The automaker hasn’t yet said whether any of these concepts will reach the production line.
Lexus brought several interesting concept cars to the Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo, and the LS Concept is the most striking. It’s a bizarre six-wheeled ultra-luxury van that was recently teased and could potentially spawn a production model. Two other LS-branded concepts were also unveiled: the LS Coupe Concept and the LS Micro Concept.
The current LS is nearing the end of its lifecycle, and Lexus is clearly exploring several ways to keep the LS badge alive. The LS Concept shows what it would look like if it were transformed into a large van, one so big that it would require two axles and four wheels at the rear.
The design is radical, to say the least. Its front end is filled with angular LEDs, as is the rear. Between the front and rear is a long body that bears some resemblance to Tesla’s crazy Robovan concept. While no dimensions have been released, it’s clearly much larger than any other current Lexus model. What’s even more interesting is that the four rear wheels are significantly smaller than the front ones.
We haven’t received any explanation as to why Lexus felt the need to give the concept six wheels, but they certainly spent a lot of time making it as luxurious as possible. Up front, there are two futuristic-looking seats, two digital gauge clusters, and a yoke-style steering wheel. Then there are two more rows of seats, with the rear seats reminiscent of the chairs you’d find on an international business class flight. The louvered side windows contribute to a very serene atmosphere in the cabin.
Then there’s the LS Coupe Concept. It takes the form of a very sleek crossover and also emphasizes luxury. It’s a four-door, but with a twist. Like a Rolls-Royce, it features rear-hinged suicide doors, and an interesting tailgate that opens and extends outwards, revealing a wood-lined storage area.
The cabin is a complete tech-fest. Like the six-wheeled LS Concept, it features a yoke wheel, two digital instrument clusters, and a large display on the passenger side. Behind the two front seats are large portrait-oriented screens for the rear passengers. It also features plenty of wood elements, giving it a Japanese feel.
The third in the trio of LS Concepts is the Micro Concept. It seems the least likely to make it to production and is envisioned as a single-seater, self-driving vehicle perfect for congested urban areas.
Lexus says the cabin opens like a jewel box, revealing a single seat, and like the other concepts, it also features plenty of wood accents. It looks a little claustrophobic, but it’s certainly unique.
