Developed by Lexus, the luxury division of Toyota, this supercar embodies precision and refinement, a result of nearly 10 years of development. Offered for sale by DK Engineering on the LuxuryPulse marketplace, this 2012 LFA has only driven 1,350 km, making it a rare and coveted opportunity for any supercar enthusiast.

Available for sale at DK Engineering, based at Little Green Street Farm, Chorleywood, in the United Kingdom, this LFA is a mechanical masterpiece ready to join a discerning collector’s collection.

AN AMBITIOUS PROJECTPROJECT BEHIND THE LEXUS LFA

The LFA is not just a supercar, it is a technological showcase for Lexus. As early as 2004, camouflaged prototypes were spotted on the famous Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit, where Lexus was already testing this car’s exceptional performance. Initially built on an aluminum platform, advances in composite materials led to the decision to design the LFA using carbon fiber, making it lighter and more rigid. Lexus did not hesitate to start from scratch to achieve perfection, despite the astronomical development costs exceeding 90 billion yen (700 million dollars).

The LFA development was marked by obsessive attention to detail. In 2011, the Nürburgring Edition set a production car record with a lap time of 7:14.64 on the Nürburgring. The LFA also found success in racing, winning class victories in the 24 Hours of Nürburgring in 2010, 2012, and 2014.

UNCOMPROMISING DESIGN

Under the hood of the Lexus LFA lies a 4.8-liter V10 engine, co-developed with Yamaha, producing 560 horsepower at 8,700 rpm. This engine, made from lightweight materials such as titanium and aluminum, delivers breathtaking performance. It enables the car to go from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds, with a top speed of 325-326 km/h. The V10 engine can rev up to 9,500 rpm, with responsiveness allowing it to go from 1,000 rpm to 9,500 rpm in just 0.6 seconds.

This LFA is equipped with a 6-speed automated manual transmission, offering gear shifts in 200 milliseconds (reduced to 150 milliseconds in sport mode). Thanks to its active rear spoiler, which deploys at speeds above 80 km/h, the car offers exceptional aerodynamic stability, enhancing its dynamic qualities on both road and track.

LEXUS LFA TECHNICALTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

The Lexus LFA is built on a carbon fiber chassis, contributing to its relatively lightweight of 1,480 kg, while increasing structural rigidity. The carbon-ceramic brakes ensure optimal stopping power, even at high speeds. Its dimensions further emphasize its impressive presence: a length of 4,505 mm, a width of 1,895 mm, and a height of 1,220 mm, with near-perfect weight distribution: 49.8% front and 50.2% rear. The drag coefficient (Cx) of 0.31 and 237 kg of aerodynamic downforce at top speed ensure impeccable handling, even at speeds exceeding 320 km/h.

TRACK PERFORMANCE

The LFA has proven its abilities by setting records on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. In 2011, the LFA Nürburgring Edition posted a lap time of 7 minutes 14.64 seconds, establishing a new record for production cars. The LFA also excelled in competition at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring, winning its category multiple times.
