Default Screaming Green Lexus LFA likely To Split Opinions.

*** Merged with LFA forum thread ***



The fabulously wealthy face all sorts of dilemmas that the rest of us never have to bother with. If you can afford a Lexus LFA, for example, what color do you opt for? Red is clearly for the Ferrari in your stable. Black belongs on your hearse, and... copper? Well, that's best left for your LX570. What you want is something that makes a statement. A color that kicks puppies and steals candy from kids on Halloween. Green. You want the kind of green that will make Lamborghini Gallardo owners look tasteful by comparison.

That's exactly what the buyer of LFA number 250 went with. We aren't entirely sure what the color is called, but our retinas won't be the same for a week. The hue is almost a more violent version of the Emerald Green found on early '70s Porsche 911 models. The paint might not look quite as at home as it does on vintage Porsche sheetmetal, but we still love it (something tells tells us there will be plenty of you who fall on the other side of the fence). What do you think? Have your say in Comments.



Sorry if this is a repost..

Man, I hate this color.

BTW, I will move this to LFA forum and some mod from LFA can merge it with another tread. Thanks.

I think that any color goes fine with any exotic car. Just like a classi/sofisticated lady. NO matter what they wear, they will always look beatiful.

How much is this Lexus? For that much cash, I wear my cool and stick to a LAMBO!!!

You can't really tell the real shade of the color, needs to have better resolution pictures. Or see it in real life, which is much harder! I think it'd look fantastic, though not really digging the yellow brake calipers or the interior choice.

Pretty interesting color. Although I would like it on a Porsche GT3RS. . I would love to see a matte Suzuka grey color for the LFA. It's an Audi exclusive color on their Audi R8 GT which looks stunning!
