That's the convertible version of the Gallardo you're posting. The reverbs from the echos in the tunnel help too. If the LFA had an open-top version, I bet it'll sound just as amazing if not more so than the Gallardo Spyder. Too bad Lexus dropped that plan though.

Not sure if anybody mentioned this yet but you can see on the engine cover that they intended to put on the original "F" badge in the middle, as you can spot the signature shape cutout on the cover. But since they decided to go with a new "rimless" F badge on the fenders, they left out the badge entirely.

One of the LFA videos show a new silver rectangular plate in the middle of the engine cover with the new rimless F badge in the middle of it. If they went with unpainted CF on the engine cover with that new plate, I think that would make the engine bay a lot nicer to look at.

This is what I mean:

"old" engine cover with rimmed F badge cutout:


"new" engine cover with rimless F badge, as per the official operatic video:


But yeah, that engine bay needs more carbon fiber...
