Chassis no. JTHHX8BHXC1000052; Engine no. 1LR0001556. Metallic Silver over red leather. 4805/553hp, Michelin Pilot Sport tires, original car cover, Tumi luggage.

Evaluation: Some fine chips and nicks all across the front bumper, and the driver’s seat has some nicks in the leather at the leading edge of the seat. Otherwise a like-new, 3850-mile LFA, one of 500 total built and represented as one of just 26 finished in this color.

Bottom Line: Somewhat overshadowed by the record-breaking $1.6M LFA Nürburgring edition that RM sold the following day, this base car nevertheless brought a massive price which further confirms that these highly engineered V-10 carbon fiber flagships are on collectors’ radar. The LFA’s MSRP was $376,000, but over the past 12 months or so prices have soared.
