Let's dive into the captivating world of automotive excellence with the 2012 Lexus LFA, a true gem among sports cars. This remarkable vehicle stands as a testament to precision engineering and unparalleled performance, crafted during a limited two-year production run. Out of the 500 LFAs ever produced, only 64 were bestowed with the prestigious Nürburgring package, elevating this car to elite status within the automotive realm.
From its birthplace in Balise Lexus of West Springfield, Massachusetts, to its journeys through Florida and California, this LFA has garnered experiences and stories that now await its next chapter with you. This particular LFA is not just a car; it's a piece of automotive history. It's one of approximately 25 units tailored specifically for the US market, adding to its exclusivity and allure.
Underneath the striking exterior lies a powerhouse—a 4.8-liter V10 engine developed in collaboration with Yamaha. This engineering marvel boasts titanium components, individual throttle bodies, and dual VVT-i variable valve timing, delivering a staggering 562 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a six-speed Automated Sequential Gearbox that underwent revisions for the Nürburgring Package, this LFA offers lightning-fast shifts and precise control, making every drive a symphony of performance.
This particular model stands tall as one of only seven U.S. Nürburgring Package cars, distinguished by its orange (9K5) finish that exudes unparalleled energy and style. As you explore this masterpiece, you'll notice its distinctive features, including triple central exhaust outlets that hint at its powerful performance, side air intakes designed for optimal aerodynamics, a vented hood for enhanced cooling, F Fender badges that symbolize its racing pedigree, and bi-xenon HID headlights with optional washers, ensuring clear visibility even in the most thrilling of driving conditions.
Speaking of the Nürburgring Package, let's delve deeper into its significance. Priced at $70k, this upgrade package not only enhances the car's performance but also elevates its aerodynamic prowess. With carbon-fiber aero enhancements, including a front spoiler, canards, and a fixed rear wing, along with a revised suspension and lightweight alloy wheels, the Nürburgring edition is a track-ready masterpiece that excites enthusiasts and collectors alike.
Inside the cockpit, luxury meets technology seamlessly. The 10-way power-adjustable heated seats, trimmed in exquisite black Alcantara, provide comfort and support during spirited drives. Carbon-fiber accents adorn the interior, showcasing the car's meticulous attention to detail. The Mark Levinson audio system, navigation, and backup camera ensure that every journey is not just thrilling but also convenient and entertaining.
Records show that this LFA was originally delivered to Balise Lexus of West Springfield, Massachusetts in July of 2012. It spent 6 years in Lexus’ possession, until it was sold to its first owner, a resident of Florida, in 2018. The car spent 2 years in the sunny state of Florida, eventually being sold to the second owner out in Montana in March of 2019. For the next 3 years, the vehicle remained in Montana. Eventually, the car found its way to the golden state of California in March of 2022.
So, if you're ready to own a piece of automotive history and experience the thrill of driving a meticulously crafted masterpiece, look no further than this 2012 Lexus LFA #349. It's more than just a car; it's a legacy waiting to be embraced. Don't just settle for the ordinary; embrace the extraordinary with every mile you conquer in this iconic machine.
