The Lexus LFA is already the company's halo model, but the company has announced that 50 of the 500 cars built will come with the new Nürburgring Package. It squeezes an extra 10bhp out of the car's 4.8-litre V10 engine, for a total power output of 562bhp. The six-speed automated manual transmission has also been uprated for faster gear shifts.
The production Lexus LFA features a new V10 engine and a carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) body. CFRP materials account for 65 percent of the LFA's body composition by mass. The LFA is scheduled to go into production in late 2010, with a projected run of 500 vehicles at the base price of US$375,000. A circuit-tuned variant is scheduled for 2012.
