Video: The Lexus LF-1 Limitless Concept in Detail


In the weeks before the reveal of a new model, automotive brands will pull together photographers and videographers to generate assets to share with the public. Part of this practice is generating stock footage for TV news broadcasts and Youtube channels, and the result usually passes with little fanfare.

I say all this because here we have the exception to the rule — this video might be the best look at the LF-1 Limitless concept so far:

(For more on the LF-1 Limitless, you can read the official press release or our first impressions from the auto show.)

That thing is loooooong. Volvo XC90 Excellence and Bentley Bentayga killer?

It is ok. I am sure the production version will be nice for what it is. I like that the license plate at the back is on the bumper and not on the trunk.

WOW! never thought I'd be this stunned by a crossover.

Love the sporty side profile. Hate the headlights that look as if the car can't get its eyes opened. Don't care for connected taillights on any car either.

But as long as it's actually based on a premium platform (GA-L) it's a huge step in the right direction for Lexus.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

I know that this is a concept and that it won't get to production looking like this, but I love the design overall, but the front end lights don't work for me. Everything else I love.

What a bold design? This concept look better than my friend's Infiniti Qx70. Lexus really stepped their game in design.

Looks great!! If it was designed with production in mind why will it take 3 years...love the look but they need to put a big engine in it!

The attention to detail and the sophistication of fit/finish is truly flagship evocative. If my instinct serves, "experience amazing" will be to see it in real life.

I think between the production-ready half of the clay model (nice catch there, @White Beach!) and their repeated invocations of the LF-LC that this is closer to production than they want to let on. Possibly late 2019/early 2020?

Maybe it's the color, but I feel like this is what the Infiniti FX/QX70 should have turned into. That's not a rip on Lexus by any stretch - they took the idea an are running with it, but Infiniti really lost their way.
Wow it threw my back to the "bionic cheetah" a bit too based on color.... though this is a full class or two higher from what Lexus is saying.

The front is a little over kill IMO. Everything else looks good tho.
