LFA is one of the cars we can see like the most precious stone in the world car market. The main story of LFA started in the year 2000 and presentations were made in 2005 about the future design of the LF-A Concept. Lexus, which is affiliated with Toyota Motors, made its rare work in 2010. The saga of the Japanese brand, the saga of the 500 out of the production limit, the last in 2012 Nürburgring Package version was ended.
After that hour, the LFA's were listed on the list of priceless names. Our location is now on the last Nürburgring Package LFA. The auction organization Scottsdale Auction is also expected to sell Japanese Melee, a high enough price to lift our eyes out of its nest.The 4.8L V10 engine provides 570 hp power.
I will be bidding on this. Dealer who kept this in storage for 6 years is a douche. Should have sold it to someone who would actually drive it Not bidding anywhere near his 1.2 million

Any further insight into the story on the car? Didn't know it was a dealer.
The $825k sale number really solidifies how special these cars are. There is speculation back and forth as to what the Nurburgring package cars (and standard cars) are really worth, but to see it in black and white is a great thing for the LFA market. Perhaps some of these dealers will get realistic, and at the same time private buyers will realize that they need to be willing to pay more.
When I got my allocation, the local dealer thought the Ring cars would be a bad play vs the regular ones and I thought so too. $75K upcharge for very little performance boost, plus I still am no fan of the fixed wing and canards up front.
Fascinating to see that premium on a ring car.
As I mentioned previously, a guy in Chicago has a ring car just sitting in storage (apparently making money for him) that never gets used.

I also wasn't a fan of the fixed wing. I love how the wing goes up on our "regular" LFA's.... Good to hear that the price for the ring car is going up...hopefully it helps the "regular" LFA also. In another note I do wish to know the exact number of Ring cars...I've heard conflicting reports that there maybe more than the 50 made......
I think the lesson, which has been proven time & time again in the collector car world, is that the limited track-focused version of a car will always be the most valuable and desired by far. I'm sure there were guys in the early '70s who argued that a Carrera RS wasn't worth the price when a 911 S provided 90% of the performance. Today the former is a $1 million dollar car and the latter is a $200,000 car. That's an extreme example, but hopefully my point comes across. It's about the rarity and how special the car is, not the performance that the option package provides.
