To mark the end of production of its limited 500-unit run LFA, Lexus has come up with an F Sport bicycle that employs the same Carbon Fibre-Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) used in the supercar body, reports Lexus Enthusiast, which also posted these images.
The bicycle has a Dura-Ace Di2 electrically-controlled gearchange mechanism for easy shifting through the 22 speeds. Each unit has been assembled by Takumi (Taiwanese bicycle maker) technicians and painted to LFA standards.
According to Lexus Enthusiast, each Lexus regional office has been given the option of ordering these cycles, but with only two units in the US and one in Canada, they remain very rare.
The Motomachi facility gave birth to the last Lexus LFA on December 14, 2012, after having hand-built the car for two years. The Lexus LFA had a 4.8 litre V10 that produced 560 PS and 480 Nm of torque, allowing a 0-100 km/h time of under four seconds and a top whack of 325 km/h.

Awesome legend
LOL… Everyone involved in making the LFA is called ‘Takumi’
Lexus LFA…my favorite supercar…
wonder how much the bike cost…
Was that last bit in the video off the Top Gear review?
Everytime I heard the engine rev, it gives me goosebumps. I dream to hear once in real life, not through computer speaker. “It was not built to be compared on paper, it was created so driver could realize their ultimate potential”. This conclude what LFA meant to be, internet warrior bashed this car for small engine displacement, GT-R faster, overpriced….etc. But what they don’t know is how refined the car is, how much this car is engineered. How much details they pay attention to, especially the sound Yamaha created. This shows that Japanese engineering is still at a top level, but they can’t managed to fully utilize what they can.
Han & Gisele gonna ride this bike on FF7.
Whatever…. either Lexus or Proton bike, bikers always wanted good bicycle like giant, merida, Raleigh…..
This kind of bicycle seems only for collection, not for ride
The reason that marks the end of LFA production by introducing bicycles is the left over carbon fibre sheets. Not enough to make another car but just right for small bike tubes, carbon fibre pen, carbon fibre phone casing.. believe me.
