Lexus LFA Nurburgring Edition Video: First Look From the Geneva Motor Show
For the first time at the Geneva Auto Show, Lexus had on display the very special Nurburgring Edition version of the LFA supercar.
With the standard vehicle limited to only 500 units, just 50 of those will be Nurburgring edition models, sporting custom aerodynamics like a large front splitter, cannards and a massive rear spoiler.
Output from the 4.8-liter V10 engine has been upped just 10-hp to 570-hp total, helping the carbon monocoque machine hit 62-mph in 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 202-mph (slightly lower than the standard model due to the massive downforce generated by the rear spoiler).
Additional upgrades include quicker shift times, custom wheels, plus a retuned and lowered suspension (10mm).
Available in Matte Black, Black, White or Orange (as seen here), the interior can be had in Black and Red, Black and Purple or all Black. Plus, all Nurburgring editions get added carbon fiber interior bits, plus carbon racing seats.
Priced at $375,000 for the standard model, the Nurburgring edition runs an extra $70,000 and includes training on the world famous race track by top instructors.

Uggghhh! That yellow is horrible. Looks dated and cheap. This car will be forgotten about in a year or so.
