Although the value of the Lexus LFA has gone up by six figures in less than 12 months, they didn’t sell well when they were new. So much so that in 2019, seven years after the end of the car’s production, US Lexus dealers sold three leftover brand new LFAs. But things have changed a lot since then. Suddenly everyone is figuring out what sensational cars they are, but it’s taken the passage of a decade or so for that to happen. Part of the problem is how damn expensive they were when they were new. $375,000. Or, more than a Ferrari 599 or twice as much as a Mercedes SLS AMG or Porsche Turbo S. And four times as much as a Nissan GT-R, all of which offered similar performance. Nowadays, none of these cars costs more than its original MSRP, except the LFA. It costs twice its original MSRP. It was an outlier then, but it’s even more of an outlier now. In this video, Derek Tam-Scott investigates why this is the case. Not just by taking a brief look into the car’s development, but also by making a lot of noise with the motor. Make sure you listen with your good speakers. BTS (behind the scenes) with DTS: Derek Tam-Scott’s spirit age is excess of 75 years old, and nowhere is that clearer than his taste in cars. At age 16, he went to work at one of the United States' foremost vintage car dealers, which cemented his elderly taste. Now with a decade and a half’s experience buying, selling, driving, and brokering classic and exotic cars, he’s experienced many of the world’s most iconic cars. And even liked some of them. Most of the car enthusiasts of Derek’s generation (and well, let’s be honest, even a generation or two before him) don’t have much experience with the magic of vintage cars prior to the 1980s, and therefore lack the knowledge and exposure to get genuinely excited about them. The goal of BTS is to give an insider’s perspective on why these cars particularly are great...or at least interesting and noteworthy. Derek brings his encyclopedic knowledge and broad experience together to contextualize these cars to give the audience understanding of both why it matters, and what it’s actually like to experience the cars.
