I can live with that. I think it's showing warp speed

I really hope that Lexus has production plans for this car, because letting a concept like this go to waste would be a crime.
I hate to say it, but it's a little more sexier than the LFA
we'll see how it finalizes, hope they don't butcher it

I really like this design. However seeing what they did to the GS versus the GS concept, I can't imagine this bold front end styling will even remotely similar in the production version.

Ohh man! If they really built it like this, 100K price tag seems cheap!

This thing most likely will be a SC600 with the LS600 drivetrain and a $100k price tag.

Probably be a direct competitor to the hybrid NSX.

I think they need to tone down the front end of this concept a bit & it will be a good thing , and I happen to like the 4 GS grill , it's the only part of the car that looks interesting ...

I feel the same way, but then concept is always sexier then the production version. The LFA's concept was way sexier then the production LFA also, they butchered it at the last moment, I think I might have yelled out loud in anger when I first saw the production LFA pics.

This was my favorite version, look so smooth:

Which is why its called a "concept". Concepts are always sexier, they don't need to be driven, they don't need to pass safety laws, etc etc.

FYI, the changes to the LFA were functional, to get it past the 200 MPH mark.

Quite a few "unseen yet" pics on NetCarShow. Some on the interior details too.
From some angles the design definitely reminds of 2SC too.

Well, let's hope they won't change much of the concept on the production version.

Wow thanks for sharing! The interior save for the instrument cluster looks really production ready IMO. One thing that seems to be missing is the shift paddles. With all the new Lexus hybrids having simulated gears it would seem strange not to offer it.

Also I suppose the new Remote Touch screen has haptic feedback or one would totally have to move the eyes away from the road when operating it.
