Lexus LFA parts catalogue, read it and weep!

[LaurasOtherHalf]

Heard rumours that each car cost over £1M to make? Looks like they won't be selling spare parts at a loss......

$14,000 for a front bumper. Without all the bits to fit it on with. Or paint.
Better not hit anything bigger than a fly at speed.

[epom]

Good lord....

[LaurasOtherHalf]

$25,000 for a clutch!

[ChocolateFrog]

Wow.

Over $17000 for the pressure plate and over $4000 for friction plate.

Release bearing is a bargain at $7.

[Krikkit]

Doesn't seem that mental (Except the clutch! I bet someone like Sachs could machine you one for significantly less)

How much is a front bumper for an Enzo or LaFerrari?

[justanotherJC]

The windscreen glass is $18278. Would windscreen cover pay for that?

[LaurasOtherHalf]

Hope nobody dinks a door in a car park!

Expensive toyota with a volkswagen engine...

More like read it and rejoyce... Things like this make me so happy that I don't lust after this sort of car or have any aspiration to own anything like it, ever. It makes racing seem thoroughly affordable, and it makes the cost of the simple pleasure of driving on the road seem absolutely insignificant.

Not as amusing as your ZR

But surely you would if you could afford it.

For some people $18,000 is a couple of days wages...

I did see an LFA in the flesh once and it was parked outside the condominium apartment block I live in. Good to know my rent money is going to good use, by the end of my year's contract I might've given him enough for an LFA air freshener or a keyring.

In 10 years time they'll be CAT-D'd if someone nicks your badge...

Seriously, though, at those prices, it is certainly much cheaper to have parts made from scratch.

Can't cost 18k to have a bespoke windscreen company make you one to any shape you want, for example. Metal parts are, in the main, much easier to replicate.

The irony! A super hi tech car being repaired using home grown parts...

And that's why these will rarely be stuck away in collections and rarely driven.
