Press Release:

]Lexus LF-FC Flagship Concept Revealed at the Tokyo Motor ShowTOKYO (Oct. 28, 2015) — Taking center stage in the Lexus booth at the Tokyo Motor Show 2015, Lexus revealed the LF-FC flagship concept, a visionary new vehicle that offers a peek into the design and technology direction of the brand's future flagship sedan.

"Lexus wants to surprise and evoke emotion with its distinctive design and forward-thinking technology. For us, it is more than just a car, and we should exceed conventional imagination. The LF-FC expresses our progressive luxury and high-tech vision of a not so distant future," said Tokuo Fukuichi, Lexus International President.

The LF-FC features a fresh new styling theme that embodies Lexus' "L-finesse" design philosophy. From every angle, the sedan is aggressively elegant, exuding the spirit of a grand touring vehicle. An evolved version of Lexus' signature grille with a new mesh design dominates the front, while floating "L-shaped" daytime running lights (DRL) extrude flawlessly from the front fenders. The rear is highlighted by striking new taillights that adopt the same floating theme as the DRL. When seen from its profile, the LF-FC's true character is revealed. The roofline flows from front to rear in the manner of a "4-door coupe," suggesting that this vehicle isn't just meant for straight highways, but to also be enjoyed on twisty roads. The sporty 21-inch aluminum wheels with carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) rims, add an extra dose of flair to what is already a dynamically styled machine.

The spacious interior of the LF-FC has been designed to wrap its occupants in a comfortable yet futuristic environment, while providing the driver with a highly-functional cockpit. The cabin has been designed in two sections, top and bottom. The top conveys a sense of openness, allowing the driver to concentrate on the road ahead without feeling constrained. When seen at eye level, the front seats seem to be floating. The rear seats have been designed for those who enjoy being driven, offering a reclining feature and plenty of head and knee space. High-quality aniline leather on the seats, doors and dashboard enhances the level of luxury of the interior.

Highlighting the new technology inside the LF-FC is an advanced human machine interface that can be operated by simple hand gestures, without the need to touch a panel or controls. A small holographic image on the center console indicates where the system can interpret your hand gestures to control the audio system and ventilation.

At the heart of the LF-FC is a high output fuel cell power system that energizes the rear wheels, and also sends power to two in-wheel motors in the front, making the LF-FC all-wheel-drive. This innovative drive system allows precise torque distribution control between the front and rear wheels, giving the full-size sedan exceptional dynamic handling and superior road stability. The strategic placement of the fuel-cell stack at the rear of the vehicle, power control unit at the front and T-formation configured hydrogen fuel tanks result in front and rear weight distribution optimal for a sporty sedan.

Using automated driving technologies, with elevated traffic environment recognition, prediction, and judgment function, the LF-FC provides a safe and efficient driving experience for its occupants and supports the vision of a world without traffic accidents.

Wow. Che bel faro.

[calatrava]

Fa quasi paura: sembra un rasoio da barba futuristico

Curioso di vedere

[crabble]

Bisogna fargli la manicure?!

Eccola, LF-FC:

Davanti va bene, sembra la IS...di fianco la faccenda si fa preoccupante perchè vedo MIRAI nel posteriore, infine dietro nella parte alta c'è lo spoiler simil IS ed un disegno che circa la ricorda.

Per me se aggiustassero il "gomito" del finestrino zona montante C e togliessero quel posteriore da Mirai sarebbe anche gradevole, ma così per me è rovinatissima.

Il problema di questo concept è che al 99,999%, il passaggio in serie la renderà agghiacciante.

Il mega griglione, i fari sottilissimi, il trattamento del posteriore, son tutte cose che qua stanno bene, ma una volta normalizzate rischiano di diventare digeribili quanto la bagna cauda.

I volumi mi piacciono molto, donano alla fiancata un bel dinamismo, senza per forza sfociare nella "solita" berlina-coupé-fastback.

Lexus è passata da fare auto anonime a fare auto esteticamente appaganti a questa roba qua.

Non è del tutto da buttare, ma ci sono cose che mi spingono a cavarmi gli occhi.

[J-Gian]

Quindi un veicolo ad idrogeno che alimenta le fuel-cell, trazione integrale con motori elettrici anteriori dentro le ruote.

In più c'è un pacco batterie simile alle ibride, per recuperare energia in frenata.
