Lexus LFA Nurburgring

Lexus LFA Nurburgring Lexus has just published new photos and details for its limited edition Nurburgring package available as an option for the LFA. A maximum of 10 cars will receive the exclusive Lexus LFA Nurburgring treatment, which turns the Japanese model into a more track-focused performance car, by increasing total output to 562 bhp (+ 10 bhp) and enabling a 0 to 62 acceleration time of 3.7 seconds. The Lexus LFA Nurburgring makes use of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) by featuring a series of components that help reduce downforce, like a larger front spoiler, fin-type side spoilers, a canard fin and a fixed rear wing. The Lexus LFA Nurburgring package also includes a revised suspension which has been lowered by 10 mm, and double spoke design black alloys fitted with sticky performance tires.

Lexus LFA Nurburgring To celebrate the LFA’s hat-trick of class wins at the Nürburgring 24 Hours race, Lexus has created the Nürburgring Package, an array of aerodynamic features, suspension adjustments and revisions to the 4.8-litre V10 engine that give the supercar a more track-focused profile. Shown in public for the first time at the Geneva motor show, the performance option is available on just 50 of the 500 cars that will be built. These versions will be crafted during 2012, the second full year of LFA production. To sharpen the car’s circuit driving performance even further by increasing downforce at high speed, the Nürburgring Package introduces modifications and additions to several key carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) components. These include a larger front spoiler, fin-type side spoilers, a canard fin and a fixed rear wing. To ensure the LFA maintains its 3.7-second acceleration time from nought to 62mph, in spite of the increased drag, the V10 engine has been revised to increase maximum power by 10bhp to 562bhp. Shift times in the six-speed sequential transmission are just 0.15 seconds. In terms of handling modifications, the package features suspension tuning and a 10mm reduction in the ride height. Exclusive mesh-type wheels are introduced, fitted with dedicated high-grip tyres. Exterior colour choices are restricted to matte black, black, white or orange, with interiors finished in black and red, black and purple and all-black. Cars delivered in Europe will feature a carbon fibre centre console and door trims, with carbon fibre sports seats finished in Alcantara. Customers who specify the package will also be offered one-to-one driving tuition from a Nürburgring chief instructor and a year’s pass to enjoy their car on the famous Nordschleife circuit.
