Chassis no. JTHHX8BH5C1000072; Engine no. 1LR0001576. Absolutely Red over red leather. 4805/553hp, red calipers, Bridgestone Potenza tires.

Evaluation: Represented with 700 miles and looks like a new car on top, but there are some scrapes to the underside. Unusual color combo on an LFA, and you sure better like red.

Bottom Line: Although LFAs have gotten more expensive as modern collectibles, the market for high six-figure Japanese hypercars is thinner than it is for European ones, and even thinner when the colors are just so, well, red. This car fell well short of expectations. In terms of price guide values, in terms of RM’s presale estimate, and surely in terms of what the seller was expecting, especially since the same car sold on Bring a Trailer only last August for $730,000.
