Lexus teases Detroit concept

Lexus has released this single image of a new concept car which will make its world debut at the Detroit Motor Show early next year. 

It has been designed by Calty, Lexus' design studio in Newport Beach, California, and is thought to hint at how an all-new luxury sports car could look.

Officially described as "showcasing a new design direction for Lexus" the concept car is very sporty, evolving the look of the latest GS. The headlights feature a trio of circular LEDs, while the wide bumper incorporates a cooling duct for the brakes. 

You can also make out the sharp lines of the bonnet which flow down to meet with a prominent grille. Look closely at the tyre and you'll see the concept wears dramatic 21-inch wheels too. 

We'll learn more about the new car in the coming weeks ahead of its motor show debut.
