Lexus LF-Gh Hybrid Concept to Make World Debut at 2011 New York International Auto Show

-- Stylish and assertive concept advances notions of premium luxury

-- Concept explores Lexus' future direction; global design identity evolves

-- Aggressive and bold "spindle" front grille hints at new face of Lexus vehicles

TORRANCE, CA--April 5, 2011: Lexus today announced that the LF-Gh hybrid concept will make its world debut at the 2011 New York International Auto Show.

The LF-Gh, which stands for Lexus Future Grand Touring Hybrid, sets out to redefine the premium grand touring sedan. Through this exercise, the definition of L-Finesse, the marque's design philosophy since 2001, has been refined and evolved to include a bolder, more distinct projection of what a luxury car could become in a modern world. The result is the LF-Gh concept, which conveys original thoughts and ideas that may migrate to future Lexus vehicles on a global scale.

The new concept will be on display in the Lexus exhibit at the New York International Auto Show from April 20 -- May 1, 2011.
