This unique blood red & black interior color combination was first seen in a Japan-only limited edition of 500 models—here are some more photos: [...]

In Canada, the blood red interior is only available in a Touring Special Edition (a $5,200CAD upgrade package, but Lexus USA is offering it as a $200USD option! They’re calling it the Interior Accents package, here’s how it breaks down:

* Dark Gray bird’s-eye maple interior trim
* Perforated Red and Black leather-trimmed interior with red contrast stitching
* Black leather-trimmed steering wheel with red stitching
* Red interior carpet
* Black carpeted floor mats with red Lexus logo





This first was available in Japan, where the pics are from.

Looks really good IMO, takes the GS interior to another level.

wow this is sweet!!!!!!!! damn too bad, if i have the choice i'd get this combo eaily. 200 bucks is nothing. though i am skeptical it's that cheap, in canada it's a lot more expensive? (to the point that it doesn't make much sense?)

especially it comes with black wood, wow.... VERY nice

Funny I was browsing on Lexus for the past 2 weeks and it was there as an option and its in the gallery. I honestly thought it was a mistake.

Glad to see they are listening!!

From the looks of it we get one version. Black leather, grey wood, red carpet and red stitching and black floor mats.

Get this in black exterior, with the red trim, get calipers done in red, maybe some "Time attacks" wheels and you have something SICK.

I could do white too

can't really say if this looks good or not. dark gray wood is a nice touch, but not really feeling the red carpet either. might change my opinion when i look at it in person.
