That's one of the best reviews I've ever read. I'm still not a fan of the body. Although it is growing on me, and the pics from the review are fantastic and inspiring, seeing Jason's shot of it beside a 599 GTO just reminds me again of how lacking it is compared to the Ferrari. Then again, that's just my opinion. Everyone's got one.

But that engine, it sounds fantastic and it's (speculatively) built phenomenally. I'm sure the driving dynamics are beyond reproach. I sure hope that it (and it's tech) finds it way into some other offerings.

Great review, thanks.

Great review DJ, I'm sure the time you spent with this beauty was amazing. Great pics as well, I really loved the shot of the interior that shows the pedals. What a simplistic but beautiful design!

These cars still seem to be underrated in my opinion. I realize the price is quite high, but this is such a special car. I'm surprised JPCourt doesn't have one yet!

any thoughts on the price development of the LFA for the years to come?
Will it depreciate(much)?

The LFA is a real masterpiece, I saw the concept in geneva back in the days, it was awesome! And this color suits it like a glove!

I saw the concept LF-A and LF-C in chicago at the auto show in 04'. It looked much better back then and I am still waiting for the LF-C vert to drop....with that ISF engine it could easily sell.

Very well written!

I had the opportunity to see the LFA Nurburgring Edition last month...it was nothing short of mindblowing!
