LF-A caught hot-lapping the Nurburgring

Edmunds.com has footage of the upcoming Lexus LF-A supercoupe banging in a few laps at the hallowed Nurburgring track in Germany. The latest info indicates the LF-A will pack 500bhp from a 5-litre V10 unit. It certainly sounds the part, both figuratively and sonically, but more importantly it seems the Japanese are doing their homework. As well as making sure the LF-A masters the 'Ring, the car sports a very serious looking ground-effect rear venturi.
