Lexus LFA Nurburgring Racecar Screaming and Smoking Tires

There’s only one car Lexus built that’s crazier than the LFA mode. No, it’s not the RC F, it’s the race version LFA of course.

The Lexus LFA racecar is powered by the same 4/8-liter V10 engine making 560 PS and 480 Nm of torque, but the car runs on slick tires, has a further tuned suspension and ditches all the luxury from its interior to make room for a lightweight roll cage.

This results in a lap of the Nurburgring done in “less than 7 minutes 20 seconds” as chief engineer Haruhiko Tanahashi said after the company put the car under some tests on the famous circuit.

However, the video bellow is not going to teach you anything about the track beast, other than the fact it can do quite some well doughnuts.
