Note the little square on the bumper underneath the LFA logo.

I'd say the screws were some sort of mini spoiler testing thing. I'm sure the boys on Top Gear would have picked up on them.


reversing sensor perhaps ?
Nothing to see here ...

Someone needs to buy one, let us investigate it thoroughly, test it out on a track, and pull the motor out and dump it in Coryns Supra to see if it handles the same spankings he gives the 2JZ ;)

I'd be pretty disappointed if that engine could'nt handle more than a JZ motor they've done enough laps around the Nurburgring to suggest that it can handle it.

As for me I forgotten what laps at Manfield look like over the last 18 months I think I've only been 3 times.The recession has slayed me and I can't afford to indulge my hobby which well and truely sucks... :x :x

No I'd love to try it but reality dictates it won't happen though but if I won lotto and word got around that a Nurburgring version LFA was to hit these shores it would be a pretty fair chance it might well be me..Dreams are free I guess... 8) 8) 8)

Who cares about the brand name? I don't buy a car to introduce it to other people to look cool... I buy a car to drive and enjoy it, and I think the LF-A is likely to do a better job at that than a Ferrari.

Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.
