While there are certainly supercars that cost a lot more than the Lexus LFA, they are all a hell of a lot quicker than it because after all, the Lexus LFA is on a similar performance level to the Ferrari 458 Italia yet costs significantly more.
Just how much more? Well, in Australia you could pick up two Ferrari 458 Italias for the price of a used Lexus LFA. The following black Lexus LFA is the only LFA currently for sale in Australia and is one of just ten to ever make it to the land Down Under and is currently for sale at the Lamborghini dealership in Queensland.
