The LFA is amazing, but a buyer is as much interested in the exclusivity of it as they would be the performance.
Anyone ever see the South Park where Cartman buys a theme park, and runs commercials about how awesome it is, but that YOU can't get in!?
I think of the LFA like that. "It's $400,000, but you can't just buy one even if you had the money."
Lexus knows what they are doing.

The rest of my post described some of the wealth out there. For millions of people, $400K can be found between their couch cushions. It's literally like spending $20 for the rest of us.
It's just a matter of whether or not they desire the LFA.

And Billionaires and millionaires unless they are car enthusiasts aren't spending 2 million on a car!

Well Bugatti veyron's sell around 73 per year and that is $500,000 less than the 2 million dollars that you believe that the LFA could fetch if they asked for it.. No way the LFA could sell for 2 million dollars..what does it do better than a Veyron?

It's not about if the LFA is even worth it. It's supply and demand.
Charge "only" $400K for a car that still doesn't do much more than some much less expensive cars and they pre-sell the whole production run before production even gets going.
I personally think that Lexus should build more, not necessary have had a higher price. One or the other, it's either too cheap or too scarce.
In business, the idea is to make as much profit as possible. Lexus, in this case, chose to build a short lived status car. They are giving away the opportunity to make money. Maybe they could have sold 1,000 at the same price. Or, they could have charged even more.
