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.

LF-C2 Concept

The LF-C2 concept car demonstrates in a physical form the plans Lexus has in store for its future design direction. The concept involves 2+2 layout that is derived from a pure and simple sports coupe idea. It sports an open-air design that allows all passengers to feel the wind through their hair. The LF-C2 is a roadster concept, and does not have any type of top covering the cabin. The exterior was influenced by the way shapes on the surface interact with different types of light. Designers crafted the edges, curvatures and planes of the surface to reflect light in such a way that it exudes an all-new character when touched by it. The multi-layer paint process further adds to the exterior character of the concept to give it a fresh finish. Keep an eye out for this concept in the future because who knows? You may be the one behind the wheel.

Despite its highly compact exterior dimensions, the concept boasts a surprisingly spacious interior. The information system includes a hologram style display.
