Lexus FLA Crash in Germany
Toyota’s legendary test driver, Hiromu Naruse, died this week after crashing a Lexus LFA prototype outside the Nuerburgring racetrack in Germany.
Naruse was driving the LFA when the vehicle veered into a BMW that was also being driven by test drivers.
Employed by Toyota since 1963, Naruse has served as a personal driver for Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda and is considered the “God Father” of the FLA supercar. Rockville Lexus dealers were sadden by the news as Naruse was a living legend, having played a vital role in the development of the FLA and many other Toyota products over the years.
