LFA No. 225 Most Popular Brown (Car) in Cleveland

By -

2012 Lexus LFA

Draped in Brown Stone Metallic, ultra-rare LFA No. 225 up for sale at Cleveland dealership with just 507 miles on the 4.8-liter V10.

We already know how much of a jewel the LFA was and is. After all, only 500 were ever built between 2010 and 2012 for the 2011 and 2012 model years. Of those, just 150 landed in the United States. Some wore white, others wore yellow. Even a few snuggled up in red, blue or black.

However, only one out of 500 arrived in Brown Stone Metallic. Behold LFA No. 225. According to Road & Track, this may be the most popular brown (car) in all of Cleveland. After all, it’s on sale at Cleveland dealership Marshall Goldman Motors.

The rarest of the rare barely touched the highway before landing at Marshall Goldman, logging just 507 miles on the 4.8-liter V10 in eight years. As Road & Track speculates, the owner likely wanted to preserve the LFA rather than drive it. That’s a shame, to say the least.

The brown party continues inside the brown LFA. There, saddle tan and black leather mix it up with carbon fiber and bronze trim throughout. It’s an enjoyable place to be when it comes to experiencing all the rare Lexus has to offer, especially a brown gem like this LFA.

And what better experience for the ears than the 4.8-liter V10. It’s not often engines are sent to musical instrument makers for tuning of a different sort. Yet, Yamaha’s music division did exactly that for Lexus. The result is a wondrous sound no other engine of any cylinder count could ever match.

Speaking matching, a luxury performance machine like this needs a matching luggage set. Tumi provided a pair of carbon fiber hard cases for the LFA, plus a soft duffel bag, all perfect for a weekend outing on the highway.

How much to buy this unique LFA? The dealer won’t say online, but will gladly tell you over the phone, if so interested. As they say, if you have to ask, you (probably) can’t afford it. Then again, it’s not often an LFA like this comes up for sale in the first place.
