AUTO RED BOOK REVIEW: 2012 LEXUS LF-A NURBURGRING

On The Cover Review: 2012 Lexus LF-A Nurburgring

If you think the $375,000 Lexus LF-A is a major departure from parent company Toyota’s usual business plan, try adding another $75,000 for the Nurburgring package. Add another $20,000 if you want it painted in matte black. As sort of the Japanese answer to Lamborghini, you would expect some pretty serious hardware under the hood, and the LF-A doesn’t disappoint. The 4.8-liter V10 produces 570-hp, and the top speed is reported at 210-mph. Radical front and side spoilers, and an unmistakable rear wing, differentiate the Nurburgring package from other LF-As. Lots of exposed carbon fiber and carbon fiber covered with Alcantara leather surround the LF-A’s occupants. Only 50 LF-A Nurburgrings will be built, so don’t expect to be able to pick one up at the local Lexus dealership anytime soon. But if you are one of the exclusive few who happen to snag one, you’ll no doubt have the only one on the block.

AUTO RED BOOK REVIEW: 2012 DODGE CHARGER SRT-8

On The Cover Review: 2012 Dodge Charger SRT-8

The 2012 Dodge Charger was treated to a new retro-inspired appearance, and the SRT-8 is the Big Kahuna of the lineup. 6.4-liters of Hemi V8 burble out 465-hp, resulting in a blocky, full-sized sedan that can top out at about 175-mph. The crosshair grill that Dodge has been using for the past decade or so is still there in an updated form, while the taillights and side contours are taken from the 1969 design plan. The SRT-8 stands out from lesser Chargers with intricate, 20-inch forged wheels, a more aggressive front fascia, body side skirts, and different rear bumper, exhaust outlets, and spoiler. Inside, fancy suede seats, a flat-bottomed steering wheel, and unique trim materials remind you that this Charger is something special. There is also a 19 speaker Harman/Kardon stereo system available, but who needs that when you have a 465-hp Hemi under the hood?
