These Super Rare Exotics Are Tuned For Green Hell

LFA Nurburgring Edition 

Announced nine months before its December 2010 production start, Lexus LFA Nurburgring Edition was revealed shortly after the LFA achieved a third-class win at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring race in May 2010. 

Chief engineer Haruhiko Tanahashi and chief test driver Hiromu Naruse led the development of this best-sounding supercar of all time, which featured improved aerodynamics, a larger front chin spoiler, and a fixed GT-style rear wing, which together increased downforce by 30 percent.

The LFA NE sat on lowered 10mm sport-tuned suspension, while maximum power was boosted to 563 bhp, allowing it to maintain a top speed of 201 mph and accelerate to 62 mph in just 3.7 seconds.

Aesthetic options were limited to four exterior colors and three interior schemes, with all editions featuring carbon fiber elements and Alcantara-trimmed bucket seats. Buyers received personalized instruction on the Nordschleife and a complimentary one-year driving pass. The Nürburgring Edition set a remarkable record with a lap time of 7:14.64, achieved in a completely standard and rather underappreciated car. 

Toyota sold every Lexus LFA incurring a loss. These days, however, to get your hands on one, you would have to shell out at least a million dollars.

Dodge Viper ACR 

Every car on my list was backed by billion-dollar factory efforts and state-of-the-art facilities trackside, but in a true American fashion, the team behind the fastest manual car to lap the Green Hell was a small independent group of enthusiasts who gave it all, guts and glory style

 “Everyone thought it was good for a 6:55, “Not one of them thought it couldn’t do that. Every single driver said this car is unbelievable.”- Russ Oasis

This endeavor was spearheaded by Dominik Farnbacher, renowned for his expertise in track modifications, alongside drivers Luca Stolz and Lance Arnold. Without any official backing from Dodge or FCA.

The team got their hands on a bone-stock Viper ACR fitted with street-legal Kumho tires and lapped the ring in just 7.01.3 seconds thanks to Arnold’s gargantuan effort. A number that has exotics like 2000 hp Rimac Nevera and Lamborghini Huracán Performante do a walk of shame.

Even doing a lap, let alone setting a lap record in the Green Hell while trying to reign in one of the most suicidal cars of all time is sheer madness.

The team behind the Viper ACR’s record lap had to put up with a lot of BS like exploding tires and an unfortunate car crash that ended the run. Had money and the lattermost incident not been an issue, the Viper ACR would have been a thundering sub-7-second slap in the face of Porsche drivers.

BMW E34 M5 Nürburgring

Designing a four-door family hauler to hoon around the Nurburgring is something only BMW is crazy enough to attempt. The Nurburgring Handling Package equipped M5s came with driver switchable suspension -Wheels widths 8" front and 9" rear along with Servotronic steering. An inch thicker anti-roll bar also came standard.

A period correct ‘S38B38’ 3.8-litre naturally aspirated inline-six, delivering 335bhp to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission. 

Porsche 918 Spyder 

Th 918 is the first production car to crack the 7-minute barrier with a time of 6 minutes 57 seconds, a feat neither P1 nor La Ferrari could replicate. The special Weissach Package further reduced the weight and came with lighter body panels, seats, and a special livery. It packed a screaming 4.0 L V8 and a trio of electric motors that made 875 hp and 944 lb-ft of torque.

Mercedes AMG-ONE

One of the most delayed hypercars ever shattered the fastest production car of all time record not once but twice. Just recently, it lapped the green hell putting a staggering 6 min 29 second lap on the leaderboard.

The car was delayed for over 4 years due to an RPM issue which resulted in higher idling emissions, not conforming with the Euro 6 laws.

The AMG-ONE is the only hypercar to have a proper F1 engine featuring a 1.6-liter V6 turbocharged engine derived from Mercedes' F1 power units, it produces an astonishing 1,063 horsepower when combined with four electric motors. This hybrid powertrain enables the AMG One to achieve a 0-60 mph time of just 2.7 seconds, with a top speed of around 217 mph.

It also comes with theatrical Strat Mode 2, which lowers the car, opens up th defender flares, and pops out the rear wing.
