At first I was skeptical, then I drove it and my eyes were opened. The Lexus LFA production units have hit U.S. soil, finally. Yes, all of the other cars you've seen until now have been prototype units and not part of the 500 cars to be built globally.
According to Kaizen Factory, the first three LFAs arrived yesterday and are destined for their homes. Interestingly enough, they will be going elsewhere besides California.
One intriguing thing I noticed about the production LFA is that the rear "wings" -- above the taillights -- that had exposed screws are now gone. Can you spot any other last minute design changes that made their way onto the production model?

It’s been 10 years in the making but January 18, 2011 was a momentous day for Lexus. This was the day that the first three (of 500) production LFAs arrived on United States soil. It was just a few weeks ago in Japan that Lexus celebrated a milestone with the first production LFA to roll off the assembly line. It was only a matter of time but now the USA has its first LFA units ready to be delivered to their anxious owners...
