作为丰田重整声威的重要车型，雷克萨斯LFA刚登场就以惊人的规格和身价向超跑领域发起挑战。所谓超跑，指的是在纽伯格林北环赛道单圈时间进入8分钟。雷克萨斯LFA当然也不能逃脱上帝之环（The Ring）的试炼，只是丰田没想到专为试炼准备...

翻了一下英语新闻，这么说的，还有录像。

According to reports, Toyota's chief test driver, 67-year-old Hiromu Naruse, has died in a crash on highway 410 near the famed Nürburgring race track in Germany. He was driving the recently spied Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition (above) at the time of the accident, and reports say he veered into oncoming traffic and collided head-on with two others test drivers in a BMW. The two BMW test drivers survived the crash, though one is reportedly still in critical condition. German video of the crash scene after the accident took place can be viewed below. Police are investigating the crash and have yet to determine its cause.

Naruse was heavily involved with the development of the Lexus LFA supercar he was driving, along with many other past sports cars from Toyota's history since he joined the company in 1963. Enthusiasts today call him the "Godfather of the LFA," though he was involved in the development of sports cars for Toyota going as far back as the storied 2000GT from the late 1960s. The prototype of a special edition version of the LFA that he was driving when the accident occurred was reportedly worth 1.5 million euro.
