Just read on twitter that the LFA Nurburgring edition is at said track. Apparently they'll have the whole track to themselves! Perfect time for a hot lap?

Who cares? I want to see a full all-out lap video with quality sound by Akira Iida of the Lexus LFA Nurburgring edition.

I care, I asked. Thanks for the link Tilps, I found it on the EV World website a little while ago.

My estimate wasn't too far off. I figured a 7:45 lap time would be around what they could do. If the top speed was higher they'd have gone faster, but it was a solid lap.

They have the "driver's experience" program going on these days. That is why they have the whole Nurburgring track to themselves??

I wonder if they will be releasing video footages of the laps with the owners? More importantly, if they will take this opportunity to video tape an official lap time of the Nurburgring edition LFA.

Did they say, if both the standard and Nurburgring edition will be used for the event or only the 'ring edition??

I don't know for sure, I just went to twitter and typed in LFA. Maybe it was a tweet from a possible buyer? I just quoted what they said.

Looks so good, can't stop looking at it. I love the front lip and the wing. I think it 'completes' the car. Found this- it's chasing an IS-F it seems.
