Photo Gallery: Lexus Unveils Electric LF-30 Concept
Today at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show, Lexus unveiled their LF-30 Concept. The BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) is their vision for what they’ll be putting on the road–not anytime soon, but circa 2030. Here are some wraparound views of the car (and a few interior shots) to help you parse the unusual form, along with Lexus’ descriptions of what they’re going for.
“In taking up the challenge of expressing a new design that could only be achieved with a BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) powered by in-wheel electric motors, Lexus visually articulated the LF-30 Electrified’s unique energy flow.”
“The vehicle form is meant to visually express the energy created by the wheels set at the corners of the vehicle body streaming toward the vehicle cabin and past the driver to directly flow onto the road surface.”
“Taking advantage of a hoodless vehicle shape made possible by being a BEV, Lexus’ signature ‘spindle’ form has been further evolved to span the entire vehicle architecture.”
“The window glass, which continually stretches from the front to rear, the muscular fenders, and the wing-shaped headlights form the contours of the Lexus iconic spindle.”
“The shape of the body is fashioned with an elegantly flowing front which transitions into a linear and sharp rear.”
“In addition to the wing-shaped headlights, the sharpness of the rear lights and side air intakes combine to achieve both excellent aerodynamics and cooling performance, resulting in styling fused with function.”
“The opacity of the side windows can be freely adjusted, providing occupants with expansive views of the surrounding scenery and a high level of privacy at night and in other situations.”
“The color of the front face of the vehicle and luminescence patterns help identify from the outside whether the vehicle is being operated in its normal mode or in its autonomous driving mode, reflecting Lexus’ pursuit of both a high level of styling and functionality.”
“For its exterior styling the advanced image expected of a BEV has been channeled into artistic qualities that result in a futuristic form, and an interior that assertively weaves in autonomous driving and other new technologies aims to manifest Lexus’ distinctive worldview.”
“To manifest in a higher dimension Lexus’ fundamental human-centered philosophy, the cockpit was designed based on the new Lexus concept of ‘Tazuna.'”
