Interest in the Lexus LFA has only increased as time has gone on, and now, well-kept examples are becoming more and more valuable. That’s why a fascinating, unique example, such as this one, might be a golden opportunity for collectors.
To begin with, it has just 7,400 miles (11,909 km) on the odometer, making it minty fresh, indeed. When it went in for its most recent maintenance call, in May, it needed just an oil change and one new spark plug, to replace one with a cracked insulator.
Just the latest in a long line of regular maintenance visits the car has done, it was always kept in tip-top shape by its original owner, a dealer principal who bought it from Woodfield Lexus of Schaumburg, Illinois and took it to Texas.

There, it was displayed on the showroom floor and driven sparingly before being bought in 2018 by its current owner, this time a former dealer principal, who moved it to Ohio. In the years since then, the second owner has put just 400 miles (644 km) on the car.
Just the 75th of 436 LFAs (not counting special edition models) ever to leave the Lexus factory, it is one of only 22 that were sold in America finished in Absolutely Red paint. Uniquely, that paint is matched by the car’s front seats that are trimmed in red leather, and contrasted by black leather on the door cards, the instrument panel, the center console, the steering wheel, and the dash. The cabin headliner, meanwhile, is finished in black Alcantara.
As with all standard LFAs, this example is powered by a 553 hp (412 kW/561 PS) 4.0-liter V10 engine that can rev all the way up to 9,000 rpm. Made out of aluminum, magnesium, and titanium, the engine is smaller than a V8 and lighter than a V6.
This example was also equipped with the speed-sensing rear wing and presents exceedingly well thanks to its pampered life, reports RM Sotheby‘s, the auction house that is handling the sale. They estimate that this beautiful example of the car will sell for between $700,000 and $800,000.
