For me it brings a touch of class, don't ask how because I can't explain it.

Got to play with a CGT and Ford GT at Sebring a few weeks ago. Ate the Ford's lunch. CGT - no so much.
I'd love to take an LF-A to the track and see what it can do.
I've seen a few Murcs but they've disappeared now (which is kinda weird esp. since summer's here).
Haven't seen a Koenigsegg but I have seen a Spyker C8 Laviolette. I've seen a Ford GT (black) and another one that's painted like the GT40.

Actually I was thinking about it. Someone said that the LF-A might have a hybrid option, are they going to use the LSh engine seeing that they were thinking about a V8 hybrid LF-A or do they want a V10 hybrid LF-A?

It was reported that it'll be a V8 hybrid, although a V10 hybrid would have been uber cool lol.

They shouldn't even attempt to make a LF-A hybrid until the smaller, lighter lithium-ion batteries are safe & ready to use on the car.

I can't imagine they'll make a hybrid version. Weight is the enemy of handling, and all the other exotics will eat it's lunch if it is heavy. You would need for it to produce about 700HP to justify the hybrid's weight, and even then it would be scary around corners.

Oh yeah I want my LF-A with Executive Package with no less than ottoman seating and shiatsu massage and mini fridge and 21 speakers. Did I mention that it can self-park?
