Plexus Worldwide To Auction a Rare Vehicle- One of Only 500 Ever Made- at Russo and Steele to Benefit Children and Families in Need

Portion of funds raised by car auction to be donated to Feeding America®

Scottsdale, AZ – Arizona Auto Week is known for showcasing some of the most luxurious and rare cars in the world, but one car on the Russo and Steele auction block will give back to people in need.

Thanks to Plexus Charities, the philanthropic organization of Plexus Worldwide, a large portion of the funds received from the auction of a Lexus LFA will benefit Feeding America, the nation’s largest organization dedicated to fighting domestic hunger through a network of food banks. The Lexus LFA was given to Plexus Charities by a private donation.

“No one can thrive on an empty stomach and we are so proud that through Plexus’ Nourish One Initiative and our partnership with Feeding America, we have already contributed funding for more than 4.5 million meals* to children and families in need in just 6 short months,” said Tarl Robinson, CEO and Founder of Plexus Worldwide. “With the donation of this rare Lexus LFA, we’re excited to see how many more meals can be added to that ever-growing total.”

“We rely on partnerships with organizations like Plexus to help our food banks get food onto the tables of families in Arizona and across the nation,” said Briana Crane, Director of Development at Feeding America. “It will be exciting to watch the auction and know that the number of meals donated increases with each new bid.”

The Lexus LFA is said to have set a new benchmark in the world of high performing cars. After ten years in development, production was limited to just 500 models. The Lexus LFA is equipped with a powerful 4.8-liter V10 paired with an Automated Sequential Gearbox that produces upshifts in just 200 milliseconds—breaking the lap record at Nürburgring for a production car on noncompetition tires. Its engine delivers 552 of horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque and can go from 0 mph to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds. With its impressive top speed of 202 miles per hour, it was even able to outrun a personal business jet.

The Plexus Lexus LFA, Consignment #6508, will be slated for the Russo and Steele auction calendar on Friday, January 18, 2019. For more information on the vehicle and auction, visit https://russoandsteele.com/scottsdale/.
