In recent years the 'Green Hell' of the Nurburgring in Germany has also played a significant role in the development of Lexus 'F' vehicles. All Lexus vehicles that wear the F badge are born of a pure passion for driving, dedicated to performance and have a unique Lexus perspective on extreme driver engagement. A Lexus engineer, Yukihiko Yaguchi, initiated the Lexus F project on his days off, following his dream of creating a car with capabilities that were 'the best around'.
