Production is lifted compared to prototype?

Looking at some old threads, saw some pics, that took my eye. Is it just me, or it stands much lower then production version of IS-F?

The first prototype was all hand built. Surprisingly, Lexus still kept it lower than I would have ever imagined. This is the case with all hand builts.

People everywhere should be glad, really... here in Vegas we have great highways and generally great streets, but I must say they put speed bumps in the stupidest places.
