Does LFA have cylinder deactivation?
Just out of curiosity, I was wondering if LFA has cylinder deactivation?
The reason why I am asking is, I remember watching the #003 LFA video and as soon as he switched to auto ('normal' mode), the owner showed a message in the middle of gauge cluster saying '5 cylinders idling'.
Why did it say '5 cylinders idling', if it was not deactivation message? Just wondering if someone has any info on this.

Yes only when in regular drive mode. When you're stopped at idle, the 1LR-GUE will operate only in 5 cylinders, but will resume to full 10 cylinders when you accelerate.

seats on the car are comfortable, however the rear seats look like only children or a child in a car seat would be able to sit comfortably. The plug in port looks very similar to a Prius Plug-in which makes me think maybe there was some Toyota collaboration or parts used for this car. Overall I think it is a great car especially since there are really good deals to be had on them.
Excuse the crappy pics.

Thanks and congratulations Crazy.
We are not likely to see many garage pics like the ones you shared.
Interesting to hear deals are to be had on i8 as they had been fetching premiums in the past. they are really interesting to look at with all the architectural design details. The rear quarters are sinuous.
