Lexus_EU on twitter just reported they're doing a photoshoot in Japan, giving us this teaser picture:



So, when's this Nürburgring Edition photoshoot going to hit the press?

So Paris Hilton did end up owning a LFA, but it was a gift from her BF, so she didn't buy it herself. She seems happy about it though. I guess whatever the car is, receiving a $400k gift would make most people happy.

Yeah, sometimes it makes me wish I lived in Germany close to the ring.

It might be the angle or lighting but the headlights appear to have a darker "smoked" look to them. Can't wait for the detailed specs.

That's what I was going to say! They look like 'smoked' headlights. Probably just the angle though. I do wish they'd 'clear' the side markers though, give it a more euro look. Stupid orange lights look tacky to me. But man that Nurb edition looks good. The orange looks pretty deep. Can't wait to see more!

I usually just check the thread I posted on before when it shows up in my email, so I don't venture out on the forum much. I am sure is been posted already, sorry about that.

Headlights look dark compared to the chrome lens we have seen before.

Wonder why orange?

Yes, exactly. That is the first thing I thought. I think orange color is great and associated with extreme track-oriented supercars.

A question to any LFA buyers, can't remember if this has been asked before.

Does anyone know if the "beep" sound that is made when hitting redline while driving can be disabled at all?

It's a Japanese car, so I doubt it. Of course, I can always ask.
