The Frankfurt Motor Show is going to be bigger than Ben Hur. Making sure they don’t miss out on all the fun Lexus will be revealing their new chariot, the Premium Compact Concept.
Lexus reckon their new show car will “demonstrate a mix of technical innovation and ground-breaking design that promises to raise the bar in the premium compact segment”.
I guess we’d better not miss it, then.
A pair of prototype Lexus LF-A racers will be entered into this year’s Nürburgring 24 hour race. Lexus will treat the race as a development experience. You can be assured that 24 hours around the Nordschleife will be a stern test of the car’s 5.0 litre V10.
The full list of drivers and plenty more information can be found on the Gazoo Racing website. You can also follow the team’s progress on Twitter.
A press release from Lexus, including basic cars specifications, can be read at AUSringers.com.
The V10 powered Lexus LF-A Roadster concept looks sleek and sexy. Of course, this was the only excuse the Lexus Australia PR team needed to hire a leather clad minx to pull the covers off the 360kW coupé at the Melbourne International Motor Show. Not sure having this young lass climbing all over the bonnet was such a great idea, but there you go.
