Lexus has just exclusively revealed the LF-LC GT Vision Gran Turismo car and it is awe-inspiring! The car is planed to be distributed in a free update (no joke) for the PlayStation3 Gran Turismo 6 game. This will happen in the spring. The virtual car was developed to answer fans who “want to race world competitions in their dream car”. As a matter of fact, the design and development of the model was based on the idea of targeting entry in races such as the Super GT or the Nürburgring 24 hour race.
As a base model the talented team used the luxury coupe LF-LC concept. The latter car was created by CALTY DESIGN with the aim to be detailed and to include many features that evoke emotion. An example is the shape of the tail lamps which is inspired by afterburners of a jet aircraft.
As mentioned, the virtual PS3 car is based on the LF-LC, but was infused with the real world approach of Lexus racing. And as you can see the result is beautifully sculptured vehicle which is also performance-oriented GT car.
Take a look at the pure white body of the LF-LC GT Vision Gran Turismo! It seems perfect and it also has iridescent brush strokes which express the exhaust tones, quickening pulse and moments of excitement. The front of the car features muscular front bumper, spindle grille and the LF-LC concept LED headlights.
Some carbon details are also there – see the carbon fiber hood? The sporty styling at the back of the vehicle features ventilated rear bumper with a lot of carbon fiber trim and three dimensional taillights. In short: this car will probably fulfill the dreams of every Gran Turismo fan!

Some news from the NAIAS – Designers at the Lexus studio in Calty, California can take a much deserved vacation now as the much anticipated Lexus LF-LC Hybrid Sport Coupe Concept is proving itself a big success with an ‘EyesOn Design Award’ for a best concept. Innovative approach has been kept in mind when designing the 2+2 Hybrid which incorporates a certain emotive charge combined with cold blooded technology.
We have had one or two teasers about the Lexus LF-LC but now, a week before its debut, two new official, real-life pictures are on the loose. We still cannot report on any technical data except that it will bring “driving performance and fuel efficiency” to the world because we are talking about a hybrid. Even the branding on the sides suggests so.
Last week we had more speculations and less facts about the forthcoming Lexus concept which will be revealed on the NAIAS in Detroit in mid January.
