First Privately Owned Lexus LFA to Crash?









This may be the first private customer known to have crashed the $375,000 Lexus LFA.
There's not a lot of information going around about the incident nor can we confirm that it's the first ever privately owned LFA to crash.

However, the buffs over at Club Lexus say that this is LFA No 142 that was originally delivered in Orlando, while the folks at Lexus Enthusiast add that according to the CarFax report, the accident occurred on October 8, 2011.

The LFA, which seems to have hit and/or been hit in front and at the rear, is said to have been acquired by Howard Brown & Sons Auto Sales in Sun Valley, California, before it was sold in Texas by Expo Motor Cars.

"The $400,000 Lexus LFA is more than just a supercar, but a marvel of engineering - and Lexus wants you to know that. The entire chasis is made entirely of carbon fiber. But beyond that, they couldn't just use traditional methods of producing carbon fiber, they reinvented the process with their own loom that could weave it specifically how they want it."
