20 minutes googling and even a phone call to Lexus Germany produced no figures, what the engine weighs the LFA actually!

But it did something else interesting out:
The V6 engine replacement costs than about 1/4 of the V10 engine of the LFA. This is a thoroughbred racing engine and a host of materials that would be in volume production unaffordable (eg manganese) ...
In addition, the engine of the LFA every 10,000 km, an investigation be carried out and it is advisable to carry out every 3,000 km and a oil change.

In other words:
A BMW F1 V10 weighs 83 Kg including all auxiliary equipment .. the R6 a brief 335i 180 kg, including all ancillary equipment ...
Only the engines can not compare ...
