Lexus LFA Nurburgring Model Coming?

Ever since its introduction, news about the LFA has almost been primarily about the unique leasing purchasing process, pricing and the like.

Finally, we get some more news about the actual product itself. A few months back, Paul Williamsen, the National Manager of Lexus College, revealed that Lexus was considering a track-focused model of the LFA. The Nurburgring is that car.

Interestingly, the special edition model is supposed to be out of the existing 500 unit run. This is unusual because manufacturers (like Bentley with the Veyron) typically use special edition models to extend the run. Given Lexus plans not to do so, expect a small allocation for the Nurburgring model.

Right now details on the car are sparse - either because the changes are small, or because not much is known about the car yet. It will be getting a large, fixed rear wing, front splitter, adjustable suspension tuned to be stiffer, 10 horsepower bump and lightweight alloys wheels with track tires.

In addition, there will be four colors to choose from - glossy black, matte black, orange (pictured), and another color not known yet. We're love orange so we think the LFA Nurburgring in orange is the best looking LFA we've seen.
