    A family friend said that when he flew into Tokyo they were unloading 3 white enzos off a plane. Anyone have any more info or pix?

    Wow. I know white is popular in Japan (their racing color, eh?), but that's really surprising. Would be a sight, that's for sure.

    Perhaps it's the plastic lining that they wrap the cars in when they ship them?

    Great pics Fan! That's the first white NNO I've seen so far and has now become my favorite color by a long shot. I think maybe it's because the white hides some of the unusual angles of the design. Either way it looks rather nice. :)

    Actually more 'status' is conveyed by LHD as well. Some of my Japanese friends would prefer to buy LHD if available in MB, Porsche, Ferrari, etc. Prob a PITA to drive, but that's what people want.

    It could be on the way to other Asian country, too, like Hong Kong, Taiwan, etc.

    Some of my friends there told me that they see more Ferrari & Lambo in Tokyo highway & downtowns like Ginza, Roppongi, Shinjuku, compared w/ few years ago. In January, I saw few 360 & Gallardo there in suburb of Tokyo. Based on the Japanese sales site of exotics I visit, most cars are moving quickly as I hardly see the same car on the site for more than 2 months. This wasn't so in 2002 & 2003 when I was talking of importing w/ some investors.

    For Ferrari & Lambo, LHD cost less & waiting period is shorter than RHD. That's what I was told by one of exotic car salesman. This may affect some outcome. Personally I wouldn't drive LHD car there as it is too much hustle to get in a parking lot, tollway (all major highways are toll) to pay or get a ticket.

    Why my sister is in the pic? That is off-limit area for cameras!

    JohnT, how do you locate these pics? I am just amazed how some of you browse through foreign language site to pull off some pics.

    Apparently the guy who posted these pics are working at the airport terminal, and these cars were delivered to F dealers in Japan. As JohnT said, it is just wrapped in covers, but you can peek the color of each cars between wraps.
