Sporting more heavily-sculpted styling than the current lineup, the LF-NX also suggests that Lexus may be ready to take its new spindle grille and multi-planed “L-Finesse” design theme to more extreme places. Powerful cuts separate the front fenders from the bumper, and LED daytime running lights are used to add to the sinister look. A diamond-shaped beltline and steep backlight give the LF-NX a sporty look.
On the inside, Lexus has equipped the LF-NX with touch-sensitive electrostatic switches and a new remote-touch interface system. Carved metal interior panels and yellow and black interior leather provide visual interest.
Lexus hasn’t said much about the powertrain of this concept, an omission which further suggests that a production car is in the works. We’ll find out more when the car’s officially unveiled on September 10, in Frankfurt.
