You have $400,000 laying somwhere? Then get a Lexus LFA – official prices announced

Owning a supercar was always a costly experience. So if you were interested in the official US price tag for this car, we now have it! The Lexus LFA price is set around $375,000 without including shipping, handling and additional costs that may get this cars price up to $400,000 that way. That’s just the manufacturer’s suggested retail price here, which will probably get higher when getting to check the boxes on the options list. But, we don’t think that this will matter to the 552 horsepower supercoupe’s clientele in any case.

When you start ticking the boxes in the options list, the first one is the base option, or how do they call it at Lexus the “configuration one”. It will get you either leather or alcantara interrior, which ever suits your rear ends better. The second option is the “configuration two” which will, for some extra money, bring you navigation and the quality Mark Levinson surround-sound system, so you can listen to your favorite music, while driving along in your supercar. Getting all out on the options list will get you the “configuration three” with all the above mentioned here, while setting your car with Lexus Enform system with Safety Connect features.

The Lexus LFA gets into production this December, while the first deliveries in the US will be available in the January next year. But, even if you have $400,000 itching in your pocket, waiting to be spent, you may be in for a surprise. It won’t be that easy getting the Lexus LFA in the way of throwing $400,000 and buying it, it’s a little more complicated. Lexus is only making the LFA available on a two-year lease with a company wanting to purchase this car.

Full Lexus Press Release

The Lexus LFA is exclusively powered by a sophisticated new high-revving 4.8-liter V10 engine that generates 552 horsepower at 8,700 rpm and 354 lb.-ft. of peak torque at 6,800 rpm. The engine is mated to a unique six-speed Automated Sequential Gearbox (ASG) with paddle shifters that enables ultra-quick gear shifts (0.2 seconds) with four driving modes – AUTO, SPORT, NORMAL and WET for exceptional versatility.

Lexus’ supercar accelerates from 0 to 60 in 3.6 seconds and achieves a maximum speed of 202 mph thanks to an independently controlled throttle body for each cylinder, high-volume 12-hole injectors, dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i), low-friction engine components, and equal length exhaust manifolds.

Lightweight, powerful and balanced, the LFA features advanced Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) construction for its chassis and bodywork to deliver a light, incredibly strong and impact-resistant structure. To help provide superior handling and braking and traction control the LFA features track-tuned lightweight aluminum alloy suspension components; six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers to grip the Carbon Ceramic Material (CCM) brake rotors; and a specially calibrated Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) system.

The low-slung LFA exudes supercar styling with Lexus design philosophy in one cohesive form. Its clean, muscular and athletic design is complemented by extraordinary aerodynamics for optimal drivetrain cooling and superb high-speed handling. Its incredible exhaust note is possible by the multi-stage exhaust system that exits through a stacked trio of exhaust outlets. The LFA’s exterior styling is further enhanced with BBS® 20-inch forged-aluminum 10-spoke wheels available in three different finishes.

“After years of development, Lexus is able to offer driving enthusiasts an exciting and exclusive combination of performance and luxury in a sleek supercar package. It’s thrilling to know that in about a year, you just might see one driving down the street,” said Templin.
