Up to 50 ring cars will be built and there is no minimum.

I would not make any assumptions on how many have been ordered.

It could well be zero for all we know. Imagine what that would do to the CEC package plan if that were the case.

I doubt 0 have been ordered. I'm thinking some in Germany have taken advantage of it. You never know. I bet there will be quite a few in Europe actually, since the year pass to the Nurburgring is included, as well as a track day there with their driver, right?

Yes I did.

I added the SoCal LFA only after it was directly posted on the Longo Lexus website with pictures of the delivery so there was zero doubt at the time I had posted. That is why when I read the rominl confirmation, the first thought that came to my mind was that it must be a different LFA since the Longo Lexus was confirmed already.

That's why he said "the news is out..."

Did you read my post about unit number updates ??

I was under the impression CEC was going with 3 custom Nürburgring Editions regardless - not that these would simply be customized customer cars - so I figured at least 3 would come to the US. I can e-mail Claus Ettensberger and ask.

My comments were based on the following points from Edmunds

CEC offers a tuner kit for the 2011 Lexus LFA with the Nurburgring package.
The LFA kit doesn't include any performance modifications, just wheels and lots of carbon fiber.
CEC will only offer the kit to three customers.

This is the correct interpretation - CEC will be offering three tuner kits to existing buyers of the Nürburgring Edition, so they will simply be customized customer cars. Sorry for the confusion from my prior post - I was basing my info off the Claus Ettensberger interview, which lacked clarity on this point.

^^^ I'm sure we will be seeing more than a few Nurburgring packaged LFA's...
(USA or even other markets)

Seeing them in on other colors will be lots of fun, once they start pumping them out...

Reminds me of the LFA convertible concept color from a couple of years ago...

Counting the days for yours I bet...

That pearl white one is one matching car. Looks good with the 'gold' brake calipers and the stitching inside matching with it. while the white leather seats go with the exterior color.
