Last week, Lexus had rented out the whole Nurburgring track for one ‘banzai’ attempt to set a new record time. Ten minutes was all they got, enough for only a single lap of the track.
Currently, the official Lexus LFA record is at 7:14, set back in September last year by a car equipped with the Nurburgring Edition package.
The new LFA they used is the AD-X we showed you in our spyshots section recently. The automaker has basically denied the existence of the AD-A and AD-B, calling them test platforms. However, they are much to well thought out to be that.
This latest car, the AD-X features red wheels and stripes on a white body, much like a Porshe 911 GT3 RS. It’s also got a huge wing at the back, a carbon fiber diffuser and small winglets.
This video was shot by Bridge to Gantry and barely shows the LFA AD-X as it flies by at blistering speed. However, if the really broke the record, a press announcement is imminent.
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.
