The Japanese supercar is number 235 of only 500 examples built 👀
name. The Japanese brand wanted to build a car that could stand toe to toe with the best Europe had to offer. Development of the car began in the early aughts and by the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show, it was ready. With a gorgeous body designed by Kengo Matsumoto and a racing-derived powerplant built with the help of Yamaha, the LFA was that and more.
Unfortunately, it would take the rest of the world time to catch on, by which point production of the vehicle, which ran from 2010 to 2012, had ceased. During that time, only 500 cars were built, and only 190 of those made it to the US.The carbon-fiber body of this example, which is no. 235 according to a plaque on the rear bulkhead, is finished in a stunning coat of Starfire Pear.
The LFA isn’t just one of the best looking Lexuses of all time, it’s also its most capable car—by a long shot. The two-door is powered by a naturally aspirated 4.8-liter V-10 that generates 552 hp and 354 ft lbs of torque. All of that power is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed single-clutch automated manual transmission and a Torsen limited-slip differential. That’s right, it’s a stick shift.
With so little wear and tear on the mill, you should have little problem pushing the car to its max too. In the LFA’s case, that means being able to sprint from zero to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds and reach a top speed of 203 mph.This gorgeous white LFA will be up for auction until next Wednesday, April 13. Bidding is already up to $655,000 as of press time, but considering the car’s condition and rarity, we wouldn’t be surprised to see it sell for much more than that.
