I love the idea of an LFA roadster and love the official LFA Roadster concept. I also like that particular pic you posted because it happens to hide the rather ugly roll bar, which sticks out like a basket handle in the other pics such as this one:


Just wish they would've gone the extra mile to make the roll bar curved around the headrests like in most convertibles. Other than that I love it!

A couple of other pics on that site:

^^ NICE...!!!

Also, I'm sure this is NOT a "Production LFA Roadster" ... But more on the "Experimental" side of things..

Carbon fiber rollbar. Wow!! This looks like the real deal.

I still wish the LFA design was closer to the concept

Now the real question is... is it a hard top?

I read that this was just a Toyota special project and a one-off, with no plans to make it.

It might very well be a third party tuning company custom modification.

It's not 3rd party, it's a Toyota one off.

It looks good. This will give those multi LFAs buyers ideas for their collections.
