Default yellow spotted at Nisei week showoff car show today in Los Angeles.

It is cool that it is parked next to a 2000GT! The 2 exotic cars Toyota built so far.

It must be privately owned.

Found more pics of that LFA, you are correct, it is a corporate car. It got a Lexus manufacturer's plate on it. And it got VIP autosalon sticker all over it.

The above pic is bad, the color is straight yellow, zero neon or green at all. Can you edit the title of this thread to say yellow only? Or delete the thread all together as I am sure it is a LFA people have all seen already. I thought it was a new neon green car

Is this yellow car the same car as the black car from VIP Autosalon?

They got the same wheels, same black interior, same manufacturer's plate (although I am pretty sure all plate from Lexus got the same #), both are handle by VIP Autosalon. But looks like the yellow car got black calipers and the black car got red calipers.

manufacturer plate is the same for all lexus i believe.

you are right, the car can be wrapped, but i don't think the caliper color can be changed easily. like i said a few weeks ago a yellow lfa from corporate was in PA area at the track demoing to some prospective buyers i think. and i think around the same time lexus also had the black #032 here in ca.

i am not surprised if lexus usa now has the #032 and also the yellow prototype p014. keep in mind, in nov time frame they are going to have the lfa driving school again. they need to have more than 1 lfa there (or so i hope)

The P014 prototype has no green in its color. Apparently, this one above has some green in it (atleast what the OP said) so I don't think it is the P014.

We've seen lots of bad photos of P014 turn up with the greenish hue.

Maybe there is a hair of greenish hue in the color of the P014 and it comes out in certain photo?

i would never just trust what i see in pictures alone, considering what lighting can do. my friends on fb posted more pictures, i am not sharing them here (not my property) but in those, the color looks quite similar to the prototype one
