 | The Lexus LFA is rare and fast -- and just starting to find traction in the collector car marketplace. Flash back to the year 2000 and Toyota had started work on a world-beating supercar. At the 2005 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, it unveiled the Lexus LFA. The LFA is powered by a 4.8-liter V10 with 553 horsepower, making the car capable of a 0-60 time of 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 202 mph. |
 | When new, the sticker price of the LFA was an astronomical $375,000, or $55,000 more than the Ferrari 599. People thought this was an insane amount, but Lexus soon sold all of the 500 cars and then ceased production. A collector star was born. |  |
 | The LFA has emerged as seriously collectible, perhaps the successor to the most cherished of Japanese collector cars, the Toyota 2000GT. LFAs are starting to cross the auction block. RM Sotheby’s recently sold one at its London auction for more than $404,000 and earlier this year, another sold at Mecum’s Monterey auction for $357,500. |
