The complicated story of the Lexus LFA has been uttered by every supercar fan old enough to watch Top Gear, but here’s the rundown. First debuting as a concept at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show, the LFA was an attempt to create a halo car to promote Lexus’ new F performance division. Two more concepts were shown during the car’s 10 years of development, and the car was famously redesigned from the ground up right before production, fitted with a 4.8-liter V-10 and carbon fiber body on the finished product. The LFA retailed at $375,000,  so sales were initially grim and skepticism was high.Â
Despite a rocky start, the LFA’s price has done nothing but appreciate, and Lexus’ supercar is often praised for its lovely exhaust note. Â Although only 500 were built, now’s your chance to purchase one, as there’s a low-mileage LFA on duPont Registry right now. This specific example is #221 and has only 356 miles on the clock, netting it a price tag of $439,900.
This 2012 LFA is finished in Obsidian black with a red leather interior and includes both keys and the original window sticker; it’s also fully-loaded with Mark Levinson premium audio, heated seats, car cover, navigation, and even Tumi fitted luggage.Â
It may seem like an overpriced, mid-engined Lexus but the LFA’s triple exhaust, 553-horsepower V-10 and luxurious interior might be enough to justify its $440,000 price tag.Â
