Lexus has just debuted an all new #electricvehicle the #LFZL - Will this edgy behemoth replace the respected Lexus LS #sedan in the not-so-distant Future?
LF-ZL, a Flagship BEV Concept with a Vision of the Electrified Future
The LF-ZL represents a future Lexus flagship luxury model, aiming to offer a prestigious ownership experience beyond just the car, driven in next-generation BEV architecture and software advancements from the new Arene OS. Taking advantage of the freedom in BEV-specific packaging and optimizing interior space, LF-ZL has a spacious and serene cabin where traditional Omotenashi features are elevated through technology, for an unprecedented mobility experience.
By harnessing the full capabilities of the Arene OS, Lexus has establish advanced information integration that learns and anticipates the driver's needs, resulting in a personalized mobility experience. Additionally, it generates fresh experiential value by enabling interaction with a range of societal infrastructure and services. Through "Interactive Reality in Motion*2", the car's onboard sensors work in conjunction with digital data from the surroundings. When drivers point to objects or places of interest during their journey, the car's display promptly delivers information along with voice guidance, enabling the car to enhance the connection between occupants and their surroundings.
Furthermore, the utilization of big data allows management of the charging process and power supply, enabling the vehicle to seamlessly connect to the network and become an integral part of the societal infrastructure while parked. This approach ensures the seamless integration of mobility solutions with the customer's lifestyle.
*2 Concept for an interactive reality experience platform. By combining data from maps and vehicle cameras with AI chat functionality, and in-car voice and gesture recognition, the goal is to link information held by the car with digital information from the surroundings.

[ The strong central crease that runs through each car’s bonnet has been highlighted with a strip of LEDs, divided into ‘north’ and ‘south’ sides by the Vizor grille. Meanwhile, the arrow-shaped daytime-running lights on today’s Vauxhalls have been replaced by flat bars that are bright enough to provide sufficient low-beam illumination on their own. Small banks of LEDs are nestled in the corner below each bar, providing high-beam functionality when needed. ] Hello Mr. David Chao, we/I missed Vancouver, and will soon visit BC this coming Summer 2024.. 😍 😍

I always thought the Chineese and the Koreans were ahead of Lexus as far as design but this.... WOW what a huge leap forward this is. Blew me away. Even the top coat paint looks more shiney and the origami shapes are so perfect. I would be so prowd driving one of these......Big applause to Lexus designers....👌👌👌

That's an interesting take. I always thought the Chinese and Korean designs were knock-offs of others - particularly German designs.

If this replaces the LS , i would weep. Lexus should still continue with Large flagship sedan format for the LS they must just copy the Lucid end of story.

Looks like some sort of vehicle from TRON or I-robot...I can see potential design language for future production but as a whole its a bit outlandish

[@teekay_1]

Interesting car, although the front of it makes it seem like a sporty Zamboni. Presumably, they'll fix that for production (if it makes to production)

No to the front. They really need a new direction on this and the van concept.

Why don’t they go straight to production on some of these concepts. The body designs at least. Not the future tech that doesn’t exist yet🤓 A car that looked exactly like that packed with real tech would surely sell.

how I wish they put those sliding doors on a sedan. it'll save so much space. and easier to get in and out.

Surprised Supercar Blondie had more information, e.g. bamboo panels, carpet woven with bamboo, etc. Will there be an in-depth review soon?

Pretty sure Lexus hired her and told her what to say. On the LF-ZC I talked about the bamboo.

Not a fan of the design of many of these cars. The LC is the most beautiful car they made and it was smooth lines. These sharp edges don’t do it for me

[@J0eC00L24]

Inside looks okay, but I don't like this yoke trend, it's gotta go. Front and back ends gotta go too. A lot of these new designs are way too busy, which just makes that new Mazda look even better IMO.

[@petejansen7220]

That LF-ZF vehicle from the sides look good but ugly front end and rear of vehicle. Too many cameras in my opinion, how are you going to see anything if these cameras get covered in snow or ice or sand/salt used on the icy roads in the northern areas where they get snow. No side mirror’s or rear view mirrors or back window, relying totally on cameras……. Hmmmm not sure if that is a great idea, it would be extremely dangerous driving on the road if and when any of these cameras malfunction or get dirty with road debris and not being able to clearly see,for a lane change or anyone behind you.

[@TECHVSTECHX]

Loose the old balding drunk guy jeeezes .😆 Sounds Ike a Chat GPT bot .

[@benjaminsmith2287]

Exterior looks like a Tesla Y but designed with care with chisels and it looks like it has a lot of Polestar like detailing in it as well, even missing a back window. But it also has lots of Lexus (spindle shape) and Japanese origami design as well. I think Toyota/Lexus are great at design but have been too conservative and they should unleash their great designs and show they're as good as the Koreans, the better Chinese cars, better German cars, and Volvo/Polestar. The interior is quite concept but we're beginning to see how Toyota wants to use screens and it is different than others. Also, their sense of ambient lights is next level as well. I'm not crazy about the two big screens on the passenger side and I think the whole touch screen craze has gotten old. They've lost their novelty. This has potential but a production version would be toned down a lot from this concept. And I would like an LS replacement. I'm a sedan guy.

[@ETOP911]

Kirk, these videos are awesome, but I have to be honest who cares about all these concepts that will never be see the light of day. Useless expenditure of money is all they are, just fluff. Let’s focus on what’s real, and what’s coming not what they might be inspired to do, which will never happen. Mind you!

[@benjaminsmith2287]

It's not true that the concepts won't see the light of day. There are two types of concepts. Some are close to production models and others are previewing tech and design that will be seen in upcoming models. So, in some ways, either you'll see something close to the concept or parts of the concept in upcoming cars.

[@KirkKreifels]

This has a far better chance at production than Nissan's concepts...that's why I didn't cover Nissan concepts or Subaru coupe. Just so far fetched. LfzL is ugly imo, but I could see some of these ideas being salvageable
