Default The long wait is finally over! LFA in undisguised production form!

Found a video from a guy who was there at the press-event a few weeks back and obviously broke the media embargo on the Lexus LFA (mark the missing -)...undisguised and full interior view!

Enjoy http://www.vimeo.com/7166891

And then I jizzed.. in.. my pants.

The exterior is nothing new and totally expected. The headlamps kind of weird me out from a front on view (they look like a happy anime cartoon ^.^ ) and the rear is nice but I still pine for the LF-A II rear. But DAMN Lexus NAILED the interior. WOW. Freaking gorgeous!!! And the sound. And the speed. First impressions: I love it. You could tie a video of a monkey scratching its butt to the sounds of that glorious V10 and I would still love it. But this LFA is very exciting.

I hope that matte black color is going to be a factory color. That would be SWEET.

I remember the vdo from few months/years back of the prototype testing at Nurburgring and got chills and goose bumps...the most true F1 to Street sound conversion ever...

The exterior is great but, i think i need to get used to it...its too complicated...The interior is just darn incredible...holy hell...is the dashboard all LCD???!!!

I'd hit it

WOW thanks for the link, this is awesome!!!!! great to see the interior, it looks pretty nice, a lot of cf. the location of nav looks a bit funny, maybe just the angle. i love the cluster, looks so cool the way it does all the display!!!

exterior is pretty much the same as what most of the spy pics have shown, very nice. hearing the soundtrack that's some very fast and aggressive shifting

i see complete carbon brakes up front too, another awesome thing!

Great find.

So far I like the looks, not head over heels so far but the interior is just and the way you can control the Odometer screen is incredible.

It sounds GLORIOUS!!!!
