We've seen the exterior and interior now leaked. The interior it seems has stunned lots of people, as has the production engine note. Even for me, the interior is MUCH better than I was expecting, and it's really just quite stunning!
I think the biggest surprise is yet to come though, and that could possibly be the details, technology, specs, and performance details of the car.

Almost half the entire powertrain is titanium! Now THAT is exotic!
Also impressive that 65% of the body is carbon fiber.
As I mentioned in the other thread though, I hope these specs are not completely accurate, as a top speed of 202 mph is very dissapointing.
Torque output is also somewhat dissapointing.

The LFA interior puts most supercar and exotic car interiors to shame.
I will wait for official specs and confirmation, but these leaked specs if true are somewhat dissapointing.
Overall performance of the car though I am sure will be monstrous.

I would hate to be one of the last to receive the car towards the end of production, and find out some other newer super car with similar or better performances is already available, and at a much lower price ...
