A red one in Japan- silver finish wheels, looks like black calipers, red and black interior from what I can tell. LHD.

Silver looks amazing in that video.
Why was the spoiler not deployed initially since the freeway cruising speed must be over 50 mph??

Both have two things in common. Both are very old and both are prototypes.
The first one was the early video of the US prototype that is pearl grey now and has 12,000 miles on it.
The second one was the first Nurburgring edition prototype that was crashed by LFA's chief testing engineer Hiromu Naruse as he was testing it in Germany. That was all over the news about 8 months ago.

It's probably pulling more G's as well. I do remember you saying it was off. If it's similar to this case the LFA could be achieving better speeds than what the videos let off. I wouldn't be surprised. It doesn't even look like he's pushing the LFA to the limit, maybe 90%, but I still think it has some give in it.

I would tend to believe it is the LFA speedometer that reads optimistically, which falls in line with just about every other car where manufacturers built a safety net at high speeds.
Video vbox receives all the speed information from satellite so it is probably more accurate than LFA's speedo. If VBOX reads speed inaccurately, it defeats the whole purpose of their business model.

The other (and bigger reason) is that car manufacturers consistently understate speed at the speedometer. Using various satellite-based telemetry recorders I've found Japanese cars tend to be about 1-2mph at the speedo at highway speeds, including my IS F. German cars are notorious for overstating speed; I've read this is due to EU regulations that penalize for inaccurate understating (but not overstating) of speed resulting in many European manufacturers making sure they have a wide buffer on the over. My friend found his 335i to be a shocking 3-4mph overstated at highway speeds, i.e., his speedo would read 63-64 when in fact only going 60. Many of the users at some of our neighbor BMW forums complain about this a lot.
