Fantastic vid, thanks for sharing! And I agree, it's really nice to see the car in a new color - I'm guessing this is the Pearl Red? I can't wait until we start seeing some of the other standard colors, and then of course the "special" colors later on. I never liked the LFA much in the white iteration (although I've never seen it in person), and I'm not a fan of matte black in general, although the matte black LFA looked much better in person than in pictures.

I actually really like this red despite not generally being a fan of red on cars. It has pleasant resemblance to Rosso Corsa while being a bit more bold, which I like.

Nice vid!! I wonder how many 'pre-production production models' they are making.

LF-A looks good in red, it is nice to see another color too.

Here are some pics I took at the ATL auto show last week.

The red looks good and I love the matte black, but it's very difficult to maintain. I considered it for one of my cars, but Lamborghini makes you sign a special agreement when buying a matte finish.

That Ring package is seriously nice to look at. And Im liking the red a LOT more than the white or the flat black.

Wow, that looks very nice in red .

I have to say it looks even more exotic in that red.

I would think as many as they need . Money is not a factor for Toyota in this project. I think they will make as many pre-production prototypes as they need to in order to make the production cars as close to perfection as possible.

I'm more curious as to what they will do with them after production starts. Museums, race cars, the crusher??!?! the Crusher would be absurd if these cars really cost to build what Toyota says they do.
