The Interwebs were recently aflutter with rumors that Lexus had set a new Nürburgring production car record with its LFA supercar. The Japanese automaker has stepped forward to lend credence those rumors... by producing an official video of the record-breaking 7:14.64 run. That figure represents a mighty quick 20.6-kilometer jaunt, besting efforts put forth by a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Nissan GT-R and even a Porsche 911 GT2 RS.Lexus used an even more limited-edition version of its already limited LFA known as the Nürburgring Edition. Only 50 examples are to be built, which represents 1/10th of total planned LFA production. The differences on this limited, limited-edition car can be found in the added aero bits, track-tuned suspension, custom wheels and an extra 11 horsepower. That extra oomph brings total power up to 563 horses, compared to the "standard" car's 552.
That power boost is clearly enough to push the LFA around the track more quickly than any production car has gone before. However, the inquisitive minds at The Truth About Cars bring up a good point with regards to "production car" records set on the 'Ring. Lexus only built 500 examples of the LFA, and just 50 of those are Nürburgring Edition cars. Should we consider that small production run enough for the car to qualify? If so, why can't we consider the times produced by a pair of Radical entries and a Gumpert Apollo Sport as part of the production class? If we do, then the LFA's time would actually fall to fourth. None of the aforementioned vehicles are mass-market units, but they are sold in the States, if in very limited numbers.

When you stop to think about it, locking a Lexus Spoiler onto your vehicle more than just fancies it up a bit. It’s more involved than that. Lexus is looked upon as one of the premier luxury names in the world. Highlighting your model with a spoiler doesn’t just add some aftermarket pleasure; it personalizes it, sending a signal to all that this ride is truly yours. And that’s the difference. With other luxury brands, drivers are often reluctant to mess around with the factory package, as if they feel forced to remain satisfied with the status-quo. What they don’t realize is that a custom Lexus Spoiler actually enhances the elegant dynamic these vehicles are known for, instigating a change in profile that is tasteful, classy, and exceptional.
CARiD.com hosts an unrivaled selection of Lexus Spoilers designed to draw more “you” out of your vehicle than ever before. Premium materials along with precise OEM fitments are guaranteed for each and every part because you shouldn’t have to accept anything less.
