A Seldom-Used Lexus LFA May Reach $1 Million at Auction
Headline: Rare 2012 Lexus LFA Up for Auction on Bring a Trailer, Valued at Over $1 Million
In the world of luxury sports cars, the 2012 Lexus LFA is a standout. Currently up for bid on Bring a Trailer, this particular model, chassis no. 205, boasts an impressive 4,400 miles on the odometer and a striking white finish.
With only 500 examples produced worldwide, the LFA's rarity makes it a highly sought-after vehicle. The car's value reflects this exclusivity, with market prices generally ranging between $700,000 and over $1.6 million.
The LFA's V-10 engine, famed for emitting the "roar of an angel," is paired with a 12-speaker Mark Levinson sound system, ensuring a thrilling driving experience. The interior, finished in black leather with red accents, is both stylish and comfortable, with power-adjustable seats for added convenience.
The LFA also rides on 20-inch double-spoke BBS alloy wheels, adding to its sleek and athletic appearance. This particular model, with its low mileage, is expected to fetch a price of around $1 million to $1.2 million or more, depending on its condition and exact specifications.
First launched at a price of about $375,000, the LFA's value has since appreciated significantly due to its engineering excellence, exclusivity, and enthusiast demand. Special editions like the Nürburgring Package command even higher prices nearing $2 million, but standard models with low miles, like this one, typically fetch in the $1 million+ range.
The Lexus LFA was built to prove Toyota's capability in building sports cars, and it has certainly done that. It's one of the great cars of the 21st century, and this particular model offers a rare opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts to own a piece of automotive history.
