B.L.Z.BUB Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) Damn thats a fine looking car. The 2+2 features a host of dramatic details. Most obvious is the targa-style glass roof, which combines with a long bonnet and chunky A-pillars. At the front is an even more aggressive version of Lexus' latest family nose – first shown on the LF-Gh concept, which previewed the new GS. But the LF-LC features an even more prominent grille, as well as striking triple LED headlights and a pair of huge intakes that feed air to the brakes. At the back it takes its inspiration from Lexus' LFA supercar, with a pert tail, LED rear lights and more air vents. Inspiration for the tunnel-like rear lights is said to come from the afterburners of a F-22 jet fighter. The cabin is full of flowing shapes covered in purple, quilted leather and wood veneer. Emphasising the luxury feel are the leather-trimmed instrument binnacle, chunky multifunction steering wheel and sporty leather seats. The LF-LC is stuffed with technology too, including two 12.3-inch LCD screens, one that functions as the instrument panel and another sitting on top of the dash. There's a control panel below - a bit like an angled iPad - which allows the driver to execute more complicated commands. Instead of toggles to control the windows and mirrors there's touch pads on the door panels. There's no official word on the engine yet, only that it's a next-generation hybrid powertrain, with over 500bhp, and power i sent to the rear wheels.

7shades Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 I really like this thing, other than the grille. Loving the side profile and Ferrari-esque rear 1/4, and tapered rear screen. Looks svelte, yet muscular. There's a few 'chops getting around with a more conventional front and headlights, and it looks gooooood. I can haz new Supra plz? As much as I hate to admit it, Calty design studios in the US have come up with some seriously good designs. (FJ Cruiser excepted... that thing is all manner of f*ckugly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
