Lexus’ F line of performance vehicles is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, and to commemorate the occasion, the Japanese automaker is rolling out a one-off LFA Art Car that was designed by Portuguese Pedro Henrique. The LFA Art Car will be in attendance at the 24 Hours of Spa where it will feature in the on-track parade on Saturday, July 28, before the start of the 24-hour race.

The Lexus LFA Art Car doesn’t look like much if you don’t know what you’re looking for. On the surface, it’s just a white LFA with some random black drawings and scribbles. You might even say that it looks like one of those test prototypes sporting swirly camouflage on its body.

But like most pieces of art, there’s more to this LFA than meets the eye. According to Pedro Henrique, the inspiration behind the livery he created for the LFA Art Car revolves around the “idea of fluidity present in the contemporary life, where things are in constant movement, and it’s hard to freeze anything.”

“The lines in the drawings follow this feeling of going everywhere and never stopping; a progressive life,” Henrique adds. “I wanted to reach an organic feeling by using handmade material and liquid lines in the elements spread through the car. By doing this, I hope to express a feeling where the car becomes a less defined shape, in constant mutation in its movement.”

When you look at the LFA Art Car with Henrique’s words in mind, it takes a different shape altogether. The black livery becomes less like random drawings and more like expressions of grace and fluidity. The constant movement the artist is talking about manifests itself in the lines in such a way that even when the LFA is idle, it still feels like it’s in a perpetual state of movement. It’s an interesting way to look at an Art Car.

Those who are more interested in the fact this art car is an LFA will be happy to know that there are still a few examples of the supercar that are still available in the U.S. According to Lexus, around 12 units are still available in U.S. showrooms, a surprising revelation considering that production of the LFA ended six years ago.

Regardless of what you may think of the supercar, the LFA Art Car is a good reminder that underneath all that visual interpretation is a car that packs 550 horsepower from a 4.8-liter naturally aspirated V-10 engine that sends all that power to the two rear wheels. It blast to a top speed that approaches 200 mph!

The LFA Art Car is unlikely to go on sale, but if you’re interested in any one of the 12 units that are still available, you’re going to need to have at leat $500,000 to go home with one of the last few units of one of the best Japanese supercars to arrive this decade.
