The verdict is off, they are roughly equal in lap times. The Lexus has nicer styling and a higher top speed. The Lexus sounds better as well. The Nissan is far more affordable.

The AWD helped the GTR at the launch, but the LFA driver fell asleep (or was playing with the LCD screen) and had a horrible reaction time (4:38)
I expect better than 11.8 in the quarter after a few other cars are tested.
The white eLF-Ant has more potential than we've seen. Can't wait to see the LFA Nürburgring Package...
