Saturday, May 24, 2008    Lexus LF-A competes at the 2008 24 Hours of the Nurburgring   Lexis is running the LF-A prototype at the 24 hour event to gather test data before an introduction of the car into production in 2010. This will be interesting to watch - the car is already doing 7:24 in development laps at the track, bettering the Porsche GT-2 and matching the Nissan GT-R. Note how the car is painted flat black to keep prying eyes away from the details... few of the technical details of the car are known at this early point other than that it is powered by a V-10 engine mounted in the front. We'll have to keep an eye on this one over the weekend. Kudos to Lexus engineers for having the confidence in their work to run a development prototype in a tough race like this! A conventional manufacturer might chose to enter a car after a year of production... Lexus is clearly not a conventional car company!  A completely unconfirmed rumor in the web this past week claimed that the car would retail for $225,000 US when it debuts. If true, that would take it well away from the GT-R in market competition, leaving it above Aston Martin territory and in Ferrari territory.
