Lexus LFA Mule spotted. Next SC?
#92
that's what I was getting at. I mean it might be another vehicle testing in just an LFA shell, but my opinion, i think it is an LFA. I can't say why there's no radiator fans in the rear, but to test another car with a body shell of an LFA? Of all cars for toyota to use to test a sports car, I guess the LFA would be the best or the only option. But why so soon when the LFA's slated release isn't until 2011? That's one of the main things I take into consideration in my opinions as to what this car is.
I was doing some research and there was another video on youtube showing the LFA in someone's mirror on the highway. here- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tw4sm0akodI
And this is the second video of the same guy who filmed the LFA(?) in question, but be warned it's really loud thanks to the wind in his Mic, here- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maLCcPfoV4A
My point is, these look to be the same car. The white colored mirrors, the pre-production body-work. Thing is, the first video I posted you can hear the LFA even if it's not loud. So i assume the 2nd video is the same car, an LFA testing.

If I was part of Toyota's testing operations, then I could not think of a better way to fool people and throw them off than by testing an unspecified future model using the exterior prototype shell of an LFA.
We don't know 100% either way, but the distinct lack of rear radiators and accompanying fans are a big hint this is very likely not an LFA.

after listening to the lfa leaving and entering car and coffee, i can assure you if you want the car to be quiet, it can be quiet
the video didn't even show what the exhaust tone is at all. if the driver quickly shift it up to higher gears, yeah right, good luck getting tone from the exhaust

Not likely. See the circular port behind the window? That's where it is fueled.

Yeah, like an IS-F coupe, a new SC coupe, I remember a few years back there was a lexus GS looking model with only 2 doors testing on the Nurburgring. Anyone remember that? It was black and looked like a previous generation GS coupe?
