Visually, the LF-ZC is a sharp-looking concept car, with its body sporting an array of cuts and creases. The front end features an enclosed grille flanked by edgy-looking clusters for the headlamps. Towards the side, the car features air vents, to enhance its aerodynamic efficiency and a series of sharp angular lines. The roofline of the vehicle is very much coupe-like, with a sharply raked C-pillar and flows down in a very aerodynamic fashion. Lexus says that the LF-ZC has a drag coefficient of 0.2 and will feature tech such as Steer-By-Wire and Direct4 all-wheel drive, as seen on models such as the Lexus RZ.
