According to those in the know, we have only begun to start seeing the most special LFAs arrive. In recent months we've received behind the scenes pictures of LFAs in special color combinations; however, we haven't seen the illustrious Nurburgring Package-equipped vehicle actually sold to a customer.
That all changed as the FIRST LFA Nurburgring Package hit our shores and landed at the LFA prep facility.
The owner clearly wanted something special and they definitely got it. THIS particular LFA is even MORE unique thanks to some special additions:
- Unpainted carbon fiber roof (only seen on LFA prototypes)
- Unpainted carbon fiber winglets over rear taillights
- Color-matched airbag seatbelts
- Upper dash in red with white stitching
- White leather door panels with red leather door grabs
- Std. LFA seats in red over Alcantara-lined race seats
These subtle changes may make it the MOST unique LFA to come out of the factory yet.
Houston, the Nürburgring has landed! That's right, LFA #288--the Western Hemisphere's first Lexus LFA Nürburgring Package*--was delivered yesterday in Southern California!
This $70k upgrade package is more than just a name and some pretty bits--it actually has legit credentials. Lexus race driver Akira Iida piloted one around the Green Hell in a blistering 7:14.64, making it the fourth fastest car to ever make the run. LFA #288 is not just 1 of 50 Nürburgring Package cars allocated (not all 50 will be built), it's probably the only customized and undoubtedly the most expensive LFA ever built! Half a million dollar LFA anyone?
