Default Lexus LFA P014 with over 40k hard miles

It's no secret that the yellow Lexus LFA P014 has gone through a lot of hard miles. Well, how about more than 40k miles? All without any major repair and only regular maintenance?

We just received this snapshot of the odometer on the car. Thank you J. Lee of Lexus Corp for sharing.

What a story

Cost to own is second to none for any Lexus!

This prototype was wrapped and displayed at SEMA 2013... spotted in the back outdoor walkspace between the North and South halls.

I wonder if all of the launch controls have been maxed out? (I believe 255 is the max number).

It could be but transmission could have been replaced to add another 200+ launches!

Feels like just yesterday I rode in that car when it was white and Scott Pruett was behind the wheel at New Jersey motorsports park...Think it had about 6,000 miles back then. Still brings a rush when I think about it now. Amazing car, check out anything else in its class at that mileage (and compare service bills).

That was a different prototype. It started out as a matte black and then was painted white. It was wrapped in orange a few times as well. It was sent back to Japan.

This yellow prototype P014 was always yellow and was freshly imported when "Battle of the super cars" was filmed back in August, 2010.
