Description
Lot #724 - Known for its 0 to 60 mph time of 3.6 seconds or less, the Lexus LFA is any supercar fan’s dream. This is the LFA Nürburgring Edition in Sunset Orange, a two-seat supercar. It is one of only 50 LFA Nürburgring ever built. It has been on display in the Balise Lexus showroom since July 2012. Only driven by dealership personnel, it has 1,603 actual miles. Development on the original LFA concept began in early 2000s and the final car, equipped with Nürburgring Package, was completed in 2012. This edition is known to have more horsepower and a transmission with faster shifts. The vehicle was hand-assembled and built using a loom that weaves carbon-fiber strands in 3D. The V10 revs from 0 to 9,000 rpm in 0.6 seconds. It was necessary to develop a special tachometer with a digital needle for this car; it was the only way to accurately keep up with the V10 revving from idle at such a high rpm. With the driver sitting so close to the center of the vehicle, they are able to feel and control the vehicle like never before. During testing of the LFA Nürburgring Package, this exact vehicle, with test driver Akira Iida at the wheel, set the lap record for a production car on non-completion tires: 7:14.64. Powered by a 4.8-liter 562hp V10 backed by a 6-speed sequential transmission.
