With its opal blue exterior inspired by the semi-precious opal stone from outback Australia, the Lexus LF-LC Blue appeared this week at the 2012 Australian International Motor Show. It’s the second version of an LF-LC model that first debuted at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
“The concept hints at what’s to come from Lexus, while the reality has us actively studying how we can engineer and build a vehicle like this in the future,” Tony Cramb, chief executive of Lexus Australia, said in a statement.
The sleek car runs on a combination of traditional gasoline and an improved, smaller battery pack. To save on weight, the LF-LC Blue uses more carbon fiber than its previous hybrid models. As the most powerful Lexus hybrid to date, it sports a 500-horsepower Advanced Lexus Hybrid Drive.
The concept also features a remote touch-screen device that allows the driver to operate controls and two 12.3-inch LCD screens, which provide information and navigation display.
But don’t get your hopes up too much. This beautiful concept car isn’t coming to market anytime soon — it only teases what we might expect from Lexus in the future.
