Not bad (if that is what it was close to in reality). About 6 seconds slower than the LFA. Lexus LFA at 0:53.

Mind you, LFA time attack with Chris Ward was one of the very fastest ever about even with the 800 HP McLaren P1 having 0:53 (LFA was faster than the 458 Speciale, Porsche 911 991 Turbo S, SLS AMG Black Series, Pagani Huayra, McLaren 650S etc.)

The P1 only did an electric lap. 90% of the way through it went to the ICE. Same with the 918 Porsche. The fastest 'production car' was the GTR NISMO, which went through in 49.27. But, it, like the P1 time of last year were done on cars not in production. So technically, the LFA is the fastest.

Yes, the GTR NISMO was camouflaged without DOT approved tires so technically it was not a production car, yet it is being treated like a production car. The true production GTR with Sir Chris Hoy understeered on a left hander and hit the haystack.

So LFA should be called the fastest proper production car (despite being 10 years old and having traction problems in the first half of the lap).

NE would be even faster. Probably get 52's or 51's with a good launch. Too bad no official times were set by the other 'supercar class' cars.

Yes, the Nurburgring Edition has more mechanical grip. It would have put down an even more impressive lap time of around 0:50 - 0:51. Wish they had entered the NE as well.
