Live Coverage from SEMA 2012

Posted by Kevin on October 30th, 2012

The 2012 SEMA show starts today in Las Vegas, and I’ll be here covering the Lexus display, which will include the North American debut of the LF-CC concept and project cars from Five Axis & VIP Auto Salon.

My live coverage is available in a couple different ways — you can read here on the site, follow along with the @LexusNewsLive Twitter account and Facebook, or even add LexusNews on Instagram.

You have a great time at the show Kevin!The LF-CC is beautiful!...Can't even imagine how spectacular it is in person!BTW,is the Five Axis LS sporting Five Axis wheels?They look like NEEZ 7MODEL.Also,the SC GS F-Sport from VIP is now sporting different wheels.(not the 7 spoke Vossens.)

Here's what I found out: * The wheels on the Project LS are not made by Five Axis, no word on the manufacturer. * The Vossen wheels that were on the VIP GS conflicted with the Brembo big brake kit, and had to be swapped out with the Wald wheels.

Hey krew maybe u can help me maybe not, but I bought a Lexus GS 350 loaded about a week ago, I went to get that engraved keychain and five people before the announced they were out. Soooo disappointed. I'm a legitimate New Lexus owner. The key chain is very pretty. Can you arrange for me to acquire one? Thanks, Christi

So do you like the side vents or not? :) Crazy could mean a lot of things

That's a fair point -- I like the concept of IS F vents on the LS, but think the black shape is too bold. That said, it is a show car.

The LF-CC looks amazing - I can't wait until we learn about production plans. The GS350 SuperCharged with the WALD kit adds very tasteful enhancements - I'm interested and eager to learn more about the added power. I found this short video clip of the supercharged engine revving: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysifhXuOW7g (not liking the sound represented but I'll reserve judgement until more information is available).

I'm sure if they would have captured the exhaust sound in that video, it would have sounded better... ;) We developed a Full Performance Exhaust System for this special GS350 build.. Which not only enhances the sound, but gives it the additional needed power as well. ~ Joe Z
