Just wish I could understand what he was saying - there were parts when he was comparing it to a Porsche (I think). This is also one of the few reviews of a car with stock wheels - I think I like these the best on this car (yes, I know they aren't forged).
