VIDEO: Lexus LF-LC Concept
Today Lexus unveiled its LF-LC concept at the Detroit Auto Show.
The dynamic cabin lines are carried through to the rear deck, sculpturally integrating the spindle grille theme to echo the front of the vehicle while creating a unique sense of width. The tail lamps, inspired by the look of a jet afterburner at take-off, use inner lighting to create a remarkable sense of depth. The rear is also fitted with fog lamps, repeating the fading dot matrix pattern of the front fog lamps. Visually, the integrated tail and fog lamps repeat the “L” shape and lead the viewer’s eye down to the powerful Lexus quad exhaust.
The interior of the LF-LC concept vehicle contrasts the cool ambience of advanced technology with soft textures and organic shapes to create a driver-focused synergy of form and function. The cockpit expresses a feeling of both openness and security. The driver is enveloped by deeply scooped side panels and a high, curved console. The effect is to focus the driver zone on the controls and on the road.
Lexus still won’t say what’s hiding under the LF-LC’s long hood, I think we will know it tommorow.
According to the Lexus press release, it was penned at the company’s Calty studio in Newport Beach, California and it’s supposed to preview the next evolution of Lexus’ design language – and that’s about all we get for now.
