PARIS MOTOR SHOW: So Now You've Seen Every Inch Of The LF-CC's EXTERIOR, Now See The FULL Scoop On Its INTERIOR

Lexus' press release follows:

INTERIOR DESIGN

The LF-CC’s interior hints at the progressive luxury of a future Lexus model cabin layout, and represents a further development of the company’s HMI (Human Machine Interface) design philosophy.

The dashboard is divided into two distinct zones: an upper, Display Zone, with a multi-display screen located at an ideal distance for at-a-glance viewing, and a lower, Operation Zone, which allows access to the uniquely designed shift lever and an innovative touch tracer display for remote system control.

This clear division of zones creates a unique fusion of an airy, spacious cabin and a sporting cockpit which places the emphasis on a snug, highly focused driving environment. All functional driving components are consolidated in the driver’s seat surroundings, combining outstanding ergonomics with advanced HMI technologies.

The driver benefits from a low, highly focused driving position with a sporting, wide grip steering wheel, optimum pedal placement and high-visibility instrument dials. The touch tracer display for remote system control is located directly behind the shift lever for maximum comfort and ease of operation.

Coordinating with the ‘Fluid Titanium’ exterior colour, the seats, door panels and instrument binnacle hood are trimmed in a warm, elegant amber leather finish. The extensive use of metallic finishes and soft touch materials throughout reinforces the premium quality of the environment. The contrast between the exterior and interior colour schemes gives the car an elegant yet simultaneously sporting image.

Steering wheel controls that have no tactle feel? Fail. The steering wheel is one place you shouldn't have to take your eyes off the road to see where the control is at. Need to be able to feel the individual buttons. It's bad enough having controls like this on the dash somewhere.

They call that color Amber? Looks like Orange to me, and I don't like it at all. I know, concept car they go crazy with colors. Just not my cup of tea.

Isn't Amber an orangey-red hue?

Amber color is actually named after the tree resin, which is mostly a hue of Orange, though it may have yellowish or reddish hints. So orange is useable in this case, though its still not what most people have in mind when they think of Amber...

Some of the shots do show a different hue than others. Some have the darker tone that I might associate with amber, but some are just plain orange. It's either the lighting or perhaps some post production adjustment.

You are right, I generally think of amber as like the tree resin. I've never considered that color a shade of orange.

Take away the "dayglow" color skeem and you have a fairly standard dashboard that is nothing special. The silouette is better looking than the interior.The question is if Lexus tones down this car for production on the silouette it will become a rather mainstream looking coupe.

still no thigh extender or bolster adjuster. Strong fail. Typical Japanese, always missing the details, but yet idiots still buy their crap.

No cigarette lighter? No ashtray? No cup holders? That steering wheel is an accident looking for a place to happen.

Lexless FAILS!
