Due to no launch control LFA only got off the line slower, but then with ferocious high-rpm power caught back up and kept the lead including the high speed sectors.



However, here are the excerpts from the comparison. English translation in bold:


'Am Bremspunkt vor der Spitzkehre erreicht das Duett Geschwindigkeiten von 204 bis 208 km/h. English: 'At the braking point before the hairpin, the duet reached speeds of 204-208 km / h. Hier sind stabile Bremsen gefragt, während es im Highspeed Sektor auf eine gute Balance ankommt. English: Here stable brakes are required, while in the high-speed sector to a good balance matters. Im Dynamik Sektor zählen Agilität und spontane Reaktionen.' English: In the dynamic sector include agility and spontaneous reactions. "

I like both cars but in that picture the LF-A looks so prominent and dominating. Awesome picture. That would be a cool poster:thumbsup:

Recently, there have been rumors Jay Leno might be getting an LFA. Still no confirmation on it though.

I'd be surprised if he didn't. Obviously he has the money. I would get one. I know he did a Jay Leno's garage on it. Although he has someone else go in the car and not him as he had other stuff to do. But I wouldn't mind him reviewing it himself.
