Lexus to introduce harder and faster LF-A to be called the ‘Nurburgring’

It was only a matter of time before this happened, it has long been rumoured that Lexus will be offering several variations of its LF-A supercar and this is the first to be released, a lightweight, stripped, harder and faster LF-A (as if the standard LF-A wasn’t fast already but I guess there’s no such thing as fast enough).

According to reports, the new LF-A will be called the Nurburgring edition – paying homage to the legendary track where the LF-A cut its proverbial teeth. The new LF-A is said to benefit from a large, fixed rear wing, a splitter up front, a stiffer and more adjustable suspension, lightweight alloys, and an increase of 10hp likely derived from a revised exhaust system.

Also differentiating it from the stock LF-A, the ‘Nurburgring’ will be offered in four paint options which include, glossy black, matte black, orange and a yet unknown fourth colour. That’s all there is so far on the new LF-A but watch this space over the next few days.

This actually looks much better than the original angular look. Its soften to look much like the Supra.

"...(as if the standard LF-A wasn’t fast already..)."

It certainly wasn't!

There are plenty of FASTER, CHEAPER alternatives to the LF-A out there! In particular from the company that gave us the humble Datsun 120Y and Sunnys..

Performance of this car won't make it desirable. Many other supercars can eat this Lexus for breakfast.
Only becoz it's a limited production car made it desirable.

Anyway, knowing its a Toyota, Later, I bet there will be many other limited edition of this car will be made....

Maybe a Bahrian Edition for the Oil Sheikhs...
Monaco version for the high rollers...
Shanghai Dragon Version for the Chinese big-boss, etc....

LFA is a benchmark for rest of the supercar world.
The technology put into making this car alone is enough for it
to be considered exotic.....

Great luck getting men and women behind this one. Although you make some Quite fascinating points, youre going to need to do much more than bring up some points that could be distinct than what weve already heard. What are trying to say here? What do you want us to feel? It appears like you cant really get behind a distinctive thought. Anyway, thats just my opinion.
