The Lexus LFA was conceived and built as a supercar that would stand the test of time with an unparalleled level of engineering and performance heritage stretching back to the Yamaha-powered 1967 Toyota 2000GT. Exactly 500 limited-production LFAs were built from 2010 to 2012. Lexus retains over 3,500 pages of build documentation for each of its handcrafted supercars at its Motomachi plant in Toyota City for future reference, including a dossier on this 2012 LFA offered with only 465 original miles and ready to launch from 0-60 MPH in 3.6 seconds on the way to a 203 MPH top speed. Each LFA V-10 engine is hand built by select Takumi craftsmen from the Toyota Yamaha F1 program.
The front-mid mounted 4-valve-per-cylinder 4.8L V-10 engine creates 552 HP at 8,700 RPM and 354 lb-ft of torque at 7,800 RPM. The highest-revving production V-10 is linked to a rear-mounted transaxle with 6-speed Automatic Sequential Gearbox and forged magnesium-alloy paddle shifters. Engineers looked to F1 for the 3-exit exhaust that blends primary, secondary and tertiary firing harmonics for supercar sound from idle to its 9,000 RPM redline shriek. Slowing the LFA from speed are 6-piston front and 4-piston rear calipers with carbon-ceramic disc rotors.
The hand-laid carbon-fiber core of the LFA is skinned with Pearl Gray glass-fiber body panels designed to slice through atmosphere and channel air over the rear-mounted radiators. Lexus precision luxury envelops the driver in tan leather, metal controls and premium sound. Yamaha combined engine and musical-instrument expertise into an intake designed to resonate pitch-perfect V-10 sound into the cockpit through integrated surround passages. The LFA carves road or track on BBS forged-aluminum alloy wheels with Potenza ultra-high-performance compound tires developed by Bridgestone exclusively for the Lexus supercar.
