Auto Parts: Lexus Launches LFA Configurator

Saturday, October 24th, 2009

Lexus launches its comprehensive new online configurator, which is good enough that can satisfy the desires of nearly every owner.

Once you will go to the Lexus LFA website, the configurator takes you to a simple opening screen that can provide background and milestones on the new nearly $400,000 supercar or whisk you directly to the task at hand.

The choices on the left-hand column include a gallery, with images and video; product info, including specifications and pricing, and the heart of the matter — the actual vehicle configurator.

Make your choice from exterior or interior. The former will step through a series of choices, starting with exterior colors. The palette is rich, with a wide assortment of standard colors (Whitest White, Pearl White, Metallic Silver, Pearl Gray, Pearl Brown, Pearl Blue, Pearl Yellow, Pearl Red, Red, Black, Ivory White, Mint Green and Aqua) and special-order hues (Passionate Pink, Sunset Orange, Lapis Lazuli, Black Amethyst, Brownstone, Crystal Gold, Lime Green, Steel Blue and Lavender).

Cyber tire kickers can also spec one of three wheel options and six brake caliper colors.

Obsessive-compulsive types will want to move directly to the interior section, which includes a choice of leather or Alcantara upholstery in various colors for seatback and seat front, choice of colors for stitching, steering wheel, carpet, headliner, door panel, center console and metal trim.

Like exterior, interior Lexus can be viewed from several angles and perspectives.

There is also a Save+View option, as well as a provision for downloading an e-brochure.
