The R8 only offers a dual clutch auto, and the fact that the LFA is a single clutch is irrelevant - it's as different from a torque converter auto as a DCT is. If anything, the LFA transmission is closer to the one used in the Pagani Huayra (also a single clutch sequential).

Now, there are still nice cars that have torque converter autos, but nothing up in the super car category - the ones still running torque converters are ones like the BMW 335, Lexus IS-F, and similar.
