No new road-going supercar for us yet, but perhaps you Lexus fans will be interested in this, the LFA GTE. It’s a race car that was teased by Lexus factory racing car driver Akira Iida via Twitter.
Akira calls the car his next challenge, but doesn’t go into detail about it. However, we know from previous sighting that it’s a wind tunnel mockup of the LFA GTE prototype race car residing in Toyota Motorsport headquarters in Germany.

GTE is a Le Mans style category of racing, with more x versions of road cars going head to head in two categories, LM GTE Pro and LM GTE Am. This car could be ready for next year’s Nurburgring 24 Hours.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
