Lexus says that the LF-Gh hybrid concept redefines its L-Finesse design philosophy, which it first used in 2001, adding that it represents a bolder styling that "unites hard and soft; and energetic and soothing elements". The LF-Gh takes styling cues from Lexus' supercar, the LFA, including details such as the body surfaces as well as the shape of the tail lamps, headlights and front grille.

"Customers have been waiting for a bold concept like this from Lexus," said Mark Templin, Lexus Division group vice president and general manager. "We look forward to their feedback and integrating some of these exciting design features into future Lexus vehicles."

Lexus only provided a small preview of the interior, but the company says that "it is an interior designed to respond to the needs of customers who know true quality, and are particular about details". The LF-Gh might even provide a clue as to the looks of the next GS model, given their similar dimensions.

The car will be announced in full detail at the New York Motor Show, which runs from April 22 to May 1. At the moment Lexus would only divulge that the LF-Gh hybrid concept will be powered by Lexus' Hybrid Synergy Drive system, without providing any performance details.
