Lexus unveiled hybrid sports coupe concept at Detroit

Lexus this week unveiled a new design concept for a hybrid 2+2 sport coupe at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, a driver-focused car that hints at the design cues that are coming in a wave of new Lexus models over the next two years.

Lexus say they are in the middle of the biggest change in their history, inspired by a new generation of distinctive design.

The new GS embodies this with its sculpted spindle grille as their symbol of change.

A feature is a remote touch-screen system that allows the driver to operate controls without shifting position or altering line-of-sight. Twin 12.2 inch LCD screens provide information and navigation displays.

Surfaces throughout the cabin are finished in a combination of smooth leather and suede, with brushed metal trim and wood accents. The race-inspired front seats are formed of multiple layers and repeat the interlacing curves that define the cabin's styling. The racing-style steering wheel has a lightweight design and houses integrated controls and a start button.

The front-engine, rear-wheel drive LF-LC features Advanced Lexus Hybrid Drive, delivering both driving performance and fuel efficiency.
