Let s go to Fuji Speedway in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan

The entire day at the Fuji Speedway to meet with my friends and test drive few rockets....

The Corvette C6 ZR-1

The ZR1 is capable of reaching a top speed of 192 mph (309 km/h)

 

The wheels are the largest ever placed on a production Corvette, with both front and rear wheels increasing in size and diameter over the Corvette Z06. Carbon-ceramic brakes are included. The brake calipers are painted blue, as are the engine intercooler trim and the ZR1 logo. Magnetic Selective Ride Control is also included on the car, with sensors to automatically adjust stiffness levels based on road conditions and vehicle movement. (source Wikipedia)

Carbon fiber is used on the roof, hood, fenders, front splitter, and rocker moldings; the hood and fenders are painted over, while the roof and splitter are merely covered in a clear-coat, retaining their black color. A polycarbonate window is placed in the center of the hood, allowing the engine intercooler to be seen from the exterior. (source Wikipedia)

The Lexus LFA.Nürburgring ..one of the best... 50 units only??

Let's start with one of my favorite car: the Lexus LFA

The production of Lexus LFA vehicles were expected to carry V10 engines, putting the car in market competition with the Lamborghini Gallardo, Ferrari F430, the Porsche 911(997), and the Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR1. (source Wikipedia)

Two LF-A prototypes had also competed at Nürburgring VLN endurance races in mid-2009.
In September 2009, reports in Japanese automotive magazines indicated that the 4.8 L V10 engine for the LF-A would carry a 1LR designation. A subsequent television ad for the Japanese market showed the pre-production LFA testing at the Fuji Speedway. (source Wikipedia)

During LFA production, each vehicle received an individually numbered plaque, indicating the unit's place in the production run. Each LFA V10 engine carried the signature of the specialist who assembled it.

With 20 units produced monthly, production of the entire LFA extended from December 2010 to December 2012. Production ended on December 14, 2012, with LFA #500, in white, Nürburgring package. When production ended, no successor was scheduled. The LFA plant in Motomachi continued making parts with a small team.

Let s test drive it
