Matt Bacon Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Looks lovely.... a great colour combo and super-sharp. And I have to agree... the Tamiya LFA is probably the best car kit I have ever built (though I do have the 300SL in my stash, I haven't built it yet...) best, M.

The Lexus LFA was made 2011 to 2012 . It had a 4.8Litre V10 engine . Only made 500 , 10 came to Australia priced at $750,000 Australian dollars . A pretty rare car . In the Tamiya kit are two rear spoiler parts , up or down , they are held in place by 3 tiny rare earth magnets supplied in the kit . Thanks for the nice comments .

Tommy124 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Very nice build of this special car with one one of the best-sounding engines, Bruce! Another fact around this car is that Toyota's most experienced test driver Hiromu Naruse died in an LFA Nürburgring Edition close to the track in 2011. https://www.motortrend.com/news/lexus-lfa-test-driver-killed-in-crash-in-germany-9096/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippi Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Bodacious looking Lexus. With a different back drop it could pass for a 1:1. Nicely done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TransAmMike Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I tried to find it no no avail, but recently saw one for sale for low 6 figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papajohn97 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Beautiful clean build of an unusual short-lived model from Lexus. I think The styling is pretty nice when compared with more recent Lexus models (ugliest front ends IMO since the Edsel). I’ve seen everything in the streets here in So. CA including Bugatti Veyrons and La Ferrari’s but I have yet to see one of these LFA’s in the flesh, they must be pretty rare. Thanks for sharing!

AlbertD Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Beautiful. I bet your post sells a few kits. I know after seeing yours I want one but I'm sure it won't finish as nice as yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
