Video: LFA Owners Make Their Mark at Laguna Seca Raceway

Lexus held its first-ever LFA owners event at the Laguna Seca Raceway on August 23, 2012. Watch Scott Pruett, pro driver, give some helpful hints to nearly two dozen owners as they try their hand at one of the most prestigious race tracks in the country. Sure looks like a great time had by all!

Just a quick refresher, the Lexus LFA features a race-derived 72-degree V10 power-plant, displacing 4.8 liters and pumping out peak power of 552hp at 8,800rpm. Peak torque is 354lb-ft at 6,800rpm with 90 percent available between 3,700 and 9,000 revs.

 

It's pretty awesome Lexus has gone such lengths to stay involved with LFA owners, and is enhancing their ownership beyond delivery. Mclaren, while not doing the exact same thing, also stays active with their owners. It's great to see manufacturer's doing this. It's interesting that they're both - generally speaking - somewhat new to the exotic game too. Business 101, separate your self from the competition. These two are doing just that. I hope to continue seeing such efforts to do new things from them and others.

 

wow.. hadnt seen that green LFA before.. Looks amazing!
