It was closed so I couldn’t drive on it, but I’m sure the little X3 wasn’t gonna be setting any new lap records. I took that poor thing down the autobahn at about 120 mph whenever traffic would allow for about 6 hours to get here from my parent’s house. Ohh well, the security guy was nice and let me through the gate even though they were closed for testing. I guess that lap record will have to wait, however these guys might have a chance…
They had Lexus badges on them and a whole bunch of guys around them that didn’t speak a word of German or English, or anything I can understand. I have no idea what the car is that they were testing, but It was pretty fucking sweet.
Maybe they were testing engines, I could swear that third exhaust hole in the back had a turbo connected to it like it was a dump pipe.
Here it was on track. They must have been testing something in particular, because the driver was really all over the place with it and not really following a good “line”
“Lexus LF-A blends the performance of an exotic sports car with the luxury refinements of a Lexus, and we anticipate that the model will be sold at more than 2 million yuan ($264,700) here in China.”
The price seems rather high, but it fits with the markup usually seen with a Chinese release. For example, the LS600hL, sold in the USA for $104,000, retails in China for $210,263. If the ratio is the same, could the LF-A retail in North America for $129,703?
