What is the Lexus LFA?

The Lexus LFA is a two-seat supercar and the flagship of Lexus’s F performance line. Its sculpted body and carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic construction reflect a project focused on low weight and driver involvement. The LFA was a distinctive, limited-production model in the Lexus range, with production running from 2010 to 2012.

Generation and engineering

The LFA had one generation, listed for 2012, with the model code LFA10. It was built around a 4.8-litre V10, with rear-wheel drive and a six-speed automated sequential gearbox. Listed power ranges from 412 kW (560 PS) to 420 kW (571 PS), depending on version. Lexus developed carbon-fibre manufacturing expertise during the LFA project.
