- Lexus built just 500 LFAs and this is chassis number 107
- Power comes from a 4.8-liter naturally-aspirated V10 that Lexus developed alongside Yamaha
- This example has only been driven 268 miles
Few modern supercars are as revered as the Lexus LFA. This most beloved of Japanese supercars wasn’t a huge hit when it first launched but collectors have really started to appreciate it in recent years, meaning used examples are now easily fetching over double the car’s original MSRP. This red LFA is no different.
Lexus only built 500 LFAs during its two-year production run and this is one of the rare few painted in Absolutely Red. A red Lexus may seem a little unusual but the color suits the car to a tee. It also contrasts the 20-inch BBS alloy wheels and yellow brake calipers perfectly. It’s little wonder why bidding has already surpassed the $700,000 mark.
Even though the original MSRP in 2012 was $375,000, this specific example was fitted with $12,500 worth of extras, bringing the grand total, including delivery and the gas guzzler tax, to $393,600 when new.
The Bring a Trailer listing mentions that it was first delivered in Texas and is being sold with a luggage set, a car cover, accessories, spare keys, and a clean Carfax report. It also includes two pieces of carbon fiber luggage and an LFA-branded duffle bag.
The supercar has only been driven 268 miles (431 km). That means the iconic 4.8-liter naturally-aspirated V10 has barely had the chance to breathe. With a service and some fresh fluids, it should be ready to scream for thousands of miles. It needs a new set of shoes too as it still sits on the original Bridgestone Potenza S001 tires from 2011.

It’s not just the exterior of this LFA that is special. The interior features a beautiful combination of Cream leather upholstery with light brown carpets and pillars. A special badge denotes this as LFA number 107. Because the car has rarely been driven, the interior looks immaculate.
With only a day left at the time of publishing this story, the LFA has a high bid of $751,000, which will likely increase before the auction ends. You can check out the listing on BaT for yourself here.
