  • Lexus LF-FC concept, 2015 Tokyo Motor Show

    We expected Lexus to introduce a concept version of the next-generation LS flagship sedan in Tokyo. We didn't expect that it would be a fuel cell vehicle. The Lexus LF-FC concept features a fuel cell stack mounted in the trunk, with the power control unit under the hood and the hydrogen storage tanks running the center. Lexus says this design allows for optimal front/rear weight distribution for a sporty sedan-like feel. In addition to the rear-drive system, the car also has an extra pair of in-wheel motors up front to give it all-wheel-drive capability. No power or range figures were...

    While BMW’s M division has no plans to develop its own version of the latest-generation 7-Series, the men and women at nearby Alpina are already hard at work developing a high-performance version of the new BMW flagship sedan.
