Default My photos of grey Lexus LFA (Lexus of Calgary, Alberta)

Took these while checking out a certified RCF for sale.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year everyone!

p.s. For the keen eye, notice the absence of winglet on this particularly spec'ed LFA. It has been owned by the dealership owner for almost 5 years. From what I heard, it is not a garage queen as he drives it quite a lot in the summer months. Parks it in the dealership in the winter.

I must say I love the fact that the beautiful LFA still continues to grace the showroom floors of a few Lexus dealers! The car just continues to amaze me every time I get in a drive it.

Yeah, it am always excited to see this LFA in the showroom. Despite the high quality of the pictures, it does not do justice to the shape or color of this LFA. It has also been displayed at the local car shows for many years. The owner of the dealership really loves his LFA and apparently wants to keep it even after 4+ years of owning it.

FYI, it is not a winglet delete

The winglets were a small $ option

Thanks for the correcting. Thought it came as part of the base model LFA. I personally like it without the winglet.

You probably just remember from early on in the LFA ordering process, as winglets were standard at one point. Lexus changed it to be an option so that buyers could have a flush look when the spoiler is retracted as standard, but aero is sacrificed.

I recall asking one of the product specialists why they made it an option instead of a delete, but I don't remember what the answer was. In any case, at a nominal $200 option, not a big deal.

Great to hear from you after a long time. That is true, I recalled it as being a standard item on the LFA and was deleted. Now I know Lexus made it an option later on.
