Default Roy Mallady's #003 Lexus LFA in Poland vs 599 GTB shootout (+ LFA#447)

APF Studios that organized the shootout, summarized the experience as:


{Translated from Polish}


We rode for comparison in the 599 Ferrari GTB and [the difference] is for night and day. Easily it seemed LFA, quicker and it always wanted [to be pushed] more. Ride about this beautiful (fine) sound of expiration not alluding already. There is in our opinion Lexus wins.

Default LFA in Poland ...

Fantastic !!


& there were periods of time I don't frequent this forum, but I don't think this LFA #447 delivered in Poland article was posted here before, so I will just put it in this LFA in Poland thread :

Yeah, that looks to me like an American-spec LFA (yet again) imported into Poland by a buyer.

All photos , including the photos of the car in the LFA Works factory do not show American side markers

I think he was referring to the Pearl Red one (#447) in the ceremony in Poland That one has the Euro/Asian side markers that juts out even in the factory photos, and I don't think Lexus Poland is likely to hold a ceremony for the first LFA sold in Poland for the buyer if it's a gray market car imported from some other country anyway.

The 003 LFA looks like it still has the flat American-spec side markers to me even in the video in Poland above, although it's not very clearly shown ......

Your findings are CORRECT...

#447 is indeed a LHD but European spec... With Euro / JDM side markers..

There are plenty of Euro Spec countries that utilize LHD
( like the USA )

#003 did not receive any JDM Marker upgrades. We only worked on #499 for Roy.

Yes, it was a shootout by a Polish magazine. I only got how they summarized their experiences in both cars, which I ran through the translator and put it up in the first post.

They said LFA was quicker, more nimble and wanted always to be pushed harder.
