The Lexus LFA Market Just Did Something Crazy…

“Hey, when you want something, you want something…”

That’s exactly what just happened with the Lexus LFA market.

A 2012 LFA with just 700 miles just sold for $1.8 million.

Watched that one on BAT. Delighted that the LFA is getting this well deserved attention especially for what seemed like a time capsule one in this action. Well have to see what the future holds but it's certainly a trend the LFA deserves!

I think they will continue to skyrocket as the production was so limited and it features such a special engine which will never be made again.

Same with Carrera GT which has also skyrocketed in value.

With only 500 built and nothing like this built again, it can potentially be a 10 million plus car in 20 years.

It is without question the greatest car Japan has ever built.

i agree, rarity and the engine make it special. CGT is just crazy, they jumped big time recently especially after that blue one going for 6 millions....

and honestly it's going to be hard for another japanese car to top it. given all the emission restrictions, i don't see how they can make something this special anymore.

lexus really proved something with this car.

The only issue with this is they will be so valuable and have so much upside potential nobody will ever drive one again.

Remember when retards on here were talking crap about the LFA, comparing it to much lesser cars, calling it a sales flop, and making up the most ridiculous braindead nonsense.

Which is an issue with most "super" cars now, even "special edition" Porsches that aren't really all that special. The LFA is truly special because it will never be made again, and likely won't ever get a true successors. Ferraris and Lambos on the other hand are dollar a bucket, lol.
