Thanks for mentioning the yellow car.

The pics can be seen here

At the Autohahn event, the Lexus representative I was working with mentioned they expected to get another prototype for US use and that it was going to be yellow so the car in the pictures could be heading this way.

They yellow is interesting.

I think it would look better devoid of chrome accents...

I like the yellow...

The only other Solar Yellow Lexus (code 576) was the IS300 from 2001 to 2003.

Some nice Black Pearl emblems would do the trick..

(prototype test mules for media & press events)

Final Production LFA will yield Final Official dyno numbers, Final Official ring times and every other official spec & detail..
(unless Lexus Japan decides otherwise, to leak it out beforehand)

Just like the IS-F...

Anyone notice the 'winglets' on the back in the yellow car pics? Remember how they used to have 'stalks' to support them, not so on this car. Before the stalks, there were screws, this looks flawless and super clean, anyone else notice that?

The PS also mentioned that to me at the Autobahn event, but Lexus reps I've since talked to have backed off that statement. Nevertheless, I do hope that this model heads to the US and we can start talking about driving opportunities for LFA buyers. The LFA certainly looks great in Pearl Yellow.

your hope is getting a bit closer to reality
