The Lexus LF-​​A Nür­bur­gring Pack­age. Lim­ited to 50 only.

Although the LF-​​A is itself lim­ited to a run of only 500 units, Lexus have announced a Nür­bur­gring edi­tion of only 50 units to com­pli­ment sales.

The new edi­tion bumps the 4.8L V10’s out­put 10 horse­power to 562HP, upgrades sus­pen­sion, gains a new front split­ter, dive planes and a fixed rear wing. Trans­mis­sion changes see shift times drop 50ms to 150ms total, and the car comes in either whitest white, black,  McLaren orange, or buy­ers may option matte black at an added $20, 000 pre­mium on top of the $70, 000 pack­age cost. The LF-​​A costs $375, 000 as standard.

[Ed: If you can stand the ugli­ness of the car enhanced in orange, you’re look­ing at $445, 000 for a car that isn’t that much more impres­sive than the $85, 000 GT-​​R. If you can’t stom­ach the orange, then the matte black will mean $465, 000. ]

THE NEW SUBARU IMPREZA WRX STI R205 (Road Sport 205) is expected to con­tinue the tra­di­tions of lim­ited edi­tion high per­for­mance set by the ultra-​​rare R203 and R204 editions.

The New Sub­aru Impreza WRX STI R205…limited to 400 only

Splat­tered with STi badg­ing and high qual­ity touches thtough­out, the new R205 comes with a brand new exclu­sive tur­bocharger, sports exhaust sys­tem, STi tuned dampers and coil springs, 18″ alu­minium wheels,  exclu­sive grille and quar­ter panel upgrades, and retuned ECU.

The engine upgrades take the R205’s power to a very strong 325HP and 317.9 lb-​​ft of torque, with Brembo 6-​​pot breaks up front and 4-​​pot in the rear bring­ing the car to a quick, firm stop.

But don’t get to excited, avail­abil­ity for the R205 is cur­rently lim­ited 400 units in the JDM (that means Japan) only, and like pre­vi­ous incar­naitons, is not expected to land in the Euro­pean, US or Aus­tralian mar­kets (out­side of grey imports).

[Ed: Your move, Mitsubishi.]
