I believe crash testing has to be completed before they are run on US roads.

Looks great. The color looks like the same red as the LFA Roadster concept to me.

I like this way more than the coup. I even like the color.

The front end certainly looks better in colors other than white.
I'd take one either in red or black.....with a set of 21's. Gotta change shoes no matter what the car is. Even if the stockers look good.

I preferred the spyder but that was a not go for the final car.

If you look at the back of the LFA there just is not place to package a folding top.

Back to allocation info.

I received an email today mentioning that my allocation info package will arrive this Friday and that a Product Specialist will contact me soon. The Product Specialist will be involved throughout the process. The first deposit ($10K) will be done at the local dealership.

Congratulations! I guess you are a shoe-in!

The "Nurburgring package" is officially on the global LFA website.

Those who purchase the car with the package get an annual pass to the 'Ring, reserved private parking at the 'Ring, and a 3-hour driving lesson on the 'Ring with an experienced instructor.

I'm interested to know if the power increase on the "Ring package" model is due to a higher redline, or other modifications.

In either case, that's an incredible amount of power from a 4.8L naturally aspirated V10.

At least some of the prototypes will definitely go to museums. Others could be disassembled, some of their parts or pieces used for other prototypes. The prototypes themselves may continue to be used as development mules for other projects.

Race cars could be a definite possibility too.

I'm sure crash testing has already been completed.
