Lexus LF-A Race Car Makes Surprise Appearance at Pebble Beach
Battered and bruised, Lexus had on display one of the two LF-A race cars that competed at this year's Nürburgring 24 Hour race. We're left to assume this isn't the model that caught fire during the grueling endurance car race.
The showing of the car is surprising considering Lexus didn't exactly hang with the best. Still, it did manage an impressive 7:13 lap time in the ‘almost stock' class, meaning we should expect the production model to deliver impressive performance.
When it does finally make its way to the street, the LF-A will be powered by a 550hp V10, capable of a top speed of 218 mph. The production model is expected to debut at the Tokyo Auto Show this Fall.
The LF-A marks a new direction for Lexus, moving outside its luxury comfort zone and into the territory of exotics. Importantly, one of the two LF-A racers at the Nürburgring was piloted by Toyota's newly appointed CEO Akio Toyoda.
