#LexusLfaNurburgring

The extremely rare Lexus LFA Nurburgring Edition is out in Las Vegas at the 2012 SEMA Show, surprisingly making its US auto show debut.

The Lexus LFA Nurburgring Edition needs no real introduction, having debuted over a year ago and setting records since. 

For the first time at the Geneva Auto Show, Lexus had on display the very special Nurburgring Edition version of the LFA supercar.

On display for the very first time, Lexus chose the Geneva Auto Show carefully as the location to showcase the LFA Nurburgring edition, not shying away from a venue known for its exotic cars.

A show renowned for debuts of high-priced exotics, Lexus aims to show the folks from Maranello to Stuttgart just how it’s done over in Japan, debuting the LFA Nurburgring Edition at the Geneva Auto Show. And as luck would have it, Toyota’s luxury arm is previewing the supercar in an extensive new photo gallery – of which you’ll want to click through every pic.

Hiromu Naruse, Toyota’s chief test driver and the man widely regarded as the father of the Lexus LFA, died in a car crash today on a German highway near the Nurburgring race track.

According to reports, Naruse veered into an oncoming lane while piloting a prototype of the Lexus LFA Nurburgring edition and hit a BMW 3-Series, being driven by two other test drivers. The BMW drivers survived the crash but one reportedly is in critical condition.

Hit the jump to see a German news report on the incident.
