Pics: Lexus LFA, Rolls Royce Ghost, Spyker Aileron

Maqsad ager dry conditions hoti to what do you assume the number would have been? LFA would've topped the power lap board right?!The car's too heavy to pose any threat to the cars above in the Power Lap times. GT3 RS, SLR, ZR1, CGT-> all these are below GTR!

nice detailed photos , i dont care abt the tag as i m not gonna buy it...but its a engineering Marvel ...and looks are also quite nice.. waiting 4 ur coverage of the detroit show..!!!

nice up close pics Kamran! Do you no longer live in Cali?

Thanks man! Yeah i'm back in Michigan now. Are you coming to Detroit for the autoshow?

What engineering are you guys talking here about? :-# All right I may not have driven it myself but many have! The Top Gear power lap: 1:22 ..its even slower then the Nissan Gt-r. And you can buy 4-5 Gt-r's in the price of LFA! Gallardo 560 is faster then this?!

BBC - Top Gear - Power Laps

All right even the AMG's dont have Auto tranny but no body cares then!

Fast lap times aren't the only sign of engineering excellence.

Personally these lap times don't mean much because each driver is different and there are just too many variables. This crazy obsession with fast lap times is ruining cars IMO. Driver involvement is of paramount importance to me and unfortunately most manufacturers are giving that up these days just for lap times that few drivers can replicate.

This car would have made a nice supra (the retardness in its looks is quite reminiscent of that car), with a smaller six-cylinder TT donk and a price tag of $60k...

Spyker Aileron.

The new head lamps on the Spyker look fantastic. I always disliked the retarded old aged head lamps! Great stuff man!

Did you happen to see the Spyker D12 suv?

Clarkson estimated dry laps to be around 3-4 seconds faster per lap than wet.

Yeah the new headlamps look nice...however I still like the old shape.

Very detailed pictures Kamran bhai, I'm loving that LF-A engine shots thanks for sharing..

That's cool man...don't think you'll be missing much.

Rolls-Royce Ghost.

Kamran

Nice coverage! And also nice to see you in action again. Hope life is good at your end.

About the LF-A, I'd personally pay the $380k. People who moan about its high price should keep in mind that you're getting a bespoke racer for less than the price of a touring car. Also, you'll get a well-furnished interior and a warranty. I'd buy it just for the engine, speaking of which, if they ever sold the engine separately, it'll be wonderful in a Mk IV Supra :D. As for looks, I quite like it. I agree on the colour though, the primer grey gloss as on the Bentley supersport or the Gallardo Superleggera would look quite mean actually.

I agree on the Spyker's shape. The older one was better, this one is a bit bland - well relatively speaking of course, one can't imagine a Spyker ever being bland. The steering looks quite familiar, a hint of Gallardo/R8 perhaps?

What are your thoughts on the Rolls. It seems to me to be a rather sportier version of the Phantom.

Thanks man. Everything is fine here...just been busy. How about yourself? Hope all is well.

Yeah the LFA is one of those cars that can only be appreciated by engineers or diehard car nuts. I liked the dry carbon fiber below the A-pillars, reminded me of a racecar.

I believe the Spyker actually uses the same wheel as the Gallardo and R8, good eye btw!

The R-R Ghost was ok, there were a few things that let it down. I personally don't like the bland instrument cluster. The auto closing rear doors were cool. The car is overall much better proportioned than the Phantom. I guess the Ghost is more special than a Bentley Conti GT. The Bentley Mulsanne is my favorite luxury car at the moment, got to check it out at the Detroit auto show, pics to follow soon.

[CrashD]

for some reason reminds me alot of the supra!
