LEXUS LFA TO TAKE ON THE ‘RING
Lexus is heading back to the legendary Nürburgring in May to challenge for glory in the 24 Hours endurance race with its LF-A supercar.It will be the first time the production LF-A is seen in full-blooded competition, taking on one of the world’s most challenging circuits in a marathon test of speed, handling and durability. In two previous outings in the event, development versions of the LF-A were raced primarily to help hone performance and handling. This time the LF-A will line up as a prime challenger in standard production car guise.
It’s a formidable proposition: with its advanced, lightweight composite construction and 411kW mid-mounted V10 engine, it will reach 100km/h in just 3.7 seconds and race on to a top speed beyond 320km/h.
