2. Lexus LFA

This LFA was raced by the Gazoo Racing team in the 24 hours Nurburgring endurance race. Although the LFA was based on mass-production and not solely for racing, it's still extremely close in performance to the GT3. This LFA driven by Akio Toyoda delivered impressive speed and handling in the endurance race. The race car is equipped with a 5.3-liter V-10 engine.
