Default Porsche 997.2 911 GT3 RS chasing a red Lexus LFA

I know the video does not show very responsible driving, but still entertaining notheless.

At 3:53, the Lexus LFA really unleashes the full fury and leaves the GT3 RS in the dust

Wow, that's in the Philippines. I was on that same expressway just 2 years ago! But I thought the lone LFA in the Philippines was bought by Lexus Manila and meant to be a showcase car?

Really?? I thought also there is one LFA in Phillipines (the white one). Maybe, they imported another one??

Yup, this is in the South Luzon Expressway that passes through Manila. Yeah, it's possible they imported one. Anyone know anymore about this LFA?

indeed, very interesting. i also read a lot that there is only one in manila and that's the white one

now there is a red? too bad video was cut short, i wonder if it's RHD or LHD. but either way if what said previously was right (they said it so strong only one over there), then it seems like someone exported one from another region. and if it's RHD, then it can only be from so many places

Lexus Manila procured only LFA #161 as it is the only allocation for the country. The red one in the video is a gray market car that was imported into the country. The owner must have really deep pockets or is well connected...or both. That LFA is left hand drive.
