  • Own up, who bought the 2 Lexus LFA?

    Is the buyer some1 from here? can bring me go spin spin?


    Mar 5, 2010
    2 $1.25m Lexus sold


    The 4.8-litre V10 engine-powered Lexus LFA, with a top speed of 325kmh, has a carbon fibre bodywork and can sprint from zero to 100kmh in 3.7 seconds.


    TWO units of the new $1.25 million Lexus LFA sports car bound for Singapore were snapped up even before the price was confirmed, reported The Business Times on Friday.

    The limited edition cars, the first ever produced by Japan, were booked by two long-time Lexus owners who are businessmen in their 60s, according to BT.

    William Choo, commercial director of Borneo Motor's Lexus division, said that the businessmen has each written a cheque for $80,000 as deposit for the cars after the Chinese New Year holidays, 'even before we could give them a firm price.'

    Singapore has been allocated two units of only 500 cars to be produced over a two-year period, with the first car expected to be delivered in the first quarter of next year.

    Mr Choo told BT that Borneo Motors, Lexus' authorised distributor in Singapore, hopes to 'be able to get a couple more' because 'there is strong interest from at least two more people.'

                    Top gear always laugh at Jap cars or for that matter non British cars (in the past).

                    As mentioned, people who buy this, like the Zonda and Enzo are likely to have already a stable of other exoticas.

                    Like people who buy a patek 3939 would already be using paul newmans as daily or End of Days for swimming type.

                      I suspect Mr Kwee would be one of them.

                              it does have a 8.0L W16 engine. Maybe too big for transport dept to license?
