By my guess in that buyers within the LFA's target market are uber ballers who has multiple supercars and the LFA is just another addition to the collection.

I think I agree, it probably wouldn't be my first choice either but it is a mighty fine car, it just doesn't get the credit it deserves due to the badge. It'd be like BMW asking $375K for a car - as good as it would undoubtedly be, people expect a bull, a horse or something equally esoteric on the hood for that kind of coin...
