Lexus LFA sold out?

Lexus LFA

Despite its incredible £336k price tag, Lexus claims demand for its LFA supercar already outstrips supply.

According to an official press release, “formal expressions of interest in purchase” (not official sales) already outnumber the 500 LFA’s planned for production.

It’s possible to order an LFA up until the end of the Geneva Motor Show, which takes place in March.

The F1-inspired supercar is available in 56 countries, with all European sales being taken care of by Lexus Park Lane, London.

We were surprised by the asking price when it was announced, but it seems there are plenty of petrolheads with more than £300k to spend on a very cool new toy.
