Lexus GS OEM wind deflectors







Finally managed to fit the original Lexus wind deflectors / レクサス純正 サイドバイザー  (0861130820 / 14-3056513549)! They integrate very nicely with the design of the car and I think I prefer the looks with them on :-)

Lexus GS 300h in Copper Brown (Amber Crystal Shine)
















One of perhaps the nicest colours in the Lexus range is the Copper Brown, or alternatively as called in Japan, Amber Crystal Shine (アンバークリスタルシャイン〈4X2〉). It is not easy to capture how it looks in reality, and I was initially put off by the original pictures that the dealer took. I opted for a Sonic Silver GS instead, but it was a sale that went wrong in many ways and I had to return the car.

Well, that was for the best, as I finally decided to get this beautiful GS and the colour is absolutely amazing, at least in my opinion :-)

New Lexus IS coming June 10

Lexus announced today that on June 10, the new IS will be revealed. Following recent news from Japanese publications, the new IS is expected to be based on the existing platform, instead of a newly developed one, but we will have to wait just a few days in order to find out more. Although the current model looks modern and still very nice in terms of exterior styling, the interior looks outdated and introducing a fresh styling is thus much needed.

New Lexus LS officially revealed!!!



 

 

The all-new Lexus LS (previous post) was officially revealed in NAIAS and you can read the press release here. Although there is no point in reproducing what has been already released, it is definitely a beautiful car!!! The design is simply amazing, and along with the new Lexus LC, they are by far the best looking cars for sale on the planet!

Toyota Celsior 1989 model by Hi-Story




This Toyota Celsior C-Ttype 1989 model by Hi-Story is the second Celsior model added to my collection (earlier post) and I opted for the White Pearl Mica Toning G version. Unfortunately, photos don't do justice to the colour. Hi-Story models are handmade and for its price, I am very happy with it!

Toyota Celsior F Package 2004 model by WiT's





The Lexus LS wasn't available in Japan until 2006. Until then, a domestic version badged as Toyota Celsior (トヨタ・セルシオ) was sold in Japan. This is the third-gen Celsior / LS (F30型) and the actual model colour is called White Pearl Crystal Shine. Although the photos cannot show the beauty of the colour, in real life, it is very impressive indeed!

Lexus SC 430 model by Kyosho






This is a rather old model, but since I found it for €7.95, I immediately added it to my collection. Lexus SC 430 is a beautiful car and I am still waiting for an even better model version of it to come out. This is the last Toyota-branded series of Soarer coupes (Z40 series), introduced in 2001. From July 2005 onwards, it was sold in Japan as Lexus SC 430 only.

Lexus LFA model by Mark




I already have three LFA models, made by Ebbro and Kyosho, as part of my collection, but I was really tempted in buying another one when I saw this version by Mark (Mark43). This is an LFA (RHD) in Pearl Grey colour made out of resin. A very beautiful model indeed!

More Lexus UX renderings


Following the info Mag-X already published last month (earlier post) about the new baby Lexus  SUV, this time it's Best Car magazine that came up with new renderings. Those renderings are very different and I have to admit that I like this version better. The Lexus UX is expected to be launched in 2019.

New Lexus LS arrives in 2017

The all-new Lexus LS should be introduced in May 2017 and it is going to use the new FR platform that the new LC 500 has first adopted. Based on that, it is expected that the new LS will be wider than the current model. Changes are also coming in terms of the powertrain, as Lexus is downsizing from the current 5.0-liter V8 engine with hybrid drive to a 3.5-liter V6 one, again with hybrid drive. The gasoline only LS is also likely to come with a smaller engine, but it is not certain yet, based on the info leaked.

An F Sport version will also become available and this time, Lexus is planning to use a turbocharged V8 engine in order to compete with Mercedes’ S63 AMG. During the second half of the model life, a new powertrain will be added. Scheduled to be released in 2020, a hydrogen fuel cell version will hit the markets, but the biggest surprise will be the introduction of the LS 250t. Power will come from a 2.5-liter inline-4 turbocharged engine coupled to a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Rumors suggest that Lexus is going to use cameras instead of door mirrors, as they are now legal in Japan (since June 17). The LF-FC concept showcased this technology and Lexus will definitely try to introduce it with the new LS.

Specifications:
■ Expected announcement date: May 2017
■ Total length x total width x height: 5,100 x 1,915 x 1,470 (mm)
■ Engine: 3.5L V6 + hybrid drive

Lexus UX SUV coming in 2019

Mag-X magazine has published information about the new CT-based SUV, which will be badged as Lexus UX, coming in January 2019. The new UX (internal code 100B) will be based on the next-gen CT model. The UX dimensions are likely to be 4400 × 1800 × 1560 mm and it will compete with Mercedes-Benz GLA and BMW X1. 

The article mentions the UX 200 name, suggesting the use of 2.0-liter engine, but a UX 250 and UX 250h are also going to be available. The hybrid version though may use a smaller engine such a s a 2.0-liter one.

Lexus LS L-Select program: Escape Journey






There many beautiful items produced in Japan that unfortunately are not available outside the country. The same implies for the L-Select customization program available for the Lexus LS.

As part of the L-Select program (more info), there are six ‘worlds’ from which to choose the look and feel of your interior. Those "worlds" are the Presidential Suite, Escape Journey, Japanese Modern (my personal favourite), Royal Therapy, Wild Beauty and Passionate Spirit. The most distinct ones are definately the Escape Journey and the Passionate Spirit and although they may seem as extreme at first glance, the craftmanship and colour combinations are simply amazing.

The Escape Journey (more info) in particular conjures the image of a Mediterranean style yacht. The Marine Blue (マリンブルー) leather on the dashboard is spread in such a way that reproduces the scene of a steering cruiser aiming at the horizon (Kajiwokiru 舵を切る)! The aluminium trim also conjures the image of how the water reflects light.

Rendering of Lexus' LF-LC production version

Lexus may give the green light for a production version of the LF-LC Concept and Japanese magazines have started publishing renderings of the possible looks. I really hope that Lexus will go ahead and produce it.

Lexus LFA: Pearl Brown with Orange interior!!!

Lexus Escondido has uploaded some photos of an LFA in Pearl Brown and Orange interior. I have seen photos of many LFAs, but nothing like this yet! At least someone had imagination and the more I look at it... the more I like it!!!
