Exclamation

Sorry my friend this is Neither...

#006 has a Sharkfin Antenna.......

This has to be some prototype video from some where, that just popped up on Youtube.

or

Maybe a new delivery to Canada.. But I doubt that too, as this looks like some sort of studio for photos.

False Advertising in your thread title.. LoL

Thanks Joe. I thought it was the OKC LFA. I will correct the title.

^^ LoL no problem at all...

So another Video popped up from the same location... This time with more people and cameras..

I am pretty sure it's some where in Canada, as both Youtube uploads have Canada as their Country..

Both loaded between 2/3 & 2/4

See same ladder in the Video and same person revving it up...

That's a tough call ....

Per the Youtube Q & A :

"It was at the Lexus/Toyota head office in Toronto"

I'm sure we will find out soon enough..

That is what my suspicions were. My curiosity is if it is being delivered in Toronto or could it be the white prototype Lexus LFA with exposed carbon fiber going around the world (ofcourse, the exposed carbon fiber could have been painted).

Confirmed per the Youtube Q & A:

"Prototype in between autoshows at Toyota Canada headquarters.

Hopefully I'll get to see one out in the wild one day. Only 10 coming to Canada"



So looks like another Prototype unit made it to this side of the Globe..

OK, this is interesting. If this were true then I should get an invite to see it up close real soon, or possibly test drive it . I've got to find out. Stay tuned...

Yeah, then it is the white prototype with the exposed carbon fiber, but they painted the carbon fiber white now.

Indeed.. Very interesting...


Was "Exposed" Carbon Fiber on the Roof or Wing ever optioned to the end buyer?

or was it just done for viewing on the prototype ?

No the exposed CF was not an option. However, I would love to have it too.

Maybe if you ask nicely they'd leave it? I wonder. I'd like to see a bare carbon LFA, that'd be so sweet.
