Scoop: Is Lexus Preparing One Final Special Edition Version of its LFA? [w/Video]

A teal colored Lexus LFA prototype with some interesting details captured the attention of our spy photographers at the Nürburgring Nordschleife.

For starters, this particular LFA model is equipped with the Nürburgring Edition package that includes a front spoiler made from CFRP (carbon fibre reinforced plastic), a fixed rear-wing, fin-type side spoilers, a canard fin plus exclusive mesh-type wheels.

If you look a little bit closer, however, you will notice several differences such as the carbon fiber dressed hood with the additional air-vents and roof, the larger and more rounded rear wing and the black stripes with the “AD-A” nameplate just above the side sills.

At the rear end of the car, Lexus has removed the three central exhaust pipes and replaced them with twin pipes on either side just under the tail lamps, while there’s also a new rear diffuser.

Some of the changes seen on this model suggest that Lexus may have tweaked the V10 engine as well, which is rated at 552hp for the regular model and at 562hp for the Nürburgring Edition.

Our first thought goes to a final edition of the LFA to commemorate the end of production and which could be revealed later this year, possibly at the Tokyo Motor Show in November.
