Upcoming SportAuto Lexus LFA super test (June - July)
News is, LFA will be re-tested soon around Nurburgring by SportAuto.
The video of white Lexus LFA blasting around Nurburgring could be the upcoming SportAuto test of Lexus LFA by Horst Von Saurma.
Other cars to be tested soon: Ferrari FF, Lamborghini Avantador, Nissan GTR '12

So is it going to be a production car that they test? If so, from whom do they borrow the car? I for one wouldn't want to lend my own car for such risky at-the-limit testing. There are only 500 copies after all. That said, hopefully it is going to be a proper production car and hopefully it will fare better than the prototype, although I won't be holding my breath much.

Yes, production model. No confirmation yet whether it will be the standard Lexus LFA or the Nurburgring LFA.
It is quite common for owners to lend their cars to journalists, but they receive some sort of compensation in return. For example, the BestMotoring tested Yellow LFA is actually privately owned production Lexus LFA (source: flipside).
Besides, Lexus Europe (the blue one?) might have a press car as well just like US has.
I agree on not holding my breath. It could be better or worse than the prototype. It applies to the 'BestMotoring' battle as well.

They did a supertest for the 2012 Nissan GTR and it turned in only a 1.8 seconds quicker lap time than the 2009 model:

Still some factors skew the results a bit such as, temperatures, wind, tires etc.
