About what they go for. Hence why I'm sure 40 yrs from now, LFAs will easily go for 1-2million.

Of course in 40 years, a loaf of bread would probably run $50.

Nice!

Kinda sad that for such an iconic car from Japan, the prices aren't higher. Considering what some American muscle and Euro rarities fetch.

I'm kinda surprised some enterprising Japanese car nut/fanboy hasn't done a kit variant. Would be a screamer to use that body style with a built 2JZ in with all the BBK and big wheels look.

up to this point, well not even this point, maybe up to the year 2000 exotics have been nothing but mechanically operated cars, now you combine all the electronics and computers like in the LFA and in 40 years, that digital heads up display might not even work, and who knows what other state of the art technology is not gonna age well.

In 40yrs I seriously doubt any LFA's would be running unless major conversions were done. That engine would be outlawed.

If I had that kind of money to burn, I would buy it without even giving it a second thought. That's a classic of epic proportions!

Agree, but collectors that can afford this probably already garaged an LF-A.

That would be cool to see them parked side by side in your garage. I have seen the recent shots of the 2 cars together and its cool to see the Toyota sports car lineage

I had the pleasure of seeing one in person at Moroso when I drove the IS F at the track for the first time. Lovely car and extremely rare.
