Production of the Lexus LFAmay have ceased a decade ago, but its stature has only risen in the years since. That’s because Lexus’s racing-derived supercaris a true rarity. It’s not just that only 500 examples were built in the two years it was in production (2010–2012) but because it is a singular model in the Japanese luxury marque’s 33-year histo...
The LFA was first dreamt up by Akio Toyoda, the CEO of Lexus’s parent company, Toyota, during the early aughts. The exec desperately wanted to build a car that would rival the best sports cars coming out of Italy and Germany and put an onus on two things: performance and drivability. Three prototypes were unveiled during the near-decade that the ca...
From the outset, the LFA was designed to be a high-performance beast. Sports and supercars need to look cool, of course, but Kengo Matsumoto and the rest of the team at Lexus Design were more focused on function than style. If an element essential to the vehicle’s aesthetic had to be sacrificed to improve aerodynamic performance, then so be it. It’...
Performance isn’t necessarily the first thing people think of when the name Lexus comes to mind. Luxury is, though. And sure enough, the LFA offers the kind of plush interior for which the marque has come to be known. The cabin features a two-tone colorway, and everything, including the two bucket seats, is covered in luxe materials such as fine le...
Lexus built just 500 examples of the LFA—436 “regular” models and 64 Nurburgring Package variants—between 2010 and 2012, 190 of which were for the US market. The decision to keep the production run so low appears to have been intentional. The company was selective about choosing the LFA’s buyers, opening up pre-orders in 2009, but only deciding who...
December 14 of this year will mark the 10th anniversary of the final LFA—a white Nurburgring Package variant—rolling off the line. In the time since production ceased, the marque gave no indication that it would revive the nameplate, even as the reverence for the supercar has grown. That could change in the near future, though. Earlier this year, L...
The base price of the LFA was about $375,000, but with loads of options that could easily push the price closer to $400,000. The performance-oriented variant with the Nürburgring Package was even more expensive, coming in at $445,000, making it one of the most expensive Japanese road vehicles ever built. Prices—as often happens when a car is rare a...
Packed with racecar technology, the LFA has a high-revving V-10 with 553 horsepower and a lightweight carbon fiber body. As much fun as anything from Maranello, the LFA is arguably more exotic.
