It was briefly reported back in Oct. 2009 that the new Lexus LFA will be offered in a track-spec trim package. According to a Japanese weblog, Lexus is currently working on a track edition of the Lexus LFA that will be optimized for circuit driving and will be named the Nurburgring Edition.

The model will get a fixed rear-wing, large front spoiler, sports tuned suspension and a boost of 10 horses. It will also be available in four colors including this vibrant orange you see above.

Why Lexus won’t name this special-edition LFA the “Fuji Speedway Edition” is mind-boggling to us since the LFA is a part of the Lexus “F” roots, which it says stands for the Fuji Speedway in Japan.

Refresher: Power for the Lexus LFA comes from a 4.8L V10 that makes 552-hp with a maximum torque of 354 lb-ft. Mated to a 6-speed Automated Sequential Gearbox, the LFA goes from 0-60 mph with a time of just 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 202 mph. Prices start at $375,000
