NASCAR TRD V8 (no caps lock) to be precise, and the purpose is to go sideways.

I suspect that this LFA was a testcar, prototype or has been crashed. Someone suggest a GT86 with the V10.

In the mind of an enthusiasts though, " Bentley is sophisticated, leaders of engineering beacuse owned by VW, and innovators of speed and luxury...un like American garbage with pushrod engines and plastic interiors" lol enthusiasts :]

Since when is VW a leader in engineering? They never were. Honestly, they build solid cars, but that's it. They are the Toyota of Germany.
