Another day, another record broken at the Nürburgring--unofficially.
Lexus test driver Akira Iida is said to have posted a lap time of 7 minutes, 14 seconds at the famed track driving--what else--a Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition.
along with a confirmation from Lexus Europe's Twitter feed.
If the time holds, it should put the LFA in fifth place for all-time fastest lap on the 154-turn, 13-mile track. It's trumped only by some extremely exotic cars, like the Gumpert and the Radical, which are barely considered production. The cars it beat are just as impressive: think the Porsche 911 GT2, the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and the Nissan GT-R.
No video has been released yet, and the time is clearly unofficial. The last recorded Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition time around the circuit was 7 minutes, 22 seconds. We'll keep tracking this to see whether the time is verified.
