Lexus Concept Car teaser images

Lexus are just starting to tease us with images of the new concept car to be revealed on 9th January at the North American Motor Show in Detroit. The exterior teaser isn’t showing us very much other that a big brake duct looking a little Ferrari 458-esque. But the interior image shows some lovely organic curves, a raked seat, showing it’s going to be a coupe, and lovely combination of stitching, leather, cloth and steel or alloy on the paddle shift.

No doubt we’ll be getting some more before the big day, stay tuned for details…..
