Yeah that crunch was cringe-worthy...considering how low to the ground the LFA is, they should be more careful.

That's the same White LFA w/Red interior we all saw in Miami a few weeks ago. That car belongs to Europe. There are 2 other running LFA's, the Flat Black which is here in SoCal and was seen recently at Cars & Coffee in Irvine, and the other is the White LFA w/the unpainted carbon roof which is in Japan.

Ah yes, the black roof = the model which debuted at the Tokyo Auto Show. Good eye!

There were two black ones at the nurburgring test track no?

There might be at least one more... so 4 rather than 3?

The only other black LFA that I know of is that black camo prototype which from my understanding is in Japan.

There are only 3 close to production cars running in the world today which would be the two white and one flat black.

In this video, you see two white ones in, neither of which are the carbon roofed one in japan.

Autocar Review @ nurburgring

And in this you will see two Black prototypes (admittedly one has camo on it, but the lines are pretty much identical).

Inside Line First drive @ nurburgring

Not to be argumentative... but I'd say there are 4/5 close to production prototypes out there. Reason why I'm really convinced? The indicator lights on the bumper. Some seem to be raised, on others they seem to be flushed. I'm absolutely Positive that I've seen both black and white prototypes with both types of indicators.

Just saying......


Anyway, anybody knows when the Guys at Top Gear, Best Motoring and AMuS will get their hands on one?

You know more than me. My info is direct from Lexus.

The front markers are different for the other world markets. We in North America get the flat ones and Europe gets the cooler pushed out type:

hey flipside, where can i find the gallery for the pics you just posted? those are some pretty specific shots, i wonder what else you have.

**edit** and do you know the purpose of having the pushed-out sidemarkers?

I'll have my whole gallery up soon. I'm still wrapping up some details of my write up of my LFA drive experience in Miami.
