lfa tokyo 600x334 at Sights and Sounds: Lexus LFA Tokyo Edition

Even though Lexus LFA does not seem that impressive by today’s super car standards, there is no doubt it is one of the most iconic cars in this class, and definitely one of the all time great Japanese machines. It is always a pleasure to see and hear one of these up close. 

This time it’s actually better than that, as the Lexus LFA we have here is the limited Tokyo Edition, of which only 9 were ever produced. This is apparently #2.

This stunning Lexus LFA Tokyo Edition was spotted by Automotive Mike at “Droomrit voor het Leven” at charity event in the Netherlands.
