There is no rationality to this. Supercar purchases are 100% emotional. Hypercar purchases are even more removed from reality. The people that buy these cars hardly ever drive them. When they do, its following the speed limits to a cars and coffee or something. These are wealth trophies for flexing and nothing else.

Everyone in here is saying something about performance figures, which is nonsense.

its more along the lines of the car being an outlier branding wise. All these rich cunts want trophies to show off their wealth. Ferrari, Porsche, and Lambo have established themselves as the three certified rich trophies. A few others have crept in, like Pagani.

The LFA required a ton of explanation to justify. You cant roll up in one and have the same instant reaction you get in a Ferrari. Your rich friends are going to rip on you for buying a Lexus over a Ferrari. No one in this level of wealth has the driving skills or the motivation to actually extract performance out of these cars.

The LFA is a cool car now because its in the second hand market. Actual enthusiasts bought them used. Top Gear and a bunch of other enthusiast shows raved about them. Prices are up because rich people are hoarding them again because and the need for explanation is dissipating. There is also this trend for nostalgia and “something different” among the rich folks. The LFA checks those boxes as well. There is a tone of “oh its just another Ferrari” type of thing going on.
