  • Delivery of the last Lexus LFA shipped to America - image: Lexus

    In December, Lexus built its final LFA, serial number 500, roughly two years after production of the no-expenses-spared supercar began. The final car, a white Nürburgring Edition, was destined for a museum, but the penultimate Lexus LFA assembled, serial number 499, was shipped to a Unites States dealer. Autoweek explains that the steel grey-with-red-leather car was purchased by Roy Mallady as a present for his 68th birthday. It will be sharing a garage with his other Lexus LFA, which just happens to be serial number 003, the very first Lexus LFA imported into America. Packing a...

    Lexus LFA’s Complex Carbon Fiber Production Process To Be Used For Other Models

    As much as we’d like to see a direct successor for the Lexus LFA supercar, Toyota has no plans to build such a car. Despite costing an exorbitant $375,000, the LFA was a money-losing project and Toyota officials aren’t keen to repeat the process, at least for now. “At one time...

  • Lexus LFA 'Unleashed' campaign

    Lexus recently held a competition on its Facebook page where the prize was a chance to test drive an LFA and experience the supercar at the Skip Barber Racing School at Laguna Seca. Oh, and the winner was also to receive some one-on-one time with pro racer and Lexus spokesman Scott Pruett. Well, Lexus has revealed that the lucky winner of its competition was Californian resident Mark Clemons. The automaker has also produced this video giving us a glimpse of Clemons’ day with the LFA at Laguna Seca. The car in the video is the standard LFA, not the extreme Nürburgring Edition that...

    Another Wild Lexus LFA Prototype Spied At The Nürburgring

    At its launch in late 2009 Lexus confirmed its over-the-top supercar, the two-seat, V-10 powered LFA, would be limited to just 500 units in total and that the cars would be painstakingly assembled at the rate of just 20 per month. At that rate, production of the LFA is slated to end this December...

    The Most Lexus LFAs Ever On Track Together At Laguna Seca: Video

    Lexus's LFA may or may not be a stunning success, depending on your point of view, but it is surely a technological marvel in many respects--and purposefully primitive in others. Whatever your views on the car, however, it's wicked fast, crazy expensive, and incredibly exclusive. That's what makes...

  • Lexus LFA and the 2012 Lexus LF-LC Concept

    Can’t decide which Lexus you like better, the LFA supercar or the LF-LC concept car? Well, here’s a video that finally puts the two side by side and even includes some driving action, albeit driving action at crawling speed. One is powered by naturally-aspirated V-10 goodness, while the other sports a hybrid powertrain of undisclosed specification. Both, however, are stunning pieces of machinery that are truly unique. What’s particularly interesting to see is that the LF-LC is considerably larger than the LFA, which further suggests that if a production version is launched...

    Developing a world-class supercar like the Lexus LFA from a clean sheet of paper is no easy task, and turning that supercar (or supercar prototype) into a competitive endurance racer is an order of magnitude more difficult. Taking that race car to compete with long-dominant German automakers, in...

    On August 1, Lexus Unleashes The LFA

    Lexus’ LFA supercar has been on the market for about a year and a half now, and aside from unusual paint and the performance-enhancing Nürburgring package, there isn’t much new to talk about. That’s not a complaint, since there really isn’t much about the V-10 powered...

  • 2012 Lexus LFA in Black Amethyst

    One of the advantages to ordering a $375,000 automobile is the amount of personalization you can request. While Lexus may not offer up the same number of bespoke options that Rolls-Royce does, there’s still an impressive amount of factory customization available to LFA buyers. For exterior paint options alone, the Japanese luxury brand offers 30 different shades, including three variations on white and three variations of black. Inside, there are 12 colors available, which could result in some rather hideous combinations (like a Lime Green exterior, offset by a Bordeaux interior). Among...
