It's obviously the repainted one. I see the same color calipers on the brakes as before (the deep gray). The winglets look the same, no screws just little 'lines' I think they updated that back on the previous repaints. The orange looks the same as the Nurburgring edition. They should have just added the wing, the wheels the front pieces and said it was! I'd be interested to see that car in the flesh!
Pearl Grey vs Orange prototype

Those aren't the same as when the prototype was first shown, they have changed it like I said. those aren't as noticeable as the first time around, i didn't mean they didn't have screws at all though, just not the big ones that were on it when it was white.

This specific prototype (orange/grey/white/matte black) has always had the same type of screwed on winglets.

No, I did mean the current orange one, which was the white/matte black/gray one. From the first pics of the orange paint, the screws dont look as noticeable as they were when it was in matte black. the little 'strakes' or 'lines' like i call them are still there but it looks like the screws aren't as big, just from what i see on it though. But I guess we all know it's the same LFA.

So sad to see the "Smoky Granite Mica" be changed so quickly to "ORANGE"
See this thread...
Transforming the LFA Supercar for SEMA 2010 (from Pearl White to Smoky Granite Mica)
If you pay close attention to the photo's, you will know that parking lot...
Lexus USA sent the LFA once again to L.A. based B.A.D. Company, to repaint it Orange...
Just like they did for the other 2 paint jobs they have done on this very same LFA already...
It's really not a big secret, so I am not too sure why it can't be said...

So I finally got to see the car up close tonight and it looks pretty sick. I'll post some of my horrible low light pics tonight as the free wifi here at the hotel is slow. The LFA is being moved from the MGM Grand to Cobo Center. The car will be on display just in time for the opening of press day.

Every Lexus owner should feel proud now for owning a Lexus, because the LFA exists, and some future Lexus models will see some of the LFA's technologies filter down.

I didn't think I could afford an IS F when it first came out, but with some hard work and determination, I made it happen. The LFA of course is out of my league, but sky is the limit!
