Orange Color Goes Faster?
For Lexus it seems, yes...
Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition Laps Nordschleife in 7:14 | The Lexus Enthusiast

Maybe if they sell more cars in that color as opposed to Beige they may suck less...

Handling for cars with engine in the right place must be foreign to their testers....

I think this could just be a tire upgrade though....maybe the Ring edition LFA comes with those Pilot Sport Cup again like the 2012 Z06....which I think went 20 sec faster with those...

If I'm not mistaken, McLaren's team color is orange.

So there you go, its an incredibly fast color.
