For fun, and partly to show you all where my thought process is, I put together this spreadsheet. In it, I included the vehicle, which event it was part of, how many upgrades were required to win it, the total number of upgrades available, the cost to upgrade to the required level, and the percentage of upgrades required compared to the total upgrades. This percentage is what is the best comparison tool LTS vs. LTS.

As I stated above, there are a few outliers, and earlier LTS's often required fewer upgrades (plus the 2 Samsung ones which were winnable with just R$ upgrades). But you can see a clear trend beginning with the two Ferrari events (599 GTO and LaFerrari), that every NEW LTS (except the Formula E one), has required at least 75% of the upgrades to be applied to the car to win. The Corvette C7.R and Porsche 911 RSR are excluded from that comparison since they are re-hashes of old events when the threshold was lower and are not new events.
