Lexus LFA: Own A Japanese Supercar Masterpiece

When it comes to supercar excellence, the LFA is lightning in a bottle. Decades ago, Lexus sent shockwaves through the luxury automotive world, being an incredibly strong new contender that would go up against long-standing titans like Mercedes-Benz and BMW, and it didn’t only survive, but it thrived. However, that was far from all Lexus would do, and in 2009, it would introduce the LFA, a supercar that to this day, remains one of the greatest moments in recent automotive history. It’s powered by a 4.8-liter V10 engine that was co-developed by Toyota and Yamaha just for the LFA, each signed by its craftsman, and as the automotive industry continues to change and evolve, even the V10 engine itself is a reason that the Lexus LFA stands out as a gem. However, that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to why the LFA is so special. The exhaust was also developed in collaboration with Yamaha, with the goal of giving the car an incredible exhaust note, one that today still stands as one of the greatest of all time. Stunning design, luxurious craftsmanship, and exclusivity make it a collector-grade masterpiece. If you’re looking for a supercar that captures one of the greatest moments in recent automotive history, the Lexus LFA is the perfect machine to add to any luxury or exotic car collection. However, with only 500 made, it’s not the easiest supercar for sale to find. That’s why duPont REGISTRY, the source for supercars since 1985, is the best place to look for a Lexus LFA for sale.

This rare engineering masterpiece could be yours. The Lexus LFA was a groundbreaking supercar. Relatively new to the luxury automotive space, Lexus introduced itself in the early 1990s by sending shockwaves with engineering excellence and luxurious elegance. However, it wasn’t until the late 2000s that Lexus fully flexed its performance muscles with the introduction of its flagship performance car: the LFA. Unlike anything Lexus had ever done before, the LFA held a naturally aspirated V10 engine under the hood. With 553 horsepower, and an engine note that remains one of the most celebrated in the world courtesy of development with Yamaha, it remains one of the most revered supercars ever made. Only 500 Lexus LFAs were made, and coming on the scene as collector-grade masterpieces, the allure for cars like these, especially in a time when the automotive industry is changing so rapidly, has only grown. It is very difficult to find a Lexus LFA for sale, and duPont REGISTRY is the place to look, having been the source for supercars since 1985.

Lexus LFA Nurburgring 21

2012 Lexus LFA Nurburgring For Sale

Sakichi Toyoda was born in 1867 to a poor family. Japan was in upheaval as the Shoguns slowly acquiesced to the new Emperor. Looking for a way to provide for his family, he used carpentry skills to build complex looms. Patenting Japan's first hand-loom in 1891, he was only 24 years old. Weaving delicate tapestries for wealthy patrons, his machines became popular around the empire. Sakichi Toyoda Fast-forward 140 years and his Great-Grandson accomplished the same task. Needing a stronger material for his supercar, Akio Toyoda and his team at Lexus invented the circular carbon fiber loom. Sure, you could build a car out of normal carbon fiber, but what if the final shape could be woven into the material? " width="680"> After patenting and building a 3D carbon fiber loom, it allowed the Lexus LFA Nurburgring to have a chassis that is still orders of magnitude stronger than any current production car. Armed with a capable monocoque, Yamaha was brought on board to build an engine unlike any other. Because every Yamaha product is tuned like a musical instrument, the 4.8L V10 can scream from idle to 9,000 rpm in 0.6 seconds. Titanium internals and a 72-degree firing order produce the smoothest V10 of all time, with Toyota engineers calling it the "roar of an angel" Each cylinder has its own throttle body, fed by a variable-length manifold. At the flywheel, the carbon fiber torque tube is geared to spin faster than engine rpm. Not only does it act as energy storage, it removes any harmonics associated with all rear-mounted transmissions. A six-speed single-clutch sequential is the only transmission offered. Lexus LFA Price, Specs, Photos & Review After racing around the world, they decided to build the final 50 cars to be capable of attacking the Green Hell. The Nurburgring Edition cars offered 563 horsepower at 8,100 rpm, and 354 lb-ft of torque at 7,000 rpm. A massive carbon spoiler replaced the active rear wing. The transmission was recalibrated to shift 0.05s faster, and dive planes were added to the front end. " width="680"> With Akira Lida at the wheel, a 2011 prototype ran a blistering 7:14.64 on stock Bridgestone Potenza rubber. It was 10 seconds faster than the Porsche 911 GT2 RS, being clocked at 185 going uphill. Over a decade of design and development led to Lexus offering one of the fastest production cars of all time. No turbos, no hybrid assist, just innovation and attention to the smallest detail. Nothing like this will happen again in our lifetimes, so don't miss this opportunity. Our friends at Pagani Beverly Hills are offering this one with delivery miles only. It is the first Nurburgring Edition to be priced under $1 Million, so call them before I do!

Lexus LFA: Why to Buy

Sakichi Toyoda is honored in Japan as the "King of Inventors" He invented the world's first automatic loom, enabling Japan's textile industry to take on the world. He patented it in 1926 at only 93 years old. History repeats itself in amazing ways, and his great-grandson would unveil the world's most complex automatic loom in 2011. Not for textiles, this loom had one purpose: building the ultimate carbon fiber supercar. The Lexus LFA was and is a statement of Toyota's engineering dominance. Akio's vision was to shake up the world's most exotic automakers with a car unlike any other. After the body was woven as one-piece, it was vacuum bagged and fired in an autoclave. After a decade of trial and error, what emerged was a light & aerodynamic monster. The window sticker had an MSRP of $375,000, so they decided to give it a Lexus badge as their premier brand. LFA Driveline Browse Lexus LFA For Sale Because the weave of the carbon fiber gives it such strength, the Lexus LFA does without the traditional aluminum subframes used by McLaren and Lamborghini. It has been compared to the strength of the Brooklyn Bridge, which could support itself even without the support cables. A car this strong does not need stiff suspension, so it is a pleasure to drive. " width="680"> When you ask the average enthusiast what "tuned" is, they probably guess fuel and ignition timing. While this is critical in any car, Akio pushed his engineers to tune every component. Turning to their family friends at Yamaha, he set goals for the resonant frequency of every part. From the coolant surge tank to the door handle springs, every possible vibration will happen at speed only rockets can travel. That translates to the car feeling more solid than anything you have experienced. If you could drive a Stradivarius, this is it. Rejecting the notion that small engines and big turbos are the future, many of us figured it would be a naturally aspirated V8. The world was shocked to find a perfectly balanced V10. The cylinder heads are separated by 72 degrees (720-degree firing order divided by 10 cylinders). This makes it the smoothest V10 ever offered in a production car. Thanks again to Yamaha, every moving part has an incredible harmonic balance. This allows the 4.8L engine to reach 9,000 rpm in 0.6 seconds. This is faster than the tachometer can respond. All those harmonic parts add up, and the LFA can shatter even the finest crystal wine glasses with its exhaust roar. After having seat time in several examples, the car is a kitten while cruising around. Aside from looking like a work of art, it is tame when shifted early. Pull back on the paddle and invoke the beast. The engine erupts with a rage that would scare Formula 1 drivers. It sends 553 horsepower and 354 lb-ft to a carbon fiber driveshaft. Matching Luggage Was Optional You might be quick to dismiss those numbers. Sure they build prototypes with more power, but the LFA doesn't need more. Because even the smallest parts work in unison, you will have more acceleration and grip than your Italian friends. This project cost so much, Toyota lost money on each car sold. The only way to experience this masterpiece is to drive one, so click the link below to find one near you. Browse Lexus LFA For Sale " width="680"> Featured Image Source: RM Sotheby's

2012 Lexus LFA Nurburgring For Sale

When he joined his grandfather's company, Akio Toyoda had a vision. Growing up with an interest in motorsports, his desire was to build a Toyota Supercar. Racing is in his blood, and he has driven under the name Morizo Kinoshita to fool the press. Rising through the ranks, he pushed back at bean counters and engineers to bring together a new team. Their goal was to build a supercar unlike anything ever seen in Japan.Wanting more power than a V8 without the weight of a V12, Yamaha was asked to develop a perfect V10. Placing the heads at an angle of 72 degrees allowed for even firing and the exhaust note of an F1 car. His Great-Grandfather invented the Toyoda Automatic Loomworks. So taking a page from his ancestors, they invented a new loom for carbon fiber. Each part of the LFA is stronger and lighter than any automotive composite before, and the bodies were fired as one-piece in one of the largest autoclaves in the Eastern hemisphere.For perfect weight distribution, the single-plate automated clutch is mounted to the engine, and it spins a carbon fiber torque tube connected to the six-speed automatic. No detail was overlooked, as even the washer fluid reservoir was placed just behind the cockpit. Next to the fuel tank, it keeps the fluids at the center of rotation, which makes for ultimate grip in the corners.Because the car took over a decade to engineer, each car cost over $500,000 to build. The company decided to take a loss to price it among the other V10 supercars. When it came to the ultimate endurance race, the Nürburgring Edition arrived ready to race. Only 50 examples were built, with a sticker price of $445,000 each. One of the fastest production cars to lap the 'Ring, it lapped the Nordschleife in only 7:14.64.Without turbos, a supercharger, or hybrid technology, it offers 563 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque. Given the curb weight of 3,327 lbs, it has a power-to-weight ratio better than many current exotic cars. Fort Lauderdale Collection has a pristine example that could be yours.  Click the link below for all the details and stay with us for rare & exotic cars for sale.View Listing

2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring With Only 40 Miles at Canada's...

The Lexus LFA Nürburgring is, without a doubt, one of the rarest supercars to date. With just 50 built for the global market, they bring new meaning to the word 'exclusive,' and having the last new Nürburgring LFA in the world is not just rare - it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity.This particular LFA holds chassis #367 and is finished in Race Yellow over a Carbon and Black Alcantara interior with yellow stitching.  The LFA is a representation of the perfectly engineered sports car, and even Jeremy Clarkson has repeatedly stated it is one of the best cars he has ever driven.  Quite an endorsement from a man who has driven practically every supercar for sale on the market.Lexus LFA For SaleOpenRoad Lexus was lucky enough to find the last new untitled LFA Nürburgring from their friends at Servco Lexus Hawaii.  They kept this vehicle new and untouched, wrapped in protective plastic since it had been received.It arrived with just 30 documented miles on it from the factory and a further 10 miles were put on the vehicle moving it to and from exotic car shows over the past three years.  It was delivered to OpenRoad on its numbered LFA cradle just as it left the LFA works, and should a buyer be international, it will be delivered it to them as such.The vehicle was titled when it was imported to Canada, but its warranty did not go into effect until Aug. 3, 2015. This means that a comprehensive warranty is in effect until Aug. 3, 2019 or 80,000 km (approx. 50,000 miles) and the powertrain warranty lasts until Aug. 3, 2021 or 100,000 km (approx. 60,000 miles).Of course, the real draw sits under the hood. A 4.8-liter V10 creates 563 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque, bringing its next owner the same power that brought the LFA race vehicles to 181 mph during the 24 Hours Nürburgring race. It's 1 of just 50 LFAs to feature this package, 1 of 15 to feature this color and 1 of 2 in Canada.
