Lexus LF-Gh Hybrid Concept 2012, opened at New York Auto Show 2011, is nothing but a preview of the next generation Lexus GS, the premium model high class of the Japanese manufacturer.

After a few teaser images of the new Lexus LF-Gh concept, the Japanese gave us all the pictures and details of the projected new generation car Lexus GS. A high class premium sedan that will stake a more attractive car in terms of design, but also the hybrids engine technology.

In the case of Lexus LF-Gh Concept, the first thing you notice taken of the new brand image that appears, will show from now on Lexus models. Prominent front grille, in a form close to an hourglass, inspires unusual strength and aggressiveness, noted as conflicting ideas used by designers.
In fact, Lexus LF-Gh “considering putting the balance of elements that usually are seen as contradictory.” And the result is a grand-touring sedan, which integrates in a pleasant, but also surprisingly, L-Finesse style known for 10 years as stylistic language typical for Lexus models.

If you try to disregard the grid, the prominent figure of Lexus LF-Gh luxury saloon continues the tradition of Japanese entering the line of mid-ranged limousine or sedan. Very interesting is the idea of ​​the three bulbs in each light, while lights rely on a mix between aggression and elegance.

Here it is, finally, in all its glory: the new Lexus LF-LC concept, which unveiled at Detroit in 2012, announces a change of image and exuberant luxury for Toyota corporation. It remains to be seen on the road and the public feedback.

The first images of the Lexus LF-LC Concept were already published, but the new car show from Japanese at Detroit Motor Show 2012 is far too complex for us to be content with so few images. Now, however, Japanese officials reveals us several images of Lexus LF-LC.

Changing the image of Lexus cars already started with the new Lexus GS sedan, but the new concept LF-LC lines will have a lot of complexity – like Japanese designers were determined to draw attention to all details for the new coupe.
A 2 + 2 coupe aerodynamic and more compact than a LF-A supercar, but which still do not have information that would foreshadow a production model placed under the LF-A. In the cars design, this time we refrain from comment, leaving your mind to tell you about your model which is considered by Lexus officials as a symbol of history’s largest brand transformation.

Note, however, that designers have designed the interior of the Lexus LF-LC as ergonomic as possible, based on the latest gadgets in the car. ”Clocks” and steering wheel makes you think on the console racing car games, while a little bit in the right, we find a huge 12.3 inch LCD display, which displays the main navigation system information and other helpful information.
