The Lexus LFA is becoming rarer and rarer. Lexus's V10 monster has become such an extreme collector's item that it's hardly ever driven, which is quite evident given its condition.
You almost have to travel to the Philippines to catch a glimpse of one. This beautiful specimen recently surfaced in Taguig City, and it was the first time it was spotted on Autogespot. The LFA is officially the favorite among Lexus enthusiasts. Its raw V10 power and the design of this beautiful car make it a true dream machine. The car has a heavenly sound.
The development of the Lexus LFA began in the early 2000s. Production of the LFA was limited to just 500 units worldwide, making it an extremely exclusive automobile. The LFA is powered by a 4.8-liter V10 engine that produces 560 horsepower and 480 Newton-meters of torque. This engine can rev up to an impressive 9,000 RPM. The LFA can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in about 3.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of approximately 325 km/h.
The car features a sequential 6-speed gearbox operated via paddle shifters on the steering wheel, enhancing the vehicle's sporty performance. The LFA boasts a monocoque chassis made of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP), contributing to weight reduction and improved rigidity. Numerous components of the LFA are crafted from carbon fiber, including the chassis and body, reducing the vehicle's weight and enhancing its performance. The Lexus LFA was meticulously designed for aerodynamics, featuring a retractable rear spoiler system that provides additional downforce when needed. The Nürburgring version even had a fixed rear spoiler.
The interior of the LFA is driver-centric and showcases luxurious materials and top-notch craftsmanship. The Lexus LFA came with a hefty price tag, costing over $300,000 when new. Due to its rarity and exclusivity, used models can fetch even higher prices today, with values ranging between $1,000,000 and $1,700,000. The sound of the LFA's V10 engine is legendary and is often hailed as one of the greatest sports car sounds of all time.
