The Lexus LFA is the kind of car that will probably never be made ever again. It’s unlikely we’ll ever see Lexus or Toyota building a carbon fiber-bodied grand tourer with a non-turbocharged V10 that wails to over 9,000rpm. It’s a watershed moment for the brand, and we’re glad the LFA existed.
It’s been over a decade since LFA production wrapped up, but the car has become an icon and a legend. When it was introduced, it carried a base price tag of around $400,000, but these days you’re looking at about $600,000 to $800,000 for a super low mileage example.
But over in Australia, it seems there is a near-zero kilometer example that might be looking for a new owner. So, how did that happen?

As it turns out, a Toyota dealer had to buy a previously unsold LFA in order to be able to register the car in the future. The car had to comply to the Road Vehicle Standards Act over there to avoid a mountain of paperwork to get it road legal. Mind you, the car was reported sold and reported as a sale in the country’s sales tally. But Lexus Australia said the car sitting in the dealership has yet to driven home.
So, somewhere in Australia is a ‘brand new’ LFA sitting in a Toyota dealership. The dealership in question has not been named, and remains as a showroom piece...just like the LFA in Lexus Manila. Mind you, the LFA display unit in the country has moved around a bit, so we reckon the one in Australia has much lower mileage.
There are little to no details about the ‘brand new’ LFA, nor was a price was mentioned or disclosed. But should an enthusiast with deep pockets make an offer, we might be looking at a million dollars at the very least.
