Lexus teases upcoming LF-LC concept with first official image

By Amir Iliaifar December 27, 2011

Okay, so we don’t really know too much about the Lexus LF-LC concept, other than it was ” crafted from a clean sheet of paper at the request of Lexus headquarters in Japan” and that it was “conceived as a design exercise to explore the future of Lexus design” at Lexus’ Calty design studio in Newport Beach, California. But, with Road and Track leaking some tantalizing images and Lexus subsequently releasing the first official image of the new two-plus-two concept, the only thing we can say with certainty is that the suspense surrounding the LF-LC concept has us eagerly anticipating it’s official debut at the upcoming Detroit Auto Show.

For now, though, we just have to be content with these images, but as the Detroit Auto Show nears we’ll be bringing you more information on the Lexus LF-LC concept.

[Please Note: The first image in the gallery is the official image released by Lexus and the rest are the leaked images courtesy of Road & Track]

Mercedes-Benz G580 first drive: old-school off-roader goes electric

2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 from three quarter view.

American car buyers mostly know Mercedes-Benz as a luxury brand. But for decades, the automaker has also produced the tough, rugged G-Class (also known as the Geländewagen or G-Wagen), an SUV not afraid to get its leather upholstery muddy. And now, this iconic Mercedes is going electric.

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology — the final name of the SUV previously known as the EQG — isn’t the first electric off-roader. The Rivian R1S and R1T and GMC Hummer EV have proven that electric powertrains and off-roading are a great combination. But the electric G-Wagen is different because it’s based on an internal-combustion model — and a very traditional one at that.

70mai Smart Dash Cam 1S -- $40, was $50

The 70mai Smart Dash Cam 1S is the cheapest option in this list, but it doesn't feel like it because it's packed with features. The dash cam, which supports microSD memory cards of up to 64GB, records footage at 1080p Full HD resolution with night vision capabilities thanks to its Sony IMX307 image processor and f/2.2 aperture. With its built-in G sensor, the dash cam will detect an accident and lock footage to prevent overwrites. You can use voice commands to ask the dash cam to take photos or to start recording videos, and you can use its accompanying app to watch real-time footage and to download files to your phone.
