What makes it more questionable is that they completely butchered up a perfectly good LFA to make it just another boring drift car. If this had something interesting, lets say, the original V10 or a 4 rotor it'd be epic and I would love it to pieces. But no, they replaced the engine with the same old tried and tested V8, with no flare or originality at all. Boring. *yawn*

I'd assume there's some weight being saved with a V8 rather than a V10 though. :indiff:

No it's not.

What makes this more questionable and maybe funnier is that the LFA is (stock) a mid-engine car.

hmmm I...no.
It's pretty clear just from the design that it's front engine. I have no idea where you just pulled it was midengined from.

Why would a midengine have a hood that long and a backend that small?
I don't care if it's mounted behind the axle. It's still in the front.

It's probably not due to that, more the fact of torque and harder to get power out of.

Mainly because it's a front mid-engine? The engine is behind the front axle, making the engine being classified as in the middle. It is a front mid-engined car.

He's reffering to a rear-mid layout.

How do you know this? From what I could see he said mid engined. No specification on a rear mid-engined car nor a front mid-engined car.

A front mid-engined car is still classified as a mid-engined car. It's just instead the engine is behind the front axle, instead of in front of the rear. By your logic it would mean rear mid-engined cars would have to be called RRs.

Because the layout hasn't been changed at all and his post implies that it was.


Wow, I cannot properly write today.
 
Well guys, here's a tip for everyone: Never have two tabs open in your mobile browser with two different cars. One was with a Lexus LFA, the other with a Pagani Zonda F's engine. I saw the Zonda pic when switching tabs back to here, and inadvertently thought it was the LFA.

God I'm an idiot. I guess that means I've been "rekt" or whatever the hell it is. :banghead: :dunce:

EDIT: Whether the Zonda F has a V10 or not, I still had the "LFA = V10" connection in my mind.

I see what you're saying, but it can easily be interpreted as the engine being moved in front of the axle as well.
 
I like it. dad doesn't.

They did a bad job on a vinyl wrap and those rims are gross.
