Lexus LFA Nürburgring Package is available in Matte Black, Black, White or Orange. aerodynamic performance of the LFA Nürburgring package has been modified through the revision and addition of several key carbon fiber reinforced plastic components. Combine to offer high-speed increases downforce, these modifications include a larger front spoiler, side spoiler fin type, fin canard, and the fixed rear wing.

Lexus LFA powered by a V10 engine. This machine bespoke that set new standards for automotive compact dimensions, lightweight architecture and scintillating performance. From the beginning, Tanahashi-san and his engineers determined that the mid-front powerplant LFA-mount will have a capacity of 4805cc, will develop 412kW/560 DIN hp (Lexus LFA Nurburgring package: 420kW/571 DIN hp) and round to the 9000 rpm redline wail. This will display a wide 72 ° angle between the cylinder head - the perfect angle for the balance of primary and secondary characteristics of the V10 engine to run very smoothly. This will naturally aspirated for linear power delivery and predictable, with superb throttle response of the individual, electronically controlled throttle body for each cylinder.

 
The V10 powerplant generates 480Nm of torque at 7,000rpm. The application of intelligent VVT-i variable valve timing on both intake and exhaust combined with equal length exhaust manifolds and high-volume 12-hole fuel injectors results in 90% of this formidable torque being available between 3,700rpm and the 9,000rpm red line, for searing in-gear acceleration at any engine speed and in any gear. The result is a 0-100km/h time of just 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 325km/h - exhilarating performance from a bone fide supercar.


The LFA is the first supercar to wear the Lexus badge and, as with every Lexus, features class-leading active and safety levels. Key to the LFA's occupant protection is the incredibly strong and robust carbon fibre reinforced plastic central structure. Stiffer, stronger and lighter than any equivalent metal structure, the carbon fibre tub provides the ultimate in impact protection, as well as a solid platform for the LFA's advanced front and rear crash boxes.

Standard safety equipment also includes SRS front and seat belt airbags for driver and passenger as well as single-stage knee airbag for driver. The driver-side SRS front airbag deploys in two stages, controlled according to the position of the seat, the intensity of the impact and whether or not the driver is wearing a seatbelt.

The Nürburgring Package will carry a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $70,000. Matte black will carry an additional cost of $20,000. The standard LFA carries a MSRP of $375,000.
