The NSX is great, but I really don't think it's one of the most important cars of the last 25 years (or whatever that bloke said). It's achieved a halo status now because it's rare, but I wouldn't say it was important to the story of the car.
i was going to buy an NSX but got my deposit back after a test drive as i felt it was too civic like, i ended up getting a B5 RS4 for the looks and bonkers engine 
the LFA is my top lotto win car, just for that damn noise
i will move into a tunnel

Lovely. So much MKIV Supra in the design.It took a long tome for people to appreciate the LFA - it was never about the numbers - it was engineering and ability to be a great drivers car
I spent the last week talking about the LFA and showing people around it at Ascari, the more you look the more you appreciate just how obsessive the attention to detail is
Hearing and seeing it being driven hard around Ascari every lunchtime was a real pleasure

The presenter was a bit annoying. I did learn some interesting facts though - the two that stand out are that the LFA's engine is so low that its gearbox has to be geared up from the crank, and that the valves are below the level of the top of the front wheels! Amazing. I also hadn't seen the snippets of Senna and the NSX before, or learnt that he drove the car on more than one circuit. I'd love to know more detail on what Senna's involvement was in the NSX.
He drove the prototype & suggested they increase the torsional rigidity.It's all in Brian Long's book.
