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.

To improve handling, Lexus’ entry-level model gained new springs, an upgraded brake systems from Baer with 13-inch rotors and four-piston calipers, and 20-inch alloy wheels shod in Toyo T1R tires size 225/30 20 up front and 255/30 20 at the back.
Cosmetically, Fox Marketing added a new wide body kit with three-inch fender flares, new bumpers and a large rear diffuser along with a bespoke paint job.
