The GTR may have less HP compare with this LFA, 480 BHP vs 550 BHP but you need to remember the power-to-weight-ratio and the drivetrain set up. GTR is a twin-turbo V6 which is lighter compare to a V10 but had more torque than the LFA, 580 Nm vs. 480 Nm. Torque is something you'll need to accelerate first not the HP. Not only that, the GTR is an AWD compare to the LFA which is RWD...so traction is an advantage to the GTR. Team Polizei said,

Plush/luxurious interior is a bonus.

If only Nissan could built a roadgoing 550-plus bhp GTR, at least we have another Japanese supercar to give some challenge to the establishments in this middle-power segment.
