Lexus unleash ultimate LFA

To celebrate the LFA taking part in this year’s Nürburgring 24 Hours race, Lexus has introduced a new performance package for the striking supercar.

Aimed at hardcore track driving enthusiasts, the new, limited edition, LFA Nürburgring package provides new aerodynamic features and engine enhancements to create the ultimate LFA track experience.

To create greater downforce, a larger front spoiler, side spoilers and a new fixed rear wing have been added to the package. Modifications to the handling have also been made including sports tuning of the suspension and mesh-type wheels shod with dedicated high-grip tyres.

Under the bonnet, the 4.8-litre V10 engine has been increased by 10bhp to more than 562bhp. Gear shifts in the six-speed transmission have also been cut to just 0.15 seconds. The new enhancements mean the LFA with the Nürburgring package can accelerate from 0-62mph in just 3.7 seconds with a top speed of 202mph.

Only 50 LFA’s will be available with the Nürburgring package, within the total LFA production limit of 500 cars. Two LFA supercars will race at the Nürburgring 24 Hours race in May.
