Nürburgring

Chronograph and 24-Hour Wristwatch from Nordschleife

When the time can be obtained from every cell phone or microwave, what exactly is the point of wearing a wristwatch these days? For some, it comes down to status symbol. Bragging rights. And as we've covered regularly on these pages, that's often tied in to the world of cars and racing.

There, the ultimate bragging rights come down to how fast a car can lap the vaunted Nürburgring Nordschleife in Germany. And to time it come two new timepieces from the Norschleife collection.

The Norschleife Chronograph (above at right) packs all the usual timing functions into a 43-millimeter case with mineral crystal, black dial and leather strap, while the innovative Nordschleife 24-Hour Wristwatch (above at left) displays the time across a full-day spectrum, the better for timing 24-hour endurance races. The German-made quartz timepieces retail for a reasonable 129 and 85 euros respectively.

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos

A few months ago we brought you initial reports of an even more hardcore, performance oriented version of the LFA supercar. Now Lexus has confirmed the package with official details, availability and pricing information.

Called the Nürburgring Package, named after the famous German race track where the LFA race car cut its teeth, the extra-special supercar benefits from a 10-horsepower boost, quicker transmission shift times and a revised aerodynamics package.

Only 50 examples will be offered at a $70,000 premium over the standard LFA's $375,000 list price. But at such limited quantities, good luck getting your hands on one.
