Lexus LFA again mentioned in Top Gear Porsche 918 Spyder episode
Just watched the Top Gear episode with 918 Spyder review.
Hammond while talking about track performance of 918 Spyder said:
This [918] car lapped the Nurburgring in 6:57. To put it into context, the hardcore Lexus LFA did it in 7:14. The mighty Nissan GTR? It took almost half a minute longer.

Credit due to Nissan. That Nismo is a true Godzilla. On the subject of Nurb laps, during the broadcast of the 12 hours of Sebring, the pit commentators interviewed the Viper crew. They asked a question stating they were back at the Nurburgring, so what were they doing? The driver led on about retaking the lap record. I think a new acr may be around the corner.

For A good read about the history of lap times at Nurburgring look for a WSJ article titled "the King of the Ring" about the late Stefan Belloff in the mighty Porsche 962. A race car yes, but still fascinating.
