Being such a masterpiece, I always wonder why the LFA didn’t do well when it first came out. Yet now you see them selling for damn near $1M. It’s like Van Gogh. No one appreciated the work of art until it was gone. But why?

    375k brand new. Adjusted for inflation that car would be 500,000 new today.

    For reference in 2011 (when the LFA came out) here are the prices at the time:

    Murcielago: 354k Gallardo 550: 188k 458 Italia: 165k 911 Turbo 165k

    Lexus has very little pedigree to compete with these brands. And at that price?? It’s more rare than these cars I get it. But objectively at the time was it that much better than any of these?
