Lexus LFA Nürburgring track edition – Click above for image gallery<\/small><\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n

\nRemember when Lexus<\/a> was synonymous with cushy, spongy rides that were anything but performance oriented? That all seems a distant memory since Toyota’s luxury division set its sights on the likes of BMW<\/a> with the IS-F<\/a>, even more so with the release of the exclusive LFA<\/a> supercar. But according to the latest, Lexus ain’t done yet.<\/p>\n

Back in October when we were in Miami test driving the LFA<\/a>, we brought you a report on the possibility<\/a> of a stripped-down, competition-focused version. Now it appears that this track edition is upon us.<\/p>\n

Apparently called the Nürburgring edition – in reference to the legendary German road course where the competition prototypes that led to the production LFA cut their proverbial teeth – this extra-special LFA will benefit from a large, fixed rear wing, a splitter up front, a stiffer (and more adjustable) suspension, lightweight alloys coated in track rubber and an extra 10 horsepower (likely resulting from a revised exhaust system).<\/p>\n

Aside from the four paint options – which reportedly include glossy black, matte black, orange, and an unknown fourth color – that’s about all we’ve got for now, but if your Japanese is up to snuff and you can extrapolate more from the source report, let us know in the Comments below.<\/p>\n
