Wow! Kate Betts!
Otherwise.. I like the crazy front-end. I'm 0.1 second away from buying a 2011 TT 550i with Dinan stage 1 and this might make me wait a little bit.. I don't want a GS-F or an M5 (I like sleepers) but I just might regret having a 12.5 second 550i if this is driving around...
Yes, it's a little "out there" but I'm guessing a toned-down production version is going to look REALLY F'ing good.. I hope it doesn't change TOO much.. I'm tired of 99.999999999999% of the human race complaining about Toyota vehicles being too boring.

ahah. I have to agree, that was my reaction when I just saw this.
unless we're dealing with art and fashion, I'm a little doubtful what they can contribute to lexus car design.
All that artsy fartsy stuff usually doesn't apply to automotive design.
I'm eager to hear what they have to say, and wonder if they were just paid to kiss Lexus' ***.
Here's a clip of Kate-

She used to be the chief editor of Harper's Bazaar magazine.
Automotive design is probably beyond her expertise.

I think Ian Callum is the guy they need.
