Is Toyota gonna be stupid and only make a handful of them while putting them onto leases again?

A bit further on in the same paragraph in Wikipedia...
Quote:
Lexus later changed their stance and allowed outright purchase, but only on the condition that they sign an agreement giving the dealer the first right of refusal to buy back the LFA if the owner wanted to sell it within the first two years. The dealer would have the option to buy back the used LFA for either fair market value or the original sticker price, whichever is lower.[44] In the European market, buyers could order their LFA through a single Lexus dealer located in Park Lane, London where it was purchased outright.

So maybe Toyota has learned from lessons past?

It's a shame the LFA is going to be an EV. I get it, Toyota needs a halo EV car but it's a shame that body is an EV.

It's Toyota, hopefully they're going to be super conservative to avoid the engine blowing up. The hood is super long because it's FM - front midships - they've pushed the engine behind the front axle.
