Ladies and gentleman, this year’s EyesOn Design Awards for Best Designed Interior and Production Car go to… the 2017 Lexus LC 500!

Well, that didn’t take long. The 2018 Lexus LC 500 debuted at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this week and people have already started rendering what-if? versions of it.

Lexus is beating Mercedes-Benz in sales, and cars like the new LC 500 are exactly the reason why.

As you better know already, Lexus triumphantly debuted the LC 500 this week at the Detroit auto show. What you probably don’t know is that while the car represents the very pinnacle of Japanese design (and auto design for that matter), it may also employ some Egyptian styling cues.

Here’s some enticing footage of the 2018 Lexus LC 500 from the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit. From all angles, too – from its 3D mesh grille to its triple LED headlamps to its strikingly angular rear to its LFA-influenced interior featuring Takumi craftsmanship.

The Lexus LC 500 at this year’s North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) is no longer a concept itself, but the Michelin Pilot Super Sport ZP rubber the show car is wearing is.

Off the heels of Lexus debuting the new LC 500 at this year’s Detroit auto show, rendering artists are already designing faster and more racecar-inspired versions of the new super coupe.
