Lexus has finally released official photos of their LF-A prototype which will compete in the grueling 24-hour endurance race at Germany’s famous Nürburgring.

Although the company is keeping details a closely guarded secret, they did state that the 200+ mph supercar is powered by a 4.8 liter V10 engine which produces 500 bhp. The sleek carbon fiber LF-A prototype will be entered by Japan’s Gazoo Racing team and will be driven by a variety of professional race car drivers, Toyota engineers, and Lexus dealers.

This year’s 24 hours of Nürburgring is scheduled to run from May 21 to the 24.
