In this world, it will never be fair but sometimes it’s hard for us to ignore the real world.
Based on Daily Mail UK, apparently Paris Hilton received a brand new 2011 Lexus LFA in yellow for her 30th birthday from Hilton’s 29-year-old boyfriend, entrepreneur Cy Waits. Anyway, we deeply anticipate that she will take a good care of this legendary luxury supercar.
Perfectly, hot supercar should be attached with hot babe. Lexus make a step to beautify it further.
For the 2011 Sports Illustrated: Swimsuit Issue, Lexus brings the Dutch supermodel Rianne Ten Haken together with the Lexus LFA supercar. Watch the video to see what happens.
There is a news reported today that Toyota’s chief test driver, 67-year-old Hiromu Naruse, has died in a crash on highway 410 near the Toyota’s workshops at N¼rburgring race track in Germany. The chief was driving the upcoming Lexus LFA N¼rburgring Edition at the time of the accident, and reports say he goes around into oncoming traffic and collided head-on with two others test drivers in a BMW 3-series. The two BMW test drivers survived the crash, though one is reportedly still in critical condition. Police are investigating the crash and have yet to determine its cause.
This prototype of a special edition version of the LFA that he was driving when the accident occurred was reportedly worth 1.5 million euro.Which equals to about 6 Million Ringgit Malaysia.
Moving backward on Hiromu Naruse background, he was heavily involved with the development of the Lexus LFA supercar, along with many other past sports cars from Toyota’s history since he joined the company in 1963.
Motoring Enthusiasts today call him the “Godfather of the LFA” though he was involved in the development of sports cars for Toyota. From all you can name it, 1965 Sports 800, 1600GT, 2000GT, all generation of the Celica, AE86, the 1st and 3rd generation MR2s, Supra, Altezza, 2nd generation Prius to the latest Lexus LFA. Naruse-san was responsible for all of them, and now he’s gone.
On behalf of Team FastMotoring, we express our condolence to Naruse-san and Rest in Peace.
