I don't see the point of the LFA. Marginal performance for its intended class, and hyper expensive.
0-60 in 3.6 seconds, 7:14:64 around the Nuburgring; Ferrari 458 Italia did the 'Ring in 7:32:92... somewhat better than "marginal," IMHO.
Though, there are many supercars I'd choose before an LFA. To me, a supercar that you're going to plunk down that much money for is about the styling as well as the performance. The LFA's performance is just fine, and it's an extremely well-engineered vehicle... that said, I think that the SC430 looks better let alone the 458 Italia, Reventon, Carerra Turbo, etc etc etc.
On March 15, 2010, Lexus detailed the circuit-tuned variant of the LFA, plans for which were first disclosed at the LFA official press launch the previous October.[62] The variant is officially known as the LFA Nürburgring Package in reference to the similar setup employed on the LFA race vehicles at the 24 Hours Nürburgring.[7][63]
The package features an extra 10 bhp (7 kW) from its V10 engine, bringing the total to 563 bhp (420 kW; 571 PS). It also features a re-calibrated transmission with gear shifts made faster by 0.05 seconds, a front splitter, stiffer and more adjustable suspension, lightweight alloy wheels coated in track rubber, aerodynamic canards at the sides of the front bumper, and a large fixed rear wing.[63][64]
The LFA with the Nürburgring Package is a competition-focused variant, and will be available in four exterior colors, namely glossy black, matte black, orange, and whitest white.[64] The production totals are to be included in the 500-unit total LFA planned build cycle,[62] and will be limited to a 50-unit run.

For 20% to 40% more than others in its class, I expect much better performance. It has no cachet, it is sterile (from what I've read), no heritage, etc. All it has it what it does, and it's very overpriced for that.
