Millionaires, Go Bid On The Reddest Lexus LFA You've Ever Seen-July 2024

If you’re a , , or sugar baby, you just happen to have a few million lying around and you love to actually drive the high-end cars you own, I need you to stop what you’re doing and check this Lexus out. It’s probably the reddest — and raddest — Lexus you’ll ever lay eyes on.

Listed on the auction site is this red . The LFA in itself is special. To date, it’s Toyota’s only attempt at making a supercar to compete with the likes of Ferrari and Lamborghini. After nearly a decade in development and four concept cars, the production LFA made its debut in 2009; the public wouldn’t get their hands on one .

Power came from a screaming 4.8-liter 552 horsepower V10. The LFA featured extensive use of carbon fiber — so much so that Toyota reportedly had to develop a way to manufacture it in-house — and an appropriately high price tag.

That high price would ultimately be the LFA’s undoing. Starting at nearly $400,000, it was way more expensive than the car’s closest competitors. After just two years of production, only 500 were ever made.

The example you see here, painted in a vibrant exterior color Lexus called Absolutely Red, is even rarer; just 38 out of the 500 produced were painted this color. This is one of those 38. It’s even more unique in that it’s nearly new, with just 68 miles on the odo, and it has just one option, a $2,500 set of polished wheels and leather seats that nearly match the car’s exterior. The description for the car also mentions that this LFA is number 270 out of the 500.

If you’re interested in buying this, be prepared to have deep pockets. LFA values have climbed steadily since they went out of production just over a decade ago. Mecum is predicting that bidding will start at $850,000-$900,000. It’ll only go up from there.

Whoever gets a chance to bid on this thing and win it, please, for the love of god, actually drive this thing. It’ll hurt to see another road ready supercar turn into a garage queen. Especially one with a V10 that sounds as glorious as the LFA. The LFA will cross the auction block at Mecum’s Kissimmee 2024 auction so stay tuned.

You know and I know that today’s Tercel gives you a stiffy, but does it also come with too stiff a price? The amazing thing about Carroll Shelby was how easily he seemed to roll with the punches. Heart problems stopped his racing career? No problem, he just went and...
