    1 of 50 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Editions Heading For Auction

    The Lexus LFA is just one of those cars that will go down in history as a engineering masterpiece and of course a collectors item (eventually).

    Lexus only made 500 units of them worldwide and each unit was custom ordered to the customer’s specifications, and cost approximately US$375,000, depending on options and customization. This was certainly not cheap back in 2010 when it was officially in production but Lexus went one step further with the LFA Nürburgring Edition which made up just 50 units of the 500 unit production run.

    This package meant the V10 gained an extra 7 kW (10 hp) bringing the total to 420 kW (563 hp). It also features a re-calibrated transmission with gear shifts made faster by 0.05 seconds. Visually it gained a new front splitter, aero canards and a large fixed rear wing but the package also meant your LFA got stiffer and more adjustable suspension and lightweight alloy wheels wrapped in track rubber.

    All of these changes mean this LFA will run the 0 to 100 km/h sprint in just 3.7 seconds running onto a top speed of 325 km/h, exactly the same as the standard car.

    The Nürburgring Package was only avilable in four exterior colours namely; glossy black, matte black, race yellow, and whitest white and the price tag was a very steep US$445,000. This tag included training sessions at the Nordschleife, accompanied by Nürburgring chief instructors, a one-night stay at the Lindner Congress and Motorsport Hotel Nürburgring, admission to the ring°werk leisure park, a Nürburgring branded jacket, and a one-year pass to the circuit.

    With its namesake on the line, the LFA Nürburgring Edition completed a lap of the Nurburgring with a respectable time of 7:14.64.

    One of these units is headed for auction with Barrett-Jackson next month and it has just 1,600 miles (2,574 km) on the clock. This Nürburgring Edition LFA is claimed to have one owner and is finished in the race yellow hue (even though it looks orange).

    Back in 2013 a white example with sold for US$505,000 and that unit had just 325 miles on the clock but in January this year a different white LFA Nürburgring Edition sold for a whopping US$825,000.

    So with slightly higher mileage we estimate this unit to be sold for around the US$600,000 to US$700,000 which is still a lot of money to part with.

    Something that may help you get that sort of money is winning some cash so check out the Review of Fantasino casino to stand the chance of buying your dream ride.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?

    • The new BMW M240i xDrive barely puts a foot wrong. The price is right, it's crushingly quick, more than practical enough to daily and if you only look at the front, it is very easy on the eye 😉 

It pulls properly hard, doesn’t feel turbocharged in its response, and delivers thrills when you want them. The extra confidence and pace afforded by the sweet pairing of the straight-six petrol engine and the rear-biased xDrive AWD system make the M240i an enticing proposition all of its own.

If you gave any BMW fan a wish list and asked them to build the perfect car given the company's current resources, it probably wouldn't be too far off this one.
