Yeah but there are things Ferrari has that the Lexus doesn't. We are fortunate to have such an amazing brand like Ferrari and the newcomer Lexus with the LFA.

I do love the innovative changing screen!

That dash is innovation and style that I have never seen in any other car

It's neat how the metal ring is retained, I particularly like the symmetrical central design with side menus.

pretty crazy how metal ring moves around :-). Expensive!

thing is, without metal ring, lcd dash looks pretty plain, especially when off... you just see plain glass/plastic cover.

On the other note:
Ferrari generates 790+ pounds of downforce at top speed while LFA does only 550.
Drag coefficient on LFA is 0.31 while on Ferrari is 0.33
and so on. There are lots of things LFA has and Ferrari does not and vice versa

The ring is actually motor-driven; it's amazing how they integrated the ring with the LCD displays .

LFA produces *over* 550 pounds of downforce at top speed. We don't know exact numbers yet.

It's almost flawless, only on few frames you can see that LCD can't catch up or gets choppy. I am sure they will perfect it when it comes to production.
Hands down this is the best TFT cluster on production car, new XJ comes in second

amazing, Lexus really outdid themselves when it comes to the LFA. My only gripe is the headlight design. The LF-A concept's headlights were perfection

Downforce is not always a good thing.

I'm impressed! I'm guessing a few years from now, many cars will have this feature
