Default Red LFA roaming in The Philippines

The 2nd Lexus LFA in the Philippines was spotted driving around town. I give the guy a lot of credit for even bringing in this imported LFA into the country. There's only one Lexus LFA that was sent to The Philippines. That's LFA 161 at Lexus of Manila.

Same LFA I posted a video a while back taken from a 997 GT3 RS passenger side trying to chase the Lexus LFA. Ofcourse, as soon as the road opened up, the LFA vanished.

Haha I live in the same gated community as Manny, that is definitely not his. Yeah, cars here in the P.I. are hella expensive. Comparable to HK and SG. The white LFA costs $861,xxx USD at todays conversion rate.

Just to give you a comparison, a Lexus ISF (imported not through Lexus Manila) costs about $130,000. While a Lexus IS300 (we don't have IS250 or IS350) is about $74,000 USD

Well at least that LFA is being driven as it should and not locked up in a garage somewhere. Besides there are some nice mountain roads near Manila

Those prices aren't too bad, local ISF is $136,000, IS250 $62,000 & IS350 $72,000 in base spec here

Scary driving something like an LFA in traffic such as that.

Yeah risks like this are bound to happen. Like this poor 86 for example:
