I owned one. Not that special, great value for 115k-120k. I'd rather pony up another 5-10k and get an 17' R8 V10 ANY DAY.
It drives nice, and is comfortable. It's F10 M5 (maybe with stage 1 tune) levels of acceleration (in my opinion maybe 1-2mph faster in 1/4 mile trap). Launching is very strong. Transmission is very good. Car lacks some REALLY basic touches that car in that segment SHOULD have (primarily fit n' finish). Looks great in front, no front axle lift so get ready to destroy the front end if you live in an area with road work or a lot of dips. Back looks ehh. The speed is good, but it sounds like a non-nasal GTR mixed with G35.
Also I have a R8 V10 Plus - I've driven an F90 M5. The R8 will win the race (exactly the same car as LP610).
Hope that helps!
