Lexus LF-A Goes to Australia

Lexus LF-A, the limited edition Japanese supercar, comes to Australia. Unfortunately, only 5 of the 500 cars will hit Australian land, though Lexus has applied for 10 cars.

“The fact that Australia has been allocated any LF-A vehicles is testament to the importance of the Australian arm of the global Lexus brand,” said Lexus Australia chief executive John Roca.

“LF-A is as much an engineering exercise as it is a clear demonstration of the passion that lies within Lexus. It will become the template from which future Lexus vehicles will be developed and measured. Our next challenge is managing the allocation process - we are already certain that we will not have enough LF-As to fulfil demand,” he said.

It seems that around 20 rich Lexus customers from Australia are interested in owning an LF-A so apparently the fight to get one will become interesting, especially since the car costs Au$750,000. Getting behind the wheel of your own LF-A in Australia is even more difficult as Lexus officially stated that if less than half a dozen supercars are confirmed, all of them are likely to remain, at least initially, within the Japanese luxury brand’s Australian dealer network for promotional purposes.

“LF-A development was unlike any Lexus before it,”
said LF-A chief engineer Haruhiko Tanahashi. “We tested it in the harshest driving environments - from the high-speed Nardo facility to the gruelling Nurburgring racetrack. LF-A is a rolling showcase of Lexus’ advanced engineering capabilities. The result is a thoroughbred, a machine engineered to achieve one single goal - to deliver a supreme driving experience.”
