0-60 in 3.8 sec. Remember when we thought that was fast?
Now, a Tesla SUV can leave it in the dust for less than 1/4 of the price.
Of course, the LFA has many more qualities than just 0-60 but for some reason
that seems to be the Holy Grail of "wonderfulness".

Not that it matters, but 3.6 seconds was the best they got.

problem is - unlike ICE, batteries lose their capacity (no I do not mean the charge) fast when driven hard often. Also, unlike LFA, Teslas depreciate like crazy.

I could not care less about Tesla's 2.8 seconds 0-60 mph when LFA's 3.4 - 3.5 seconds 0-60 mph launch sounds so damn good here

Are you joking? Is 0-60 mph all you think about in a car performance? Have you looked into other characteristics such as handling and max speed? Tesla X max speed is 155 mph, while the LFA has 200 mph.

Steve,
I was not implying that 0-60 was important to ME but that is the stat that "everybody" quotes. As I said...FOR SOME REASON
that seems to be the Holy Grail of "wonderfulness".


As for top speed stats, where can you go 155 much less 200 without being arrested? TOP speed is pretty much irrelevant these days.

Any company that builds a "supercar" thinks top speed is relevant. But relevant to who?

To other car makers, I suspect...bragging rights. To actual people, not so much...even to purchasers.

You think they spend 2 million plus for a daily driver? They take the thing to 200+ one time, put it in the garage

and wait for it to appreciate like some kind of work of art. Not a wise use of $2M in my view.
