Lexus LFA: this red model offers auctions (+video)

The Lexus LFA has achieved legendary status. Few modern cars are as revered as this Japanese supercar. It is actually the most popular car in Asia. And yet, it was not a huge success when it was launched. But collectors have started to appreciate it in recent years. This means that used models now cost easily more than double the original car price. This red LFA testifies to this.

In fact, Lexus only built 500 LFAs in its two years of production. And this is one of the rare red painted examples being talked about today. A red Lexus may seem unusual. But we have to admit that the color suits the car perfectly. This color also contrasts perfectly with 20-inch BBS alloy wheels and yellow brake calipers. Therefore, it is not surprising that the bid has already exceeded the $ 700,000 mark.

Lexus LFA more expensive than before?

Although the 2012 Lexus’ starting asking price was $375,000 in the US, this particular model had a few options. Total value of supplements: $12,500. This brings the total to $393,600 when adding in some taxes at the time. An ad on the popular Leta Trailer website mentions that this LFA was delivered for the first time in Texas. We also know that it is being sold with a set of luggage, a cover, accessories, a second set of keys and a blank Carfax report. The sale also includes two carbon fiber luggage and an “LFA” duffel bag.

The supercar has only 431 km. This meant that the naturally aspirated 4.8 liter V10 had no room to breathe. With maintenance and new fluids, this Lexus should therefore be able to travel thousands of kilometers. It also needs a new set of tires. And for good reason, it is always the original tires that are installed. Bridgestone Potenza S001s from 2011.

An auction that will return the picture?

It’s not just the outside of this LFA that’s special. The interior has a nice combination of cream-colored upholstery and brown carpets and pillars. A special badge indicates that this is LFA number 107. Since the car has barely been driven, the interior looks like new! With only a few hours left to bid, The Lexus LFA already has a hefty price tag. The bid is $753,000. Who says better? If you live in the US, or are willing to pay shipping fees, you can bid yourself here. Still, the price will definitely go up. And this may suit Lexus as the last models that were replaced on the second-hand market have had difficulty finding buyers… In any case, it is always better to see them like this in the garage.
