Default LFA #032 (wrapped Yellow) w/2000GT @ Toyotafest 2011

So here are just a few pics I took of LFA #032 at Toyotafest as a wrapped Yellow car. From far away it looks like Pearl Yellow LFA #P014.


#032 at the Lexus display, Toyotafest 2011:






Warming up the LFA before revving it up for the crowd. Watch the redline slowly climb.




Car is warmed up and 9k rpm redline is ready to go!




Lexus product specialist Eddie revs the LFA for the crowd:

They helped, but Instyle Graphics was responsible for the work.

Its called exposed factory paint. That section wasn't wrapped because the difficulty of applying material on the underside of the winglets. If you have ever had clear bra done on your car, like many of us have on our own Lexus cars, you will know the difficulties of applying material on small rounded edges like that.

That is exactly what I thought, but I did not want to jump to conclusion.

I think it actually looks sick since the black bits compliment the tail lights.

Awesome pictures especially with those vintage Toyotas.

Yeah the wrap job was better than the last wrap job on the first Matte Black/Pearl Gray LFA prototype.

Here's another with the rest of the Lexus SEMA project cars...

Default LFA and S900






Thank you for letting us experience the LFA and the photo opportunity. LFA with a genuine Abflug S900 Wide Body Supra… This design won the Tokyo Auto Salon award back in 2000.

Really... and thank you for sharing your experiences and knowledge with the LFA and your experience with Naruse-san. I later saw your video…truly an honor.
Hirome Naruse was to Toyota as Ayarton Senna was to Brazil... a sad and tragic loss.
