The Lexus press machine will miss absolutely no opportunity to garner more hype for the mythical LF-A concept car. This time it's parked two of them together.
That's actually it. So, there you go; here are two race-liveried LF-A concepts, parked together for the very first time. They're both about to compete in the Nurburgring 24-hour race, and expectation is high after the team running them, Gazoo Racing, took the podium in the four-hour race at the 'Ring earlier in the year.
The team is made up of Toyota test drivers and other pro racers and, in essence, it's all just a big development exercise for the 500bhp V10 supercar - if it ever actually makes production, that is. We'll believe it when Lexus delivers one to the office car park, which, in fairness, is actually a pretty exciting prospect.
