A pristine 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Package is now for sale through Broad Arrow Private Sales.

It is one of only 64 Ring package cars built, and just 25 were delivered new to the US.

The original window sticker shows a price of $522,000, but this example could sell for around $2 million this year.

Ultra-Rare and Barely Driven

This LFA has covered only 72 miles (116 km) from new.

That's barely enough to warm up the titanium exhaust, let alone enjoy one of the greatest sounding engines ever fitted to a road car.

Lexus built only 500 LFAs, and just 64 received the Nürburgring Package.

Of those, only 25 were sold in America, making this one of the rarest Japanese performance cars ever officially sold in the US.

The Ring Package wasn't just a cosmetic upgrade.

Buyers got a 563 hp (570 PS) version of the 4.8-liter V10 that revved to 9,000 rpm.

Ring cars also featured quicker gearshifts, revised suspension, additional carbon fiber aero parts including a fixed rear wing, and a lighter overall package developed with the Nürburgring in mind.

The result was a 7 minute 14.64 second lap time around the Nürburgring, a production car record that stood for several years.

This particular car is LFA number 488, finished in Whitest White over a white and red interior with graphite BBS forged wheels.
