Lexus has released a special Nurburgring version of the LFA Supercar.
The package is limited to 50 units worldwide of the total 500-unit production run. Only 150 LFAs are designated for America, so simple math would suggest only 15 or so will have the option package.
The special edition comes in four colors: whitest white, orange, black and matte black, with the matte paint job costing an additional $20,000. There are also three interior colors: black, red and violet.
Engine wise the enhancements include a modified version of the 4.8-litre V10 engine with 562-horsepower, or only 10-horsepower more. Gear-shift time will be reduced to 0.15 seconds — a 0.05 second decrease.
According to the automaker, the LFA Nürburgring Package will cost US$70,000 (MSRP) on top of the US$375,000 (€295,300) potential customers are expected to part with. A matt black exterior can be had for an extra US$20,000.
