According to an anonymous company source, Lexus will allow LFA buyers to opt for a hardcore track version of the luxury supercar.
“The LFA is such a bespoke machine that buyers can specify pretty much what they want,” a company source told Autocar. “If they choose to ask for it to be stripped out and built with track use in mind, there’s no reason why it won’t be possible.”
Although the car will be modified for track use, Lexus will leave the LFA’s 4.8-liter V-10 and six-speed automated manual transmission alone. The track-spec car will only be lightened by removing some of the luxury interior items. It’s unlikely that an LFA owner will want the car as bare-bones as the LFA race cars that ran at the 24 Hours of the Nürburgring, but we’ll wait and see.
Even with production of a lightened, track-oriented car, Lexus has no plans to run a race series for the cars.
Six years after debuting as a concept car, we’ve finally driven the production intent car and learned only 500 of Lexus’ first supercar will be produced at a price between $350,000 and $400,000.
