Lexus has just delivered the last LFA to a Swiss customer, marking the end of sales of the stunning supercar.
The proud owner of the LFA No. 493 is Nicolas Schilling, a long-time friend of Japan and an exporter of French and Italian wines into Japan, who opened one of the first gastronomic Japanese restaurants in Switzerland. "I was first impressed by the LFA’s design, but it was when I heard the sound of the engine of this breath-taking machine that I knew it was my dream car," he said. "To me, the LFA stands for far-reaching innovative technology, absolute passion and determination, all dressed-up in pure elegance. It’s a world-class vehicle."
Forty units (from a total of 500) have been sold in Europe, including four with the Nurburgring performance package. Germany was the largest market in Europe (15 units), followed by Switzerland (6), United Kingdom (5), the Netherlands (4) and France (3).
In related news, the Japanese carmaker has also announced plans to display an LFA and its Gazoo Racing variant at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, which takes place from July 12-14 near Chichester.
