Video: Lexus LFA Owner Loses Control, Crashes in Singapore

Posted by Kevin on April 9th, 2018

A Lexus LFA has crashed in Singapore after some extreme foolishness — here’s video of the unfolding accident, sprinkled with some NSFW language:

(Normally, car crashes are not the kind of stories we like to publish — however, The Straits Times reports that no one was injured. Also, there were only 500 Lexus LFAs ever built, and any accident is significant.)

how painful! It's not too difficult to spin out a powerful RWD supercar! ughh.

A little too much gas on that corner. Good to hear he is unhurt and alive. Life is worth more than a car, even one that is now, what? close to a million?!

I feel for him! He will eventually get another (I hope)

I hate you for posting this. Literally it wasn't even a few days ago that I was thinking to myself in regards to how I haven't heard of any LFA's ever being messed up/destroyed. Now you show me this. You really ruined my mood. Thanks for that. :(

Wow that is sad, just judging by the video a lone, seems like he wasn't going that crazy but the bus was possibly changing lanes and spooked him. I wouldn't want to go up against a bus either.

Poor LFA, it did not deserve this. I hope there is an effort to bring it back to its OEM glory, if not I suppose all the rest of the LFA owners can enjoy their value going up.

Looks like there was no real mechanical damage, just a lot of busted body panels. Might be restorable.

I share your feelings -- really thought hard about posting it, as I don't like to publish stories about accidents.

There was another white LFA that got busted up in Florida in the first couple years of production -- it was fully restored and sold to someone in Dubai.

Unfortunately, that LFA has been totalled. It was in Singapore and it is too expensive to fix it. LFAs cost $1.25 million new in Singapore

Unfortunately, that LFA has been totalled. The carbon fiber chassis was in all likelihood damaged since it hit the curb with a lot of force. It was in Singapore and it is too expensive to fix it. LFAs cost $1.25 million new in Singapore

We should crowdfund to fix it LOL. No LFA should be left alone. They're so damn special that not a single one in my opinion should be destroyed. Imagine in years from now that there are the same amount of LFA's alive as created. Lexus is all about perfection and I think they should try to fix that legend.

He went full power and the car's tail started coming out considering LFA has touring non-racing slick tires unlike other supercars that have velcro-like sticky racing rubber (Cup 2, Trofeo R). He panicked and yanked the steering to countersteer and ended up overcorrecting and slammed into the curb.

I should have put a warning that the video is not for the faint of heart LOL

When I watched it the first time, it was literally painful to watch. I almost really wanted to "unwatch" it.
