Default VIDEO: LFA 410 Nürburgring & Interactive Display - 2013 NAIAS

It's amazing how much the Lexus LFA draws attention. Even with production stopping a month ago, the LFA still manages to create a lot of buzz. This year in Detroit, Lexus unveiled a new interactive kiosk which includes the use of LEDs, touch screen displays, sound and of course LFA 410, Nürburgring Package.

Visitors to the Detroit show can finally experience the sound of the LFA in person, and they can rev it up for themselves too! A specific LFA kiosk is located on the western edge of the Lexus display in Cobo Center. There you will find the touch screen which allows you to virtually start up and rev up the LFA. High fidelity speakers are strategically placed around the display and under the LFA to simulate the distinct tones which emit from the LFA at high speeds. The LEDs on the floor change colors as the speed increases on the LFA's rev meter. The sound is so unique, you can really identify the Yamaha tuned V10 roar throughout Cobo Center!

The LEDs on the floor change colors as the speed increases on the LFA's rev meter. The sound is so unique, you can really identify the Yamaha tuned V10 roar throughout Cobo Center!

This kiosk right there should be made into a smartphone/tablet app, optionally connected to any car's OBDII interface with a Bluetooth module (such as this) and outputting the sounds of the real LFA to the car's audio system according to the engine revs, scaled from the LFA's 9500 max revs to the car's max revs (e.g. if a car cuts off at 7400rpm and the engine is revving at 6000rpm, the app should output the LFA's engine noise recorded from the LFA revving at 9500/7400 x 6000rpm = 7703rpm).

Better yet, since the IS300h already has the fake engine noise implemented, just give it a firmware update to allow it the option of faking the LFA sounds, completed with the LFA-style gauges already in place.

Make this app and/or firmware update happen, Lexus!! Most of the work is already done anyway as this kiosk and the IS300h's demo already show. This is a huge marketing opportunity for you!!!
