#NYIAS: Lexus IS LIT Is Next-Gen Car Art — This Is What 42,000 LEDs Looks Like Plugged In

Although we're not at Art Basel in Miami, you wouldn't know it if you walked over to the Lexus stand. That's because the Japanese luxury automaker presented its own take on car art.

This is where the Lexus IS LIT steps into the picture.

Built for a music video and promoted by Lexus and Vevo, this IS has just under 42,000 LEDs wired up. While I am sure that painstaking amount of detail is already overwhelming for some of you, it gets better. That's because the visuals can be controlled via gesture. Pretty far out if you ask me.

Having said that, check out these great snaps, which show not only some amazing colors but the up close wiring. Agent 001 even made sure to snap how the system works — look at all that wiring!

I guess Lexus will go to any length to disguise how hideous their new grille design is. But to end on a positive note, they deserve an "A" for effort.

The only thing missing on this ghetto garbage crap pile are the twenny-fous.

We all know how Lexus has been really desperate for attention the last few years but is this a April fools joke or is this what Lexus designers came up when they were on crack?
