Even though Toyota�s luxury division won�t say it, the LF-Gh�s also hints at a replacement for the GS given the proximity in size between the two models as the concept measures 192.5-in. long, 73.6-in. wide, 57.1-in. tall while riding on a 112.2-in long wheelbase. In comparison, the current GS is 190.7-in long, 71.7-in. wide, 56.1-in tall and rides on the same 112.2-in long wheelbase.
Lexus says that through this exercise, it redefines its L-Finesse design philosophy, which debuted in 2001, adding that it represents a bolder styling that �unites hard and soft; and energetic and soothing elements�. Needless to say, the LF-Gh has borrowed many styling elements from Lexus� first supercar, the LF-A, including the body surfaces as well as the shape of the tail lamps, headlights and front grille.
�Customers have been waiting for a bold concept like this from Lexus,� said Mark Templin, Lexus Division group vice president and general manager. �We look forward to their feedback and integrating some of these exciting design features into future Lexus vehicles.�
We only get a glimpse of the interior in these photos, but from what we can tell, the LF-A also played a role in the styling of the cabin and dashboard. According to the Japanese automaker, �it is an interior designed to respond to the needs of customers who know true quality, and are particular about details�.
The only information we get about the powertrain setup is that the LF-Gh features a hybrid propulsion system.
More details will be released next week during the car�s world premiere at the New York Auto Show.
