That looks like Pearl Yellow - plus, there aren't any green non-premium colors, so I'm just going to assume it's a Pearl Yellow in odd lighting.

Was this taken recently or is it possibly the prototype?

It is most likely the same #014 yellow prototype we have been used to seeing.

^That's going to be one funny looking car. IMO, bright colors don't pair too well with this car.

They look fine on GT5, I think the light colored wheels aren't going well with a lot of colors, but I see the dark finish wheels going well with a lime green, it'd set it off with the silver brake calipers, maybe black.

I'm thinking the same exact thing!!

The most recent trip for LFA #P014 - Pearl Yellow prototype, was to Texas Motor Speedway - on March 5, 2011 for a Lexus IS Event.

It could have easily swung by the Dallas area that very same weekend, before shipping out to Sonoma, CA

If we could found out when this picture was taken, it will help answer a lot questions quicker..

this picture was taken last sunday night 3/13 in Sfuzzy's in Uptown Dallas. the original picture makes the LFA a lot greener than what i reposted here. but i pm'ed him anyways and will keep everyone posted - it could be yellow with the night time lights making it look greenish for all i know!

Hey Jerry,

Any chance you or your friend may have meant Sunday 3/6 ??

It would be kinda hard for the prototype Pearl Yellow LFA to be in Dallas Sunday Night and back in Sonoma, CA on Monday morning ..

Unless this is a NEW production Pearl Yellow LFA, that just popped up in the Dallas, TX area...

It did not get to Sonoma until Tue noon. I saw it driven into Infineon with my own eyes.
I think Krew confirmed my liking of the color when seen in person.

Yes I agree with you... It got to Sonoma on Tuesday 3/8 and was there for a whole week..

But I was posting about Monday 3/14, since the Op says it was spotted on Sunday 3/13 in Dallas
