Lexus LFA 2011 Bahrain Prices & Specs

The LFA is the Lexus brand's "halo" model, serving more as a publicity stunt for their potential engineering prowess rather than an actual profitable product. Production of the LFA is limited to 500 units worldwide, with only a handful making it to the GCC, and purchase is by invitation only. The LFA, available only in coupe form for now, is powered by a 4.8-litre V10 with a 9000 rpm redline. It is mated to a 6-speed sequential automanual gearbox and a rear-wheel-drive platform with limited-slip differential. The LFA has a 48:52 front-to-rear weight distribution, and a 65% carbon-fibre body. It comes with 20-inch BBS alloy wheels, Brembo six-piston front and four-piston rear brakes, launch control, 3-mode stability control with sport mode and a speed-sensitive rear wing. The LFA interior incorporates carbon fibre, leather, alcantara, and metallic surfaces. Tech features include the Lexus Remote Touch controller interface, an LCD speedometer with customisable themes, alloy paddle-shifters, a 12-speaker Mark Levinson sound system with compact lightweight components, custom-made Tumi suitcases with a two-piece set made from carbon-fiber style materials and inscribed with the VIN and more. Safety features include several airbags for the two passengers, including seat-belt airbags. Customers invited to buy the car can personalise the Lexus LFA in undefined ways, in terms of colour schemes inside and out. There are apparently enough customisable options to ensure no two identical models will exist in the UAE. Only 20 cars per month, with cars built to order, and production is expected to end before 2013.
