Cannot wait to see the Nurburgring edition LFA blasting around Goodwood track at festival.

From the clips I have seen, the stock exhaust on the 'ring edition is substantial louder. It could very well be a "race version" of the stock LFA exhaust. However, I have not heard it at 9500 rpm, which I am sure will simply be epic.

Man is it me.. or are those wheels tucked well inside the fenders.. ?
Might just be a bad picture angle.
Honestly, I do not think the Exhaust will be significantly louder.. It's already high pitched & tuned.
Might be a combination of modifications to the intake boxes and/or also packing inside the muffler design to free up 10 ponies..
Or
How about the exhaust & intakes remain exactly the same and the 10 HP comes out of the motor via a slight tune to the Engine ECU. (thats my bet)

That is one of the issues I have about LFA's looks.
The wheels do not sit flush with the fender line, which always contributes greatly to the looks of the car. Although, from what I remember looking at the concept pictures of the 'ring edition, they were sitting flush with the fenders.

Remember how slammed the non-production ISF was? Or the LS600 that was lowered? Or the SC430 that got wheel's spacers?
I always wonder if I can sue Lexus for false advertising? The cars they sell sure don't look like the car they show

It's called CAMBER. The wheels aren't flush because of the negative camber. This was apparent on the regular LFA. The Ring edition probably has a bit more camber and it sits lower. Nice picture BTW. This will be it's 'debut' outside an autoshow.
