2012 Lexus LFA Coupe

Summary

Provided by NADAguides.com

The 2012 Lexus LFA is a mid-engine supercar powered by a 4.8-liter V8 engine that produces 552 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque, for a 0-62 time of 3.7 seconds. A 6-speed automatic sequential gearbox is paired with RWD. Fuel mileage is an EPA estimated 11 mpg city and 16 mpg highway. Features include carbon fiber body, racing multi-link suspension, carbon ceramic brake discs, high-performance cockpit, hand finished cabin trim, and an advanced cooling system. Safety is comprised of advanced airbags, anti-lock braking, emergency brake assist, xenon HID headlights, stability control, traction control, electronic brake distribution, and tire pressure monitoring.

Benefits of Driving a 2012 Lexus LFA Coupe

With two seats; a low, edgy supercar profile; and a high-revving V-10 engine; the front-engine, rear-wheel-drive LFA is unlike anything that Lexus has ever produced. It's a unique take on an exotic car--and almost like a Formula One race car--yet with Toyota's reputation for reliability and durability behind it, it's bound to be less trouble, to keep maintained and repaired, than Italian exotics.

What's new for 2012?

The 2012 Lexus LFA is an all-new exotic sports car, set to compete with the likes of the Ferrari Enzo or Lamborghini Gallardo. The very limited-production (500 total worldwide, with no more than 20 made per month) LFA is both an image-builder for the brand as well as an engineering testbed.

Model Strengths

Sheer speed and performance capability
exclusivity and rarity
collectibility
F1-influenced design
luxury-car interior appointments
racetrack ready but street-drivable

Model Review

The 2012 LFA has a traditional sports-car layout, with rear-wheel drive, the engine in front. From there, the LFA begins to sound more like a Formula One car, with its automated six-speed manual gearbox mounted in back to help assure a good weight distribution, and its body structure mostly made of carbon-fiber composite.

Original Warranty Original Warranty An original warranty is the warranty associated with a vehicle when it is brand new. In addition to the original warranty, select items, like tires, are typically covered by respective manufacturers. Also, an act of Federal law sometimes provides protection for certain components, like emissions equipment. The original warranty is often broken down into multiple sections, including: Basic Warranty: Typically covers everything except for parts that wear out through normal use of the vehicle. Examples of non-covered items are brake pads, wiper blades and filters. Drivetrain Warranty: This warranty covers items the basic warranty does not protect. Wear and tear items such as hoses will not be covered, but key items like the engine, transmission, drive axles and driveshaft often will be. Roadside Assistance: The level of service differs greatly with this warranty, but many manufacturers offer a toll-free number that helps provide assistance in case you run out of gas, get a flat tire or lock your keys in the car. Corrosion Warranty: This warranty focuses on protecting you from holes caused by rust or corrosion in your vehicle's sheet metal. Please check the owner's manual, visit a local dealership or look at the manufacturer's website to learn more about the specifics of the warranties that apply to a vehicle.	Miles	Months

Lexus Certified Pre-Owned Warranty Certified Pre-Owned Warranty To be eligible for Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) status, vehicles generally must be recent models with relatively low mileage. CPO vehicles must also pass a detailed inspection, outlined by the manufacturer, which is measured by the number of inspected points. Warranty coverage can vary from one manufacturer to the next. While most certified pre-owned programs transfer and extend the existing new car warranty terms, others offer a warranty that simply represents an additional year and mileage value. Always check with the manufacturer for the specific warranties they offer. Common features and benefits of Certified Pre-Owned warranties include: Age/Mileage Eligibility To even be considered for certification, a car must be a recent model year and have limited mileage. The exact requirements are established by individual manufacturers. Lease Term Certified Some manufacturers offer certified pre-owned cars for lease. The length of the lease is often shorter than a new car lease, but it will cost you less. Point Inspection These inspections entail a comprehensive vehicle test to ensure that all parts are in excellent working order. The point inspection list is simply a numbered list of exactly what parts of the car are examined. While many inspections range from a 70- to 150-point checklist, most are very similar and are performed using strict guidelines. Ask your local dealer about specific details. Return/Exchange Program Some manufacturers offer a very limited return or exchange period. Find out if you will get the sales tax and licensing/registration fees back should you return or exchange the car. Roadside Assistance Most certified pre-owned programs offer free roadside service in case your car breaks down while still under warranty. Special Financing Reduced-rate loans are available through many certified pre-owned programs. Manufacturer-backed inspections and warranties help eliminate the risks involved with buying pre-owned, so buyers who qualify can take advantage of the great offers. Transferable Warranty When a new car warranty transfers with the certification of the car and remains eligible for the next owner, it is known as a transferable warranty. Once the original transferable warranty expires, an extended warranty takes effect. Warranty Deductible This is the amount for which you are responsible when repair work is performed under the warranty. Some manufacturers require a deductible while others don't, so always ask.
