'''LX6''', much like the [[LX4]], sports a more powerful engine, although this weighs it down more, you'd never realise given the way it accelerates.

Take the [[LX4]], swap the engine for a 1.8 litre inline 6, and you have the LX6. So what's the big deal? It's a touch heavier, has a slightly more balanced weight distribution (due to the heavier lump up front) and, most importantly, more power. It's trickier to drive, so if you've not driven an LX style car before the [[LX4]] is a better starting point. Since the LX8 has been canned by the [[UF GTR]] upon the release of S2, this is the fastest LX style car available in LFS at the moment.

== History ==

LX6 was released on July 17, 2003 as a part of the initial [[:Category:S1 contents|S1]] release. This is what the LFS developers wrote about LX6 in the original announcement:

{{quote|Being a lightweight car with a powerful engine, the LX6 has great acceleration and quick steering, resulting in having superior laptimes compared with all the other cars available. We must point out that although we originally said that a more powerful rwd car would be included, at that time we weren't exactly sure which kind of car it would be. When we had decided on the LX6, we changed that text to "a quicker rwd car", because in fact the LX6 has less absolute power than the turbo car, but is faster in all situations on the the track. It's really fun to drive, and takes some concentration to handle! :)|LFS Team}}

== Setup tip ==
These cars need a fair amount of understeer in the springs to keep them controllable. Don't go silly with the spring rates though. Low tyre pressures are needed. Keep the diff as open as possible on the power side and reasonable well locked on the coast side. Some rear toe comes in very handy here.
