When Lexus first announced that it planned on selling 20 LFA
units monthly (500 total) with each one costing at minimum $375,000, we
thought the Japanese brand had lost its mind. However, if reports are
to be believed, just 10 units of the LFA are waiting for to be picked up
at dealerships across Lexus’ worldwide network of dealerships.
Lexus has yet to confirm or deny these figures, nor has it mentioned whether all 50 LFA Nurburgring Editions
have sold. Nevertheless, we very impressed by Lexus’ sales figures of
the LFA as it tells us two clear things about the company and the brand.
First
of all, it proves just how successful the marketing and sales team at
Lexus has been in order to ship out almost all of the LFAs ever
produced. It also indicates that the LFA is a true performance car
which owners believe is worth the $375,000 - even if on paper, it
certainly doesn’t appear to be twice as good as many of its competitors.
As
a refresher, the LFA features an incredibly-advanced 4.8-liter V10
engine pumping out 560 HP at a screaming 9,000rpm while an impressive
torque figure of 354lb-ft wraps up the performance capabilities of the
engine. As a result, the LFA can launch to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds
and continue onto a top speed of 202 mph. However, if reports are to be
believed, the upcoming LFA II could be twice as fast and twice as expensive
