Toyota’s chief test driver died in LFA crash

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. The chief was driving the upcoming Lexus LFA (Nürburgring Edition) at the time of the accident, and reports say he went into oncoming traffic and collided head-on with two other test drivers in a BMW 3-series. The two BMW test drivers survived the crash, though one is in critical condition. Police are investigating the crash and have yet determined its cause.




This proves that German cars are indeed safer, and prehaps Toyota should work a bit more at improving the LFA's safety features.




Moving on to Hiromu Naruse background, he was heavily involved with the development of the Lexus LFA supercar, along with many other sports cars from Toyota’s history since he joined the company in 1963.




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.
