We've heard a few figures bandied about since the Lexus LFA was introduced, but now the official price tag for the U.S.-boundsupercar has been announced. Base price: $375,000. And that's notincluding the unspecified destination and handling fees.
That MSRP has the potential to swell when you start adding the options,but for the 552-horsepower supercoupe's discerning clientele, it won'tmatter. In stock form (Configuration 1) buyers have the option to coattheir thrones in either leather or Alcantara, with Configuration 2bringing navigation and the stellar Mark Levinson surround-soundsystem. Option up for Configuration 3 and all the aforementionedgoodies are yours, along with theLexus Enform system with Safety Connect.
Of the 500 LFAs set to go into production this December, less than halfare slated to make their way to the States when deliveries begin inJanuary, and even if you've got a cool $400k burning a hole in yourpocket, you can't buy the LFA outright. To thwart speculators, Lexus isonly making the LFA available on a two-year lease with a firm intent topurchase. If you've got the means, make the jump for the officialdetails.
Configuration 1 – Leather or Alcantara®-trimmed seats.
Configuration 2 – Leather or Alcantara-trimmed seats, Lexus Navigation System and Mark Levinson Premium Surround Sound system.
Configuration3 – Leather or Alcantara-trimmed seats, Lexus Navigation System, MarkLevinson Premium Surround Sound system, and Lexus Enform™ with SafetyConnect™.
