Color Code = 1G0
It is offically named Pearl Gray on the LFA .... aka Lexus color "Smoky Granite Mica" in the USA market
Also, in other regions 1G0 receives different names by Lexus....
So here are all from different regions:
1G0 = Smoky Granite Mica / Dark Granite / Cadoxton Slate / Graphite Grey Mica / Dark Grey Mica

They are actually called "dihedral synchro-helix" actuation doors. Thank you. 
Hopefully this Five will be better than all the others. I thought all the others sucked.

This is a quick video to describe the unique door system on the Koenigsegg cars. The door system, formally known as the dihedral synchro-helix actuation system, was actually designed by Mr Christian Von Koenigsegg himself I learned when I met him earlier in the year in London. The model of Koenigsegg featured in this video is the most expensive, most powerful and fastest of them all.

Watched the movie last night, it's ludicrous but very entertaining . The best FF movie so far I would say 
However, I still think they picked the wrong color for the LFA in this movie, they should have picked a sharper color like white, yellow or red, which would have made it stand out a lot more, especially given the very limited screen time the LFA has in the movie.
I wonder how many of the average movie audience would even recognize that they just saw the new Lexus super car ........

I agree it should have been a color that popped but unfortunately there were time constraints. The Chameleon LFA (Pearl Gray) was the only car available during the the filming.
