LEXUS FUTURE CONCEPT COUPÉ

THE NEW LF-CC

The stunning new LF-CC Full Hybrid coupe concept makes its world premiere at the 2012 Paris Motor Show. Showcasing the boldest Lexus ‘spindle grille’ yet seen, this compact four-seat coupe signals a dynamic evolution of our design language for future models. An athletic coupe profile enhanced by a side ‘kick-up’ line, with short overhangs front and rear. To the front, sculpted air intakes cool engine and brakes, while a 3 LED projector headlamp design features innovative, surface-mounted heat sinks and distinctive, arrow-shaped daytime running lights.

We produced a set of 15 images within 3 weeks production time for the 2012 Paris Motor Show brochure.
