eBay watch: Lexus 2054 Concept from Minority Report

Some of the cars that go up for sale on eBay these days are simply amazing and downright strange. Take this Lexus concept car that was designed for the movie Minority Report, which starred Tom Crusie and was directed by Steven Spielberg, an avid fan of the Lexus brand. The inspiration behind the car was a vehicle that would fit the requirements of the year 2054, but beneath the futuristic design is a standard Chevy V6 and conventional manual gearbox.

The auction begins at $88,000 but the price is likely to reach a high-point of $125,000 when it closes in a couple of weeks. This concept is one of just three models that were created for the movie, one being owned by Lexus and another by a studio big-shot. This one's got only 38 miles on the clock and the seller is even willing to fix up the interior for you.

    Stunning looks! very inspiring vehicle that would fit the requirements of the upcoming year, with a ultramodern design of Chevy ebc brakes for a more comfy chevy touch and style.

    Originally, there were just two vehicles. And they were electric powered. I know this because I built the power and drive systems for them. The rear drive was from a Pontiac Fiero, as was the rear suspension, and the front end was an aftermarket Mustang II kit unit. The motor was a 13" Kostov Series wound unit. And if you are taller than 5'6", forget about it. I did hear a rumor that one of the cars was for sale somwhere in Las Vegas, and had a gas engine installed. I was contacted by a third party regarding returning it to electric, but never heard back. The body was designed by Harald Belkar (Batmobile fame)and was produced by CTek in Santa Ana, CA.
