Is this a previously seen prototype or is it one of the hottest builds to date?


Can anyone tell is this has an unpainted roof and wing or are these elements painted black (couldn't tell from the video).

No roof tumor, winglets or headlamp washers result in an ultra clean look.

No LFA badge either (not sure that is a plus).

Cool video. I saw another video of the same LFA a few months back.

Doesn't the carbon fiber roof and wing make it the
Tokyo edition?

I'd love a Nurburgring edition with a similar color scheme. Just make the Calipers black please.

The proto LFA displayed at Tokyo Motor Show in 2009 had the black/unpainted roof and spoiler, so this could be that same proto.

It also had the "LFA" branding on the rear, so either they took that off, or this is a new/different car/prototype
