Lexus LFA 'Ring edition

By Sam Hardy

It's already one of the rarest supercars on the planet – but Lexus has gone a stage further with this special edition LF-A!

Called the Nurburgring Edition, it honours the famous German racing circuit where the LF-A was developed. Inspired by the competition versions that raced at the 12.9-mile track, it gets a huge fixed rear wing and front splitter, stiffer, more adjustable suspension and lightweight alloys with track-spec tyres.

Lexus engineers have also liberated an extra 10bhp from the LF-A's 4.8-litre V10 engine, taking total power output to 562bhp. A range of four colours will be available – including gloss black, matt black and orange – while the production run is expected to be tiny, given that just 500 examples of the 'standard' LF-A will be built. Expect a price tag in excess of £400,000 too.
