50 Out of the 500 2011 Lexus LFAs Will Be Nurburgring Editions
Relax, relax, not all of the 2011 Lexus LFA Nurburgring Edition cars will be orange. Some will be white, black and Matte Black. But these special-edition cars, which commemorate the car's third appearance in the Nurburgring 24 Hours race this May, will statement for 50 units of the total 500-unit worldwide production run.
Each Nurburgring Edition LFA will get a larger front spoiler, fin-type side spoilers and fixed wing on the back. They also get a revised engine map said to liberate at least another 10 horsepower from the 4.8-liter V10 — now worthy of "over 570 PS," which is 562 hp.
Meanwhile, the laggardly shift times that would slow you down in a conventional Lexus LFA decrease by 0.05 second in the 'Ring Edition, so now it takes all of 0.15 for the car's rear-mounted, six-speed sequential gearbox to complete a gearchange.
Also standard is a "sports tuned suspension," plus the wheels you see here and stickier-compound tires. The package also includes individual instruction on the Nurburgring Nordschleife ("should you require it," says Lexus gently) and a 1-year pass on the Nordschleife.
Pricing? Well, hmm, not just yet.
