In a city full of exotics, someone took pictures of the LFA. I think I read somewhere there is only 1 LFA in Hong Kong

Very nice pictures. I love this bright white color so much more than the other off-colored white.

There was a pic of an HK LFA posted in the pictures thread back in July: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/6563757-post298.html

It seems to be the same one - as I noted in that thread, it is not a Config III, which surprisingly (at least to me) is a rarity among the LFAs we have seen. Nice to see it out and about again.

No Enform/Safety Connect. Config III is distinguishable by the shark fin antenna, which Configs I/II do not have.

Does that add weight by having the config 3? Isn't there an option to delete the stereo/infotainment?
