The Lexus LFA Nürburgring Package comes from the first generation (from 2010) that was produced from 2010 to 2012. This special model was developed to maximize performance on racetracks, especially on the Nürburgring, which is one of the most challenging racetracks in the world. The Lexus LFA was created under the leadership of Chief Engineer Haruhiko Tanahashi and Designer Kengo Matsumoto. These engineers created a masterpiece that is recognized worldwide for its unique design and impressive performance. The Lexus LFA Nürburgring Package was produced as a limited edition, and only 50 units were made. Thanks to extensive aerodynamic optimizations and the use of lightweight carbon fiber composite material, this car ranks among the top high-performance vehicles of the last decade.
The Lexus LFA Nürburgring Package is equipped with a 4.8-liter V10 engine that generates 562 HP. This power is delivered to the road through a six-speed sequential transmission and rear-wheel drive. The acceleration from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) happens in just 3.7 seconds, and the top speed is around 202 mph (325 km/h). The carbon ceramic brakes provide precise braking power, essential for racetracks. Special features of the Nürburgring Package include a larger rear spoiler, improved suspension, special tires, and aerodynamic enhancements like an enlarged front spoiler and side skirts. These elements all contribute to improving driving dynamics and stability at high speeds, clearly setting the Nürburgring Package apart from the regular Lexus LFA.
