It's only a matter of time until the new Yaris is introduced in Europe, as the new model is already on sale in Japan, and Toyota has filed a patent with those designs indicating how the new Yaris TS will look like. As you can clearly see, there is a full body kit, while the rear lights look the same as the ones in the JDM RS version.

Full LFA Nürburgring package details!!! (updated)

Lexus Europe has released full details about the LFA Nürburgring package (earlier post), which is only available in Matte Black, Black, White or Orange exterior colours. There are also only three set of interior colour schemes - Black and Red, Black and Pur­ple, and all Black. The nice thing is that the package features a carbon fibre centre console and door trims, along with carbon fibre bucket seats trimmed in Alcantara.

Nürburgring Package is offered as an option on a maximum of 50 cars – just 10 per cent of the total LFA production run – for a $70,000 premium. These versions will be crafted during 2012, the second full year of LFA production.

To improve track dri­ving even fur­ther, the aero­dy­namic per­for­mance of the LFA with the Nürburgring pack­age will be mod­i­fied through revi­sions and addi­tions to sev­eral key car­bon fibre rein­forced plas­tic com­po­nents. Com­bin­ing to offer improved high speed down­force, these mod­i­fi­ca­tions include a larger front spoiler, fin-type side spoil­ers, canard fin, and a fixed rear wing.

Max­i­mum power will be boosted by 10PS to over 570PS. This will ensure that the LFA maintains its accel­er­a­tion time of 0-100km/h in just 3.7 sec­onds and a 325km/h max­i­mum speed, despite the addi­tional drag cre­ated by increased down­force. The gear shift time will be 0.15 seconds.

In terms of han­dling mod­i­fi­ca­tions, the Nür­bur­gring pack­age LFA will include a sports tuned suspen­sion, a vehi­cle height reduc­tion of 10mm, exclu­sive mesh-type wheels and ded­i­cated, high-grip tyres.

Scoop on Infiniti's mighty sports car!!!

According to BC, Infiniti (aka Nissan Premium Factory) will launch a mighty sports car in 2013 - 2014. Power is likely to come from either a Mercedes-Benz V8 engine, or Nissan's twin turbo VQ37VHR 3.7L engine. The power from the petrol engine should be around 440 ps, which will be boosted with an additional power of 160 ps from the electric drive system, thus giving a total of 600 ps!
