Apparently you can't, is a "lease" only deal for two years!

As I understand it this is to stop speculators turning a quick profit ... though I'm not sure there's too many of them around at the moment for a £340k vehicle ....

I saw the cladded up/disguised version at Goodwood FOS, it looks very angular from certain angles & the triple triangle zorst was very unusual. It was being pushed,so didn't get chance to hear the engine. That price begs believe, you must have to be a complete Toyota nut to want to buy one!

I've got an SC430 and love the car. Would love an LFA... but unfortunately it wouldn't be first on the list.. and would take a big lottery win for it ever to happen. so basically, it won't :(

tbh- I was never a fan of Hondas was I grew up ( except for their rider lawn-movers ) and thus and maybe sadly did not buy my NSX because it was a Honda. I bought it because I heard it was an amazing car for it's era.

I think, and hope the same sort of reasoning will hold true for efforts like the LFA



My camera phone is crap! ...

The sound it makes is supposed to be in the top % of anything you will ever hear on the road...


On a more positive thought with regards to potential ownership.

They are $375K in the US which is around £200K... so if the market hates them, then there is a chance I can pick on up for £90K in 10 years time? Very Doubtful, but if so. I may actually own one, one day. ;) and I'll only be 52 years old....

... as it only today that Pistonheads have noted the LFA arriving in London ... a whole 5 days after your eagle eye!!

I note in the article that its ony the USA that will lease them, in Europe they will be sold outright.
