Next interesting detail

Asymmetry, the door pull on the passenger side is designed to carry over from the passenger grab handle on the right side of the center console

The door pull for the driver is a more conventional recess

So its been confirmed that Lexus targeted the 650i, I hope Lexus priced it accordingly.

My gawd, this thing is absolutely amazing. IMO, the real life picture looks much better than the CGI enhanced ones. Great job!

I'm very surprised it has the same engine and output as the RCF. An engineer told me it would be a turbo V8 making 600 horses. I guess he was wrong.

There's obviously more to come. I think its clear Lexus is dead serious about bringing the heat. Hopefully we'll have a clearer picture in 2017.

I do not like the front end of the vehicle but the rear and sides look good. Side reminds me of Aston Martin.

Was hoping there were no rear seats.

The interior is pretty good. Good design with some excellent details. There are some questionable things such as the gauge cluster and the ***** which are weird. There appears to be a speaker built into the steering wheel center which is neat.

It's kind of cool to see Lexus do a new type of shift lever.

I really like the LC500 dead center in the rear.

This "does" look like a $100,000 car so I hope Lexus prices it as such.

I can't believe it's a 2018 model.

And I meant LC is on whole another level of design scale. Im sorry my post wasnt clear enough. LC did not just moved the bar it took it and threw it away.
