2015 Polaris Slingshot SL LE – Open-Air Speedster Thrills From $25k!

Concept Flashback – Lexus LF-LC in 77 High-Res Photos – Future LF-C?

When looking closely at the 2011 and 2012 Lexus LF-LC concepts, you see clear influences all around toward the latest RC. You also see the design from these advanced studies throughout the Lexus line for 2015 – with everything from the GX to the ES and LS wearing a giant spindle frame grille and arrowhead lighting elements. There is more to these beauties than just the nose, however: they share the exact proportions and hard-points with the vaunted LF-A supercar. Are these designs intended as a second-generation LF-A?
