LF-Gh Hybrid Concept introduced at 2011 New York Auto Show
The lexus LF-Gh hybrid concept makes its global debut at the 2011 New York International Auto Show. The concept is set out to redefine the design features that will migrate to future lexus vehicles. "For this concept, Lexus designers studied characteristics that are often considered contradictory and difficult to execute together," said Kengo Matsumoto, general manager, Lexus Design Division, Toyota Motor Corporation. "The captivating design of the LF-Gh concept examines the possibility of balancing what are normally opposing qualities, such as style and functionality".
Through this exercise, the definition of L-Finesse, the brand’s design philosophy since 2001, has been refined and evolved to include a bolder, more distinct projection of what a premium car could become in a modern world. The result is the LF-Gh concept, which conveys original thoughts and ideas that will migrate to future Lexus vehicles on a global scale.
According to Lexus, the next generation of Lexus sedan would be able to provide a moving driving experience and comfortably transporting multiple occupants at higher speeds on long-distance drives. Their new concept deals with boldness, agility and gracious interior, while respecting grand touring sedan tradition such as the Lexus IS AWD, the Lexus IS F or the Lexus sedan GS and LS.
Audacious, wide stance is consistent with the goal of inspiring dynamic excellence on the road. Fundamentally, these are the proportions of an agile, responsive sedan built on an advanced rear-wheel-drive platform. The distinctive long greenhouse design provides the potential for functional passenger benefits, such as generous interior room for all four passengers, ample cargo area, and excellent forward visibility.
