Very interesting find. At first, I wanted to say it might be a mule for LCF, but the LCF is way too big for LFA to be a mule for and it would be very apparent. In this case, the dimensions look identical to the LFA except the wide fender flares. Would really like to see a video to see if it is still a V10 or sounds like a different engine.

This is such crazy news! Wow. It would be amazing to see a successor to the LFA... Here's hoping they don't saddle it with the weird lease-only thing.

Why would they test a road going variant using race slicks.

Maybe there doing some aero testing for an upcoming push into LeMan GT3 they've had that LFA looklike hiding at their f-1 hq for years in Cologne.

Even if they did another run with it 300 of them but with wide body more power andnew interior. Wishful thinking.

Does not have the proportions of the LCF. The LC is actually about 13 inches longer than the LFA so the proportions of that mule are identical to that of the LFA so I don't believe it is the LCF chassis hiding underneath.
