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.

2019 Toyota Supra: The King Is Back And Good Enough To Hunt Porsches
It’s been a long time coming. It has been 25 years since the launch of the last , way back in 1993. The internet was barely out of diapers back then, and all you really needed in life was a manual gearbox, a turbocharged 2JZ engine, a gigantic hoop spoiler...

God Can Always Track You Down and Kill You, but in a 300 Horsepower Toyota Camry You Get a Pretty Good Running Start
I spent a week in a nearly $40,000 with a red leather interior and 301 horsepower. It is one of the best cars on sale today. I’d call it an instant classic but for two minor flaws. ( Toyota wanted me to drive the new Camry so bad that they...

Towing With a $100,000 Range Rover Diesel Is the Best Way to Throw Money at a Problem
People make mistakes. Sometimes it’s as small as forgetting to pay a parking ticket, and sometimes it’s spending a lot of money on a rally car that ends up parked, becoming a huge pain in the ass. What isn’t a mistake is Land Rover offering the to Americans, which is...

What an Electric London Taxi Is Like to Drive
Providing passage for the tired, tipsy, and busy, the Black Cab is as much a part of foggy London’s furniture as the red phone boxes no one uses. Thing is, the cabs you’re used to seeing aren’t very efficient, comfortable, or spacious. So the LEVC (London Electric Vehicle Company) TX...

At $6,000, Could This Shabby Chic 1991 Lotus Elan Get Some of Your British Racing Green?
While it may share its name with a venerated and desirable ancestor, today’s Elan shares little else. Let’s see if this bedraggled edition is priced commensurate with its station and condition. While it didn’t fair as badly as did Monday’s Taurus SHO, yesterday’s still couldn’t get a pass at its...

At $16,995, Could This 1976 Chevy Silverado 4X4 Shortbed Be a Truck You Might Long For?
Today’s C/K might be old, but its kit and condition mean it’s still got it going on. Let’s see if its price will also make it worth going out and getting. Ford’s Taurus has been described as the car that saved Ford. Hell, there’s even by that title. That may...
