While Toyota began to introduce its new Avalon, with its luxury division Lexus has taken advantage of the auto Show in Detroit to unveil a vehicle not a lot more futuristic.

Dubbed LF-1 Limitless, this SUV concept seems to be squarely out of a science fiction movie. It is the firm’s california-based CALTY, which is occupied in its design, and let’s say that they did not skimp on the stroke of a pen.

The storefront is particularly quirky, pushing the boundaries of design of Lexus with a grille, still more gigantic. It’s starting to verge on the caricature.

Inside, it offers an interior that is just as broke where the screens are almost everywhere.

It was integrated to just about all the buttons on the steering wheel. Even the gear lever has been moved there!

Like any concept that meets in 2018, the LF-1 Limitless is also equipped with a driving mode, semi-autonomous, where the vehicle may theoretically lead to him-even on the road.

As the marketing of this concept is not envisaged for the time being, Lexus is not too focused on the mechanical details of the LF-1. The manufacturer has ensured that the vehicle could be animated by several types of engines different from gasoline engine to the version that is 100% electric, through variants of hybrid and hydrogen. It closes the door to any option.

Lexus took advantage of this presentation to announce that by 2025, all of the models it sells around the world will be fully electric, or will have a variant electrified.
