Should a LX F be in Our Future?

Do you think that Lexus should make a high-performance version of the LX 570? Photochopper X-Tomi believes so, and has rendered an Ultrasonic Blue LX F to prove his point.

The idea of an LX F is an appealing one — replace the slatted grille with the F-pattern mesh, add some fender vents, drop in the 450 horsepower supercharged 5.7L V8 engine from the limited edition LX offered in the Middle East, and DONE.

And yet, here’s the thing — the new LX 570’s design is already turned all the way up. Some subtle adjustments like the recently announced Modellista kit may work out, but the changes needed to make an LX F would push this design right over the edge. Better to skip the exterior modifications and just offer a supercharged LX as an option in North America (although, we would love to sport this ultrasonic blue LX around town, wouldn't you?).

Spain's Blackout Lexus CT

Lexus Spain has introduced the Blackout edition of the Lexus CT 200h Sport. The new edition has blacked-out roof, grille and wheels, which add to the edgy boldness of the already dramatic CT Sport. With a peppery-red and deep black accents, the sport-luxury compact stands out in all of the right ways. A smooth red complements the thick, hand-waxed exterior and makes the driver feel the thrill of a Spanish-inspired design. We can't help but want to take these red-hot wheels for a spin around Barcelona and explore Spain in the right way- in absolute luxury.

The Lexus Hoverboard

Have you heard the hype about the hoverboard? Lexus recently introduced its bind-boggling hoverboard, and here is the recent press release:

Since the Lexus Hoverboard was unveiled in June, testing has been carried out in a specially constructed hoverpark, combining elements from skate culture with technology within its architecture. Up to 200 meters of magnetic track was transported to Barcelona from the Dresden facility to lay beneath the hoverpark surface in order to create the dynamic test, offering Lexus the opportunity to demonstrate tricks no skateboard could ever perform, like traveling across water. Lexus has captured the final ride footage and released it as a film led by award winning director Henry-Alex Rubin.
The Lexus Hoverboard technology features two “cryostats”—reservoirs in which superconducting material is kept at -197 degrees through immersion in liquid nitrogen. The board is then placed above a track that contains permanent magnets. Dr. Oliver de Haas, evico CEO, said: “The magnetic field from the track is effectively ‘frozen’ into the superconductors in the board, maintaining the distance between the board and the track—essentially keeping the board hovering. This force is strong enough to allow the rider to stand and even jump on the board.”

We want to test it out! How about you?

Lexus NX F Sport Wins Compact Crossover Comparison

The Lexus NX 200t F SPORT has taken first place in a Motor Trend compact crossover comparison against the BMW X3 xDrive28i, Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, Lincoln MKC 2.0 AWD, and Volvo XC60 T6:

[The NX] comes well-dressed at the lowest as-tested price, with good cost of ownership and high marks for driving experience, cabin and leather quality, ride and handling balance, efficiency, and safety. And as [MT editor Edward] Loh asserted, its “engine sounds great under wide-open throttle, especially in Sport mode.”
Lexus isn’t for everyone. But if you’re hunting for a compact luxury CUV with the most diverse skill set, look no further than the NX 200t.

This is a strong win against difficult competitors; An excellent win for the new Lexus compact crossover.
