The trademark Lexus angular grills elegances the front whereas the sharp detailing and shape is reminiscent of the LFA supercar. The headlamps are designed on the triple-LED headlamps which are taken from the world’s thinnest projectors to give quite impressive and sharp looks.
The exterior of the Lexus is also imposing. The exterior angles provides best support to increase the aerodynamic efficiency and engine cooling, with the rear air diffuser and optional active rear spoiler playing a big part in the former.
