Lexus LFA - Nürburgring Edition

"The Lexus LF-A is already an exclusive super car in its own right. And as it the case when exclusivity begets more exclusivity, Lexus has announced that they are releasing a new track edition LF-A optimized for circuit driving.

Called the Nürburgring Package in reference to the world-famous race track in Germany where the legend of the LF-A came to life, this special edition LF-A will be distinguished by a fixed rear wing, larger front spoiler, sports tuned suspension and high grip tires.

The Lexus LF-A is powered by a 4.8 liter V10 that delivers a maximum output of 560 HP, but for the LF-A Nurburgring Track Edition the output will be raised to 570 hp. The sprint from 0 to 60 mph will be made in 3.7 seconds, and top speed will go up to 210 mph.

Also this special edition will be offered in only four colors: Matte Black, Black, White or Orange and a choice of three interior color schemes - black and red, black and purple or just black.

It goes without saying that Lexus struck gold in its first foray into the realm of the super car; a remarkable achievement considering that before the LF-A came to life, the words ’Lexus’ and ’supercar’ were as synonymous to each other as peanut butter and carrots.

Lexus will only offer 50 units of this special edition.

The Nurburgring Package adds an extra $70,000 to the standard $375k you’ll need to pay for the LF-A and the matte black will carry an additional cost of $20,000. This limited edition LFA will be available in four exterior colors – whitest white, orange, black and matte black complemented by a choice of three interior colors – black, red, and violet."
