If only I could afford one. What a dream


I believe the yellow car was a demo
When you buy a $400K car, the monthly payments are going to look bonkers

I think all 500 LFA's are 2012 models if i'm not mistaken.

Model years 2011–2012 ...
With 20 units produced monthly, production of the entire LFA extended from December 2010 to December 2012

Guess that article was a little misleading, then. Paris Hilton must have a new-er LFA, not a new one per se.Originally Posted by S2000toIS350
Confirming that all LFAs are 2012 cars (goofy but true)

Correct, every LFA is officially designated as MY2012, regardless of when it was produced/sold.Originally Posted by Hoovey2411

The yellow one was Lexus' [edit: P014] that they provided at her request for her TV show. The white one was the one she bought, although she got rid of it at some point.Originally Posted by mmarshall

Here she is getting into her white LFA, after a short interview, and driving off, although I'm not sure I believe the part about her re-painting the yellow one.Originally Posted by gengar

I am SHOCKED that paris hilton has such a good taste in cars. Also $5600/month is chump change for her lol.

Well, if she actually have to make monthly payments for it, my guess is they are coming out of her monthly allowance from her trust fund ? Originally Posted by SilvrBulet

Anyway, I think it was nice that Paris Hilton was someone who was actively driving the car around and bringing Lexus and the LFA press. Which I don't know if anybody here remembers, but Lexus wanted the LFA to be driven by people who would bring it to posh areas and enhance their brand, hence Halo. Does the LFA has any more of a famous owner than Paris Hilton?

Not that I know of, but I have seen Larry Ellison of Oracle driving his white LFA on I880 here in the Bay Area. Originally Posted by G Star

Around the time he took delivery of the car, he had some speed-bumps removed from Oracle HQ because they damaged his low sitting LFA
