Lexus (http://www.autoblog.com/lexus/) and its LFA (http://www.autoblog.com/lexus/lfa/) may be still fairly young in the supercar world, but that doesn't mean the model has lacked for variants in its scant two-year existence. Last year we were given the Nürburgring Edition (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/03/02/geneva-2011-lexus-lfa-nurburgring-package-is-an-orange-crush/) to chew on, and we've seen, periodically, some other very limited-edition models out and about.
The car that you see here - noted on the bodywork as "AD-X" - is another branch on the old family tree, then. Our sources indicate that the AD-X follows a naming convention for LFA special projects, the first of which going by AD-A (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/06/26/radical-lexus-lfa-final-edition-rounds-the-ring/), with an AD-B model also spotted over the last few months. All of the cars in question have been one-off models, so that is what we are anticipating with this red and white beauty, too.
Accenting the racy red/white livery are a black hood, roof, and wing; all of which are said to be unpainted carbon fiber, rather than a different shade of paint. That the car also wears an even more aggressive than standard body kit - you'll notice an extra chin spoiler on the front fascia of the car - which speaks to what we believe to be a higher level of performance overall. More power than the standard LFA's 552 horsepower could certainly be coaxed from the 4.8-liter V10, too. We'll wait for further word from Lexus and hope for a nice, round 600-horsepower output figure.Lexus LFA Special Edition AD-X spied (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/10/10/lexus-lfa-special-edition-ad-x-spied/) originally appeared on Autoblog (http://www.autoblog.com) on Wed, 10 Oct 2012 16:57:00 EST.
