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.

From a blank page, the manufacturer of luxury created the foundations for a future sedan in using new advanced technologies, combining style, performance and functionality while respecting the environment.
A massive grille, lights and LED lights, the absence of handles and mirrors, 20-inch wheels, aerodynamic shapes as well as massive wheel arches, are part of the redefining its design philosophy L-finesse "applied to all Lexus products since 2001.
Once inside, the LF-Gh features a highly visible instrumentation and a more functional console including an analog clock 3D acting as focal point. Like any luxury car that respects itself, it also uses soft-touch materials.
Lexus, however, proved stingy with details on the powertrain of his car concept, stating only that the power generated by the hybrid will be transmitted to the rear wheels.
Despite this early opening, visitors to the exhibition in New York will still have the chance to take a look at the latest creation of Lexus of 22 April to 1 May 2011.

Whether the idiosyncratic designed front is reflected in the series will be seen. The LED lights and the honeycomb grill that can be seen in the present images is only partially seen, from quite sporty. Extravagant were drawn the tail lights. A candidate would be the elements particularly well: the successor of the GS. The current edition of the series is being produced at least since 2005 and a replacement would soon be due.

Lexus says that the concept model will give a new meaning to the brand's L-Finesse design philosophy, with the car sporting a bolder, more distinct appearance. The company added that many of the thoughts and ideas found on the concept “may migrate to future Lexus vehicles on a global scale.”
Judging from the letter "G" of the car's name, the concept could preview the next generation GS premium sedan, although there is no official mention of this in the Spartan press release.
The two teaser photos show fragments of the front and rear ends, which display more aggressive and sharp looking headlights and taillights. The front photo also offers a glimpse of the car's massive grille and what appears to be an aerodynamic element or a brake vent located in the low corner of the heavily sculpted bumper. The rear photo only shows the car's taillights, which have an intricate design. There is also an aperture below the taillight, most likely located there for styling reasons.
Lexus didn't offer any technical details about its hybrid concept, but we should expect to find out more about it in the two weeks remaining before the unveiling.
