Default Oracle CEO Larry Ellison picks his Lexus LFA over his Enzo, Carrera GT and SLR

Thanks to LexusEnthusiast.com

Larry Ellison chooses Lexus LFA as his favorite car over his other cars like Mercedes SLR McLaren, Porsche Carrera GT and Enzo Ferrari.

"(he likes to say his favorite car is his "white Toyota," a white Lexus LFA, the company's $380,000 race car), "

In the NorCal forum for a couple years now people post about spotting "Larry" throughout the bay area, from driving to work on 101 to parked at some fine dining establishment in the city. (people have posted pics)

We almost thought about posting a "Larry Ellison Spotted thread" LoL

In any case the LFA does appear to be his Daily Driver and we're glad someone is out there actually putting some good milage on this car and probably having a blast doing it.

On a personal note, I had the opportunity to attend some house partys where Larry attended. This was a long time ago, but back then he drove a black NSX.

The true "Iron Man" doesn't own a Audi R8?

I've seen him on I-880 in his LFA. He had the Speed Bumps at Oracle removed because he damaged the lower lip once

Haters only hate because they haven't been behind the wheel of an LFA.

Those who have are able to say without a shadow of a doubt that it is their favorite car.

Very nice! although I will state the auto mode does the car a disservice. That's why I leave it in sport mode.
