All these little clues are telling me the car has more power than Toyota is willing to tell.

Also, if you go by the LFA website, it states that the 0-60mph will be in 3.6 sec (with equivalent weight to two people.)

My guess is Toyota took this car to the worst possible conditions and grab the lowest possible numbers and published them.
The Gallardo honestly is not that fast. I think you would be surprised how many tuned cars can take it.

Of course the guys tuning the gallardos are making some serious power.
