Here’s something Toyotaku can be proud of. According to Lexus’ official twitter stream, the Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition has just run the Nürburgring in 7:14 at the hands of driver Akira Iida. This is the quickest time from a mainstream automaker (ie, a marque the average person has heard of), beating the next fastest, a Porsche 911 GT2 RS, by four seconds. Corolla drivers, you can hold their heads up a little bit higher. Hiromu Naruse would be proud.
This is a really nice car. Kudos to Toyota for putting it together.
good for Toyota.. but the car itself, unlike the GTR is so out of reach.
Cost/Performance is still held by Nissan’s GTR!
I’ve often lamented the fact that I weren’t around when the Toyota 2000GT was launched,but the instant legend that is the LFA more than makes up for it.
