The LF-Xh, as you can see, is slightly similar in looks to the Lexus IS-F that debuted at the Detroit auto show earlier this year.
The LF-Xh is an all-wheel-drive, hybrid-electric vehicle with a V6 gas engine. The vehicle promises "outstanding driving performance, quiet operation, high fuel efficiency and low emissions." Well, of course it does. It's a concept car, after all.
