2011 Lexus LFA

HI-RES GALLERY: 2011 Lexus LFA

Lexus confirmed this week that its new 2011 LFA supercar will be offered to customers in North America through a lease program, whereby they will be able to purchase the vehicle only after two years.

The new V-10 powered GT is set to go on sale in January 11 but potential customers better be quick as there are only 150 cars heading our way. Canadian customers have it even worse as only 10 LFA supercars will be available up north.

Lexus began accepting "purchase applications" in October and production is scheduled to start next month at the rate of 20 cars per month over the next 25 months. Total production will be limited to just 500 cars for worldwide sale.

Of the 500 units, each one will be unique. Customers will even be able to specify what type of stitching they want their cars to have and importantly, no car will be built until an order is completed.

Official pricing for the LFA has been set at $375,000 but with the leasing, monthly fees could cost up to $10,000 per month, including interest, taxes and insurance.

    Costing $375,000 Lexus LFA is certainly an exciting one to buy. Most cars for 2010 are integrated with V8 engines where are this with V10 will surely have upper hand / advantage on other car makers.

    your an idiot, this car has no competitor. Only car collectors and deep pocketed individuals will obviously buy it. No one will be comparing it to any other car.

    This car in this price bracket makes no sense to me. Why not price it at $60,000 to $85,000 badge it as a Toyota, make several thousand of them and go head to head with Nissan?
    At $300 plus K your only selling to the "look at me crowd" and frankly I'd rather be seen in something from Italy for that kind of money than Japan.. Is it just me?

    Sounds like a Supra your describing MWOW. I think the economy changed Lexus' initial volume projections. So they made it rare enough to price above everything else.

    The LF-A really looks like it means business but it reminds me of the Toyota Supra and I think they may have taken some styling inspiration from that. If Lexus has this then I think Toyota should have a Supra replacement :) I'd love to get my hands on a new Supra! I remember my first Supra, I loved everything about that car. It's a write off now, I was T-boned on a green light about half a year ago :)

    this is outrageous! For the price that they are selling the LF for you can purchase a lambo. Its unique and not part of the Lexus family. However, Lexus is not a bad car but when you spend that type f money you want to get something exotic. A Lexus is far from exotic. With the horrible economy no normal American person will be able to lease this car. So basically this car is for actors, athletes, millionaires billionaires etc.
