Last Lexus LFA leaves Motomachi Plant
Mon, 17 Dec 2012The very last Lexus LFA – LFA #500 – has left the Motomachi Plant in Japan two years after production started and three years after the LFA was revealed.
The idea of a Lexus supercar that cost so much seemed barking mad, but the LFA turned out to be a very special car indeed, not just for its build and performance but for what it meant for Lexus and Toyota – a future that would encompass many of the LFA’s design cues and DNA in future mainstream models.
But three years after the LFA debuted, and exactly two years after the LFA went in to production at the TMC dedicated production facility at the Motomachi Plant, Aichi Prefecture, the last LFA – a white LFA Nurburgring Package #500 – has left the building.
It took a team of 170 workers the full two years to produce the 500 LFAs at the rate of one a day, and every car has been sold.
It’s the end of a supercar adventure for Lexus, but an adventure that seems to have made Lexus and Toyota a far more interesting car maker than before.
