Lexus previews new design direction with Detroit-bound concept Car News and Review

The Detroit Auto Show is right around the corner, now just a few weeks away. And with each approach day, we get a clearer picture of what to expect when the doors open at Motown’s Cobo Hall on January 9.

Here we have our first glimpse at a new concept car which Lexus will be unveiling at the show. All we have to go on so far is the teaser image you see above (which you can click to view in high resolution) and a summary statement (after the jump), but from what we can tell it looks very aggressive, and rather sportscar-like.

Penned by Lexus’ Calty studio in Newport Beach, the concept is said to preview a bolder new design language for the Toyota luxury division. We’re sure to get more information and a better look as the show approaches, so watch this space for more and feel free to speculate in Comments.
