Looking for a used Lexus in South Africa? We have over 300 to choose from:
www.cars.co.za/searchVehicle....
Visit Crossley & Webb now if you're interested in purchasing this particular Lexus:
www.crossley-webb.com
Thanks to the Crossley and Webb dealership in Cape Town, Ciro De Siena and our video team were afforded the opportunity to spend time with one of the rarest cars on earth, the Lexus LFA.
Only 500 of these were made and there are only three reported to be in South Africa, so this really was a unicorn encounter.
In this video, we spend a lot of time getting to know the car, while Ciro takes us through the history of it's development, takes you on a tour of the interior and the engine, and of course turns it on to hear what is surely one of the world's best sounding cars ever made.

That's odd because the redline actually changes based on the oil temperature. If cold the redline sits at like 6000 and slowly increases as it warms up.

Ciro is just being dramatic, he could have done a lot while the engine is warming, he forgets this is not a crappy German or unreliable Italian Icons but a TOYOTA. An engine that revs to the stratosphere will obviously need time to lubricate everything first in order to remain RELIABLE. I am googling the place because I want to visit the place to see the car in person as I am celebrating 10yrs of living with hybrids, in particular, TOYOTA/Lexus brand and still luv my 2010 Prius (written off- by accident)

Lexus claimed their engine could rev from idle to its redline in 0.6 seconds and an analog tachometer needle could not accurately track the LFA's changes in engine speeds. This necessitated the use of a digital tachometer which can instantly display engine speed...... This is as fine as frog hair, words will do this "car" no justice.
