Lexus F Performance Cars Brilliantly Built by Legos (Fridays are for F Presented by Continental ExtremeContact DWS^{06 Plus})

Lexus F models inspire crafty enthusiasts to create major rides with small bricks. 

Lexus ignited the automotive world when they unleashed their F Performance line. The F Performance and F-Sport models added edge. Lexus broke out of its shell and showed it could master sporty, hi-po, and sexy cars. From the LFA to the RC F, the F line up is Lexus at its most inspired.

Like all iconic nameplates, Lexus F rides succeed in connecting with drivers. A great car motivates enthusiasts to build, modify, race. We came across inventive Lego recreations of Lexus’ powerful and exotic F rides. This week’s Fridays are for F is a look at these incredibly cool Lego Lexus creations.

Noah L. has built an impressive amount of Lego sports cars. His latest is the Lexus LFA. And it is a chef’s kiss of perfection. The enthusiast is active in the automotive and Lego community. But what makes his brick builds so exceptional is that he is flying without a net. All are his own creation; no kit, no instructions. When completed, he does offer a build sheet on Rebrickable for those looking to Lego.

Detail on the scale model is excellent, but what Noah captures so perfectly is the LFA spirit and style. “The LFA is one of my top five favorite cars,” he says. “The design is understated compared to most exotics, but still very striking at the same time in my opinion.” He’s especially happy with the rear. “I’m quite pleased with the way the side air intakes above the rear wheels turned out, as well as how smoothly the rear spoiler fits when retracted.”

Brick Built Racers chose the Lexus IS 500 F-Sport as their inspiration.

It took 354 parts and a lot of steps to craft.

“Designed in the eight-wide Speed Champions format. [It] features an aggressive front end, rear lip spoiler, quad exhaust tips, and interior details. Supports up to two minifigures,” they add.

Archi_Bricks added the 2012 Lexus LFA to their stellar collection pictured above. Quite a crew of track savages.

Interior detail is spot on. As is the influence of that V10 motor. Even in Lego form, it feels fast.

We found the Lego car enthusiast community full of fun ideas and pure motorhead appreciation. And they give the Lexus F a lot of love. These LFA and F Sport models reflect the raging and super sleek performance that inspire the build.
