Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition sets lap time of

High-res photos: www.worldcarfan...
We now have the official track time for the Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition.
Driver Akira Iida clocked a lap time of 7:14.64 on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife on August 31. The special edition LFA did it using its standard-issue (road-legal) Bridgestone Potenza RE070 tires.
The LFA Nürburgring Package is scheduled to go into a limited-run production in 2012. Only 50 units will be from a total LFA production run of 500 models.
The Nürburgring Edition of the LFA comes with a carbon fiber body kit, a re-tuned suspension and an upgraded 6-speed sequential gearbox. It is powered by a 4.8-liter V10 engine with 562 hp (419 kW / 570 PS) - the standard LFA has an output of 412 kW (560 PS). The complete package costs an additional $70,000 but delivers a 0-100 km/h sprint of just 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph).

[@em1sleeper]

Time was confirmed by Lexus as 7:14.64, a video was provided. OEM Bridgestone Potenza RE070 street tires had been used. The LFA Nurburgring Package is the only car ever to have lapped Nurburgring in less than 7:20 without racing compound super-slick competition tires such as Michelin Pilot Sport Cup R compound track tires or Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires

[@annonymously331]

P Zero Corsas are not really R compound tyres tbh

[@jahmsey]

⁠@@max.racingand dual clutch, having faster shifts makes a huge difference

[@annonymously331]

@HighocHighrevRE070 Potenza is slower or comparable than the pilot sport cup, which is slower than the pilot sport cup2, which is 10s slower than the cup 2R. So pretty safe to say that the LFA could make up 15s on cup 2R

[@dvaritek434]

​@@annonymously331agreed. Exit speed is everything at the ring. Might be high 50s but sub 7 for sure

[@person2186]

Spot on! This car is a legend. By the way big parts of the Ring are retarmaced last 13+ years since that lap. Newer records are not equivalent to this one and they are with cup2r tires and even full race ones and later the manufacturer says we used road tires. Also equipment is thrown away to save weight and most cases they say because we add roll cage for safety okey but you remove 150kg and add 40kg roll cage... okey... all that said LFA is masterpiece of engineering. I only wish I had the money needed to buy one. If I had them I wouldn't buy the newer faster cars but less soul in them and precisions engineering and craft. But the LFA! ❤

[@fromfareastindy8234]

It is a great record that has not yet faded away! It shows plainly that the LFA is a serious real sports car that is fundamentally different from other supercars of the time. Many people are amazed and admire the sound of the LFA's engine and its appearance, but professional racers are amazed by its suspension and body rigidity. Remove the LFA's undercover and you will see machined aluminum reinforcement parts stretched out like a stock car. The racing suspension with surge tank clearly incorporates the technology of a racing machine used around the track. There are no turbos or motors anywhere, not to mention the amazing electronic controls and drive distribution features. The suspension is unbelievably flexible for its insanely low center of gravity and low ride height, and never bottoms out on any surface. The driver can push the V10 engine and brakes to their limits with the confidence of an immensely reliable suspension. Lexus did not add any special equipment to the car for this video to give it a track time advantage. In addition, Lexus added unnecessary weight for the sake of safety. If some crazy rich person were to put S tires on the LFA, remove the plush interior and passenger seat, install racing aerodynamics and lightweight acrylic windows, and hire a professional racing driver with his head unscrewed in a carbon Recaro seat to drive it around this track, he would be able to achieve a time of around 6 minutes and 50 seconds. It is quite possible that a time of around 6 minutes and 50 seconds could be achieved on this track. Unfortunately, there are only a little more than 500 LFAs in the world, and not many people have thought of modifying them. One of the few who did, however, switched the car to a 2JZ for drifting. It may be better than having it sit in the dust in the garage, but to be honest, it's ridiculous.

[@marwood9421]

People underestimate how impressive this lap is. 7:14 with standard Bridgestone Potenza tyres. Todays equivalent of the PS4S. Porsche do all of their lap records with PS Cup 2R tyres. Imagine what this would do with Cup 2Rs 🤯

@whothaplaya What are you trying to argue? The LFA Nurburgring version stomped the ZR1, period. The ZR1 did more than 2 laps around the ring and you would be out of your mind if you think otherwise. They had to do so in order to improve upon the times. Also bottom line is no one is going to be able to reproduce the Nurburgring times that the ZR1 did around the ring.

[@12345678939218]

With the sport cup tires and the right driver it could probably lap the ring faster than an acr but that an if situation so who knows.

THE funny truth is that the ACR used sticky Semi Slick Michelin Cup tires, the same tires the Corvette ZR1 uses whilst the LFA uses standard OEM Bridgestone Potenza RE70 street performance tires and still manages to catch up the Viper, that alone shows how much potential the LFA has.

[@whothaplaya]

@Bfagayl 7:14 is an impressive time. This Car was built and tuned specifically for the Nurbugring and has an added roll cage. The ZR1 ONLY DID two laps around the Nurbugring and got 7:19. There's no point in comparing the cars though. One you can't even consider a production car and the other you can get at many Chevy dealers or get one in 2 months exactly with all the options you want. ZR1= high perfromance production car LFA Nurbugring= purpose built street legal track car

[@myke6699]

Actually the tire used by both ACR and ZR1 is the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup (with ZP or Zero Pressure for the ZR1). Both are semi-slick and are competiton DOT tires but they're not super slick or R compound. R compound are not road legal whereas the Michelins are. But you're right compared to the tires used by LFA or even the GTR, the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup has less thread count and minimal rolling resistance.

Don't you mean the SRT TA? I can see what you are trying to say but the SRT TA is a newer car than the ACR and uses more advanced techs. And tyres do make quiet a bit of a difference and do shave off a few seconds in terms of lap time. I'll admit though, the TA is quiet impressive.

In any case, its hard to imagine that semi-slick track tires would add to lap times. That's like saying perhaps sneakers would slow a runner down as opposed to flip-flops...

Dude, the tires make a huge difference. With a same car, same driver but one using slick and the other one using non-slick, the 7 minutes lap time can be over 20 seconds faster for the slick. But if it rains suddenly, the slick could end-up in a towing car.

@DoggyB22 I'm confused now... There's no any American car ever won and raced 24 hours of European LeMans. Porsche and Audi are winners mostly, and Peugeot. Last time in 1970. Ford GT1 Mk1 won, but that was British version with 427 V8 OHV tuned by Cosworth. Corvette C6.R (LS7 600bhp) is winner of ALMS (American LeMans Series, that's quite different, because European LeMans cars are faster).

[@LeMansZ06CorvetteZR1]

This lap time is indeed impressive. Viper ACR lapped I believe 7min 12sec. The big difference between the LFA Nurburgring (here) and the normal LFA is 10 more hp, additional carbon spliters for downforce and an fixed spoiler as well as lighter alloy wheels. The original LFA did it in 7min 38sec. Kind of being bias here, but the LFA, ACR, and 911 GT2 all have fixed spoilers, oppose to the ZR1. My point here is, what if an ZR1/Z06, Enzo had an fixed spoiler? Just a thought.

[@annonymously331]

The 7:38 lap was not done by a professional driver. To put it into context, a GTR did 7:44 on the same test.

Oh well I guess it wasn't going to last forever the ACR Viper has just lowered the NE LFA's laptime at the Nurburgring by 2 seconds and recorded a time of 7 min.12.2 sec's a really good effort.I do wonder if it used the Michelin Semi's that every other carmaker seems to use. What really makes me wonder is how good the NE LFA would also go with these superior semi's than these RE070 Bridgestones Lexus chose to use.
