Lexus LFA NEXT concept for Lexus Desing Award 2014
"
The Lexus LFA NEXT concept means to be two-seat hypercar from Lexus joining the group of Mclaren p12 and Ferrari laFerrari. It is the third model in the F marque line of performance vehicles from Lexus. Many concept versions have been shown, each debuting at the North American International Auto Show. This one must be like an exploding volcano on button push. The production Lexus LFA will feature a new V12 hybride engine and a carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) body. CFRP materials account for 88 percent of the Lexus LFA NEXT's body composition by mass. The LFA should go into production in late 2014, with a base price of US$699,000, which is slightly less than both other candidates. As we know predecessor was too expensive although we understand that the development of a whole new category for Lexus was tough. Naturally synonym of luxury is a name Lexus which is a luxury department of Toyota, and how else express top product of the brand as to make a two seated coupe with a jet acceleration and the most sophisticated materials in interior. A circuit-tuned variant should debut in late 2014 with on a base price of US$799.000, making it one of the most expensive Japanese road car ever built. Production is planning 999 vehicles completed until 2015, together with the final version being a Nurburgring Package model. The CURIOSITY of this vehicle, as I said earlier, particularly in its manufacture. Lexus is in fact a novice in the field of super cars, and what my proposals aim was to join the group of Hypercars. Design maters is tne next goal of my project. Surely many cool details were allight, but whole appearance of the first LFA was not enough to beat the heroes of supercars. So my point was to create a vehicle where design maters the most. Sure had to continue the best stuff of the first LFA but to make them much more better. At the end of design process despite the technological raise, underneath the sasi, modern, highend, design gives the shiny glowe ontop of this project. As the strongest areas of art I see in the vent just behind the B-pillars replicating especially my sketches, but also predeces typical design element. Surely tail lights conencted to back vents are simular to predecessor ant the same goes to the front details. LED tachnology is also present and underlining sharp headlights. Frontgrill is relative to the current model range. And last the huge hybride motortechnology is stored under rear car window showing the 900 horsepower. Metalic paint shows toxic appearence expressing not to touch and compete unless you`re compatible. Joining the competition: http://www.designboom.com/competition/lexus-design-award-2014/
