How did the folks on that website find this first?

I emailed my product specialist to see what is up with the Recaros.

I would think the car is destined for the US based on the Shark Fin.

One of my interior configuration ideas includes blue carpet and this car provided a good sense of how that looks.

Thanks for the links. I assume this is the Pearl Blue color, which was my preference based on the configurator so I'm really glad to see it on a production model. It definitely looks good.

Absolutely gorgeous ! I don't know if I like it more in black, red, or blue. It looks awesome in all colors really.

I wonder if this was another press event ?

Am I the only one that noticed the IS-F CCS in the background in the second video ?

The red is awesome, but the blue looks great as well . Tough choice for anyone with an LFA allocation.

Also, notice the blue one has a different wheel finish. I prefer the darker wheel finish we've seen on LFAs so far.

That blue is the bomb. It makes the front end look way better.
It feels less exotic though. Mostother exotics seem to be red, silver or yellow....with a few black.

I believe the wheels on the blue one are the non painted ones that cost $2500 extra. The gray (ISF look) and black painted wheels are no extra charge options.

Yeah, it's the cat's ****. Really beautiful. And no, you weren't the only one to notice the CCS. LOL. I've been hunting for videos of it since yesterday, hoping that they took it out to lap too.

The LF-A is looking good in all the released and spotted colors, it comes down IMO as it is really a great looking car! Some cars only look good in some colors and not others, maybe the LF-A might be the exception by looking good in all colors offered.

My favorte LFA color is still white, but the blue above looks great too, the worst color I've seen is matte black ...

The Recaros are not coming to the
US as they can not accomodate
the airbag containing seat belts
we are getting.

I'd like to see it in standard (not matte) black before making a decision. I also think Pearl White (which I'd imagine is similar to Starfire Pearl) will be a nicer color than the current white, which is probably the 'Whitest White' on the configurator. In any case, the Pearl Blue may just be a winner.

Same.

Can't get it without the airbag seatbelts? I'd hardly think that it was a standard requirement.......

I wonder if Aaron Kwok ordered one ? He seem to collect every exotic car he can get his hands on
