Japanese racing driver Akira Iida, who has raced for Lexus and Toyota for the past 10 years, has tweeted a picture of a Lexus LFA racer on a rolling road.
The rumor is indicating that the Japanese carmaker is working on a motorsport-exclusive version of the LFA to supplement the almost stock LFA which has been using in races like the Nürburgring 24-Hour. Akira Iida didn’t reveal any details on the car, but most likely it is the long awaited LFA GTE racer which will enter in next year’s Le Mans series.
An official statement from Gazoo Racing, which could be behind the car, said: "We have no plan to use the LFA for the 2013 Nürburgring 24 Hours race". Instead they will focus on other endurance races where the LFA will have to face some serious competition coming from Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren and Mercedes.
