Lexus LFA after an accident: repairs cost a lot of money

It hurts just looking at it! That’s why you want to look away immediately. But as with accidents – it often doesn’t work. Don’t worry: in this case, gawking is allowed as an exception.

In January, after a car rally in Georgia, USA, the car’s owner over-speeded and lost control of his LFA. A video shared on social media shows a large damaged car being lifted onto a truck.

What catches the eye at first glance is the large hole in the carbon fiber passenger door. However, the rear of the car was also hit hard: the taillights and parts of the rear bumper as well as the rear panel on the driver’s side were lost. The damaged parts are mostly carbon fiber parts.

In addition, the wheels are dented, the windows are broken and the LFA’s three-pipe exhaust shows clear signs of an accident.

After all: It seems “only” the outer skin was damaged. The interior and engine appear to be fine.

Crazy: The initial purchase price is 375,000 euros. But the renovation should be worth it given current auction prices in the US, which fluctuate between 800,000 and over a million dollars.
