Hope a better quality video is uploaded soon. This is a PAL video of a Japanese car show conducting the test. The driver is Akira Iida. This video is on display at the ADAC 24-hours race screens.

This is full street production trim with standard Potenza RE70 tires. No super slick tires. It also hit 293 KM/H (VBOX) on the last straight:

Great lap and driving, the Nürburgring Edition looks much, MUCH better than the stock LFA.

Btw. RE070 is very close to semi-slicks afaik.

Yeah, you are right RE70 do have semi-slick outer shoulders and are categorized "extreme performance tires" because they blend semi-slick and all-weather traction together into one tire. In my opinion, these tires should have been OEM on the standard LFA.

I hope a converted better quality video comes up since I would like to watch it with sound etc.

LOL. That is too hilarious. Akira Iida (the driver) is a cartoon character then.

Hopefully, I can get a good quality video of this so that the Nurburgring edition LFA engine/exhaust note can clearly be heard in the video. I am sure it will be a treat to hear the Nurburgring edition high pitched shriek at 9500 rpm since it has a more open exhaust than a standard LFA.
