One of just 25 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Package models delivered in the U.S. is heading to the RM Sotheby's Aug. 14 auction as part of Monterey Car Week.
Designed to sharpen up the LFA's performance even further, the Nürburgring Package added more-aggressive aerodynamic elements, including a larger front spoiler, dive planes, and a large fixed rear wing.
The LFA's 4.8-liter V-10 also got a 10-horsepower bump, to 562 hp, while shifts from the 6-speed single-clutch automated gearbox were quickened by 0.15 second, per Lexus.
