I doubt it. A motor powerful enough to open a door must be too heavy for a true sports car.

Take a close look at the area around the rear edge of the door and below the rear edge of the door window. See that the cutlines don't align? That makes me theorize that the latter line might be the rear edge of the door handle instead. If my theory is correct, the door handle would thus be on the shoulder line between the lower edge of the door glass and the sculpture line an inch or two below, in a manner reminiscent of the C3 Chevy Corvette. Or, perhaps, between those two lines is an indented groove/channel where you could stick your fingers in and push in on a recessed door handle and open the door...

It may be a repost but I sure love staring at the LF A...

Here is a 15 second video of the LF-A fully exposed. Man it looks good

Wow, with the headlights exposed, that looks very aggressive and angry, even with a white exterior. Black exterior will be even more bad-***.
Engine is sounding really epic, compared to recent 458 videos from Ferrari, I can definitely say the LF A has the more menacing engine sound.
Shame the video is so shaky and blurry, you cannot make out how the rear tails look like, and the LF A flies by so quick it makes it even more tough to get a glimpse of the tails.
If I was standing at that vantage point where the video was shot, it would be menacing seeing and hearing the LF A coming towards me.

Yes, it pretty much is confirmed. All that's left is the official date and time of unveiling from Toyota. I think this tweet is directly related to that mysterious video of someone driving a production LF A on the 'Ring, which was posted a few days ago and is now removed
