I'm not really sure I see the game changing a lot, but maybe that's just me.

Not saying everyone is going to build front engine 2+2 awd cars. That is great thing about cars. There is just so many ways to make an iconic car. Yes LFA is a nice car, but I don't see it being an icon 20 years from now.
You would have a hard time convincing others, the GTR didn't rewrite the rule book. It will go down in history.
McLaren F1 rewrote the rule book for supercars in the 90's. It didn't mean everyone was going to go out and build 240mph 3-seat monocoque chassis NA V12 sport scars. Bugatti finally made an epic classic with the Veyron. A rival to the iconic McLaren F1. But yet it is a totally different car, 2-seat very heavy turbocharged W16.
