Lexus LFA sold out

[Blackseal]

If you were wondering whether there was a market for a $375,000 Lexus, wonder no more. Automotive News reports that all 500 copies of the 552-horsepower LFA are officially sold out. Not a surprise if you ask us, considering the fact that there always seems to be a healthy market for ultra-rare exotics with a ridiculously low production quota. But the fact that the LFA is resonating with the European elite is a bit of a shock, as the report claims that one-third of pre-sold LFAs are heading straight for the land of Porsche, Mercedes-Benz and BMW. Lexus even brought eight of the German LFA owners to the 24 Hours of Nurburgring race for some wining and dining.

 

Lexus hasn't announced how many LFAs would go to which regions of the globe, but an earlier Wall St. Journal report quoted Lexus as saying that Toyota's luxury arm would hand-pick which perspective buyers would gain the right to own the LFA.

You are right: The LFA is not about history.. it is about the future.

Considering the recent financial crisis and Toyota's recalls/bad press/law suits, I am rather surprised this

Supercar get sold out so quicky within 6 months after going on order.

Some more, the customers are subjected to Lexus selection.

It is indeed the future of unintended acceleration

Actually , Lexus created LF-A not really for ''who is the king of road'' , they just want to show their technology the whole body is bulit of CFRP and that is a very expensive thingy..

 

If they really want to bulit speed , why don't they bulit like the supra ?

a $375,000 car got recaleed due to a $5 bucks floormat? that would be a joke...

 

oh wait, prob the floormat cost more than $5..since it's supposed to be high-tech too..
