      Not a chance. The body work being carbon is all going to have to be custom & done in house. I doubt you'd even get this repaired within a years time. And once you start removing things from the body I'm certain you'll find more issues that'll need repaired/replaced. The cost if I had to say in terms of repairs is going to be well over $550,000 between parts/labor. The Carbon Hood alone is like $17k. And doors I think are between $45-70k apiece. This is going to be a very interesting repair, and is it ever going to be a costly an timely one.

    Anyway this is extremely depressing seeing a LFA in this condition. The body being full carbon is just a tiny bit of why this car was so expensive. Also for those reading the V10 is as compact as a V6 engine.

    @electrikoptik 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    The creation of the V10 was lead by Lexus' chief engine designer Okamoto Takamitsu. The engine starts life at Toyota's Myochi plant. It is at this plant that the engine block is made from molted aluminium. The block is then sent to Toyota's Honsha factory. The same factory that used to be Toyota's F1 engine facility. The block will get milled, drilled and polished and emerges as a precise engine block. In a sealed room Takumi’s hone every sharp edge using precision polishing tools. After this a highly skilled Takumi pre-assembles the finished engine blocks to check if they fit precisely. Disassembled they travel as unit to Yamaha’s Iwata city plant. It is at this plant that 4 highly skilled Yamaha Takumi’s fully assemble V10. A process that takes 2,5 days for one engine. Before the engine gets put into an LFA, it undergoes a half day of exhaustive testing.

    The owner of this car is so cool, he took it out to shows and I saw him driving it around like at least once a month before it crashed. Sometimes i even saw it stuck in my old high school’s morning traffic, it was wild.

    I found a lot of the parts to repair it already and it doesn’t look like there is much in terms of frame damage. All the parts are 3-8k even a mirror if you find a drivers side one.

    If there is one thing, which I hate on japanese car maker policies, it would be the price outside Japan vs in Japan. In most cases, outside Japan is 5 times more expensive compared to prices in Japan. So it's worth buying directly from Japan and pay shipping and customs fees. You still save about 50%.

    If the car hit a fire hydrant sideways like that, the tub took the brunt of the impact. Basically that tub is ruined. This car will need new tub for sure. The lower deck cover is gone for sure. There are a bunch of water lines, oil lines, brake lines that might be damaged too. The driveshaft would take a big shunt from that fire hydrant too. Exhaust pipes probably damaged. The real cost of building an LFA was probably over 1 million usd back in 2012. Factor in inflation it should be over 2 million dollars now. So to fix it be properly be ready to cough out about 500,000-750,000 dollars.

    At least Lexus can still get you parts. The front bumper for my G8 is out of production. The best option I have been able to find is a damaged one that was in worse shape than mine for $5k.

  • @ag4allgood

    Got to fix it ! One year estimate on repairs might be too optimistic. Its the search or the re-engineering of the parts that cannot be found that will take time.

    When the LF-A just came out, we were told by Lexus corporation, in order the repair the carbon fiber panels, the whole car must ship to Germany for repair but it was more then 10 years ago, technology may change.

    Fix it. McLaren hired carbon fiber specialist to fix Rowan Atkinson's McLaren F1 which was in worse shape than this LFA. Stripped the car down to the bare unibody to see what can be repaired. Also, reach out to Lexus to see what parts are still be available for it. It's going to take more than a year to fix it. Do not rush to fix it. 2 to 4 years would be fine for any restoration project on this scale.
