3. LBX MORIZO RR CONCEPT

 

The LBX MORIZO RR CONCEPT is based on the new Lexus LBX, a segment-defying compact vehicle that redefined the conventional notion of luxury cars when it went on sale in November 2023. It is equipped with Lexus' first 1.6-liter, inline 3-cylinder engine with intercooler and turbo (the G16E-GTS) and is a concept model with further-honed basic vehicle elements that enable the driver to interact with the car and pursue driving fun. Working with Chairman Akio Toyoda, otherwise known as both Morizo and master driver, the aim was to retain the high-quality driving performance and sophisticated design that is unique to Lexus, while creating a high-performance model that would allow the driver to enjoy interacting with the car, smile spontaneously, and experience a sense of extraordinary exhilaration.

Its turbocharged engine and full-time AWD deliver heart-thumping torque-filled power that can be fully brought to the fore thanks to wide-ranging exclusive developments that covered the vehicle's packaging, body, suspension, tires, AWD control, and Direct Shift 8AT automatic transmission. Also, using technology cultivated through air racing, the bumpers were shaped to achieve a high level of aerodynamic performance and styling that evokes the essence of pure driving performance.

In keeping with the theme of the TGR and Lexus exhibit, the LBX MORIZO RR CONCEPT underwent customization unique to Morizo's beloved car by way of applying Morizo's signature color of yellow to the plated molding of the front "Unified Spindle", brake calipers, and seatbelts, resulting in a car that embodies casual luxury and that Morizo himself could enjoy on weekends as a trusted partner, like his favorite pair of comfortable, well-worn sneakers.

...mi stavo chiedendo cosa fosse Morzio... poi ho letto Morizo... ah.. ok..

Sarebbe una Yaris GR più pratica e con un accenno di bagagliaio. La quadratura del cerchio.

Venivo giusto dal topic della 600 Abarth..questa ha senso!

A me non piace, perde l'eleganza della linea originale senza avere l'appeal di alcune sportive.

[GL91]

Questa costerà una fucilata (perché per me la faranno, altro che concept) ma potrebbe essere veramente un'auto pazzesca.

[nicogiraldi]

Come fà a non piacere un auto che ha il soprannome del proprietario della baracca???

 

 

Grande Akio......

 

 

Ps se fanno una bella 600Jaki edition , non ci montano manco gli interni per guadagnarci di più 😛 

[RayLaMontagna]

Se la fanno davvero, la prendo in sostituzione della mia NX. Sarebbe la mia personale quadratura del cerchio 😂.

 

Mi chiedo però se oltre al gruppo motore/cambio e magari sospensioni, avrebbe le stesse doti dinamiche di una Yaris GR che, ricordiamolo, ha un po' un pianale tutto suo figlio incestuoso di Yaris e Corolla  

 

Detto ciò, secondo me, così non la fanno, ma potrebbero aver spoilerato il look che avrà una eventuale F-Sport.

Io per fortuna non sono uno che va particolarmente di fretta, quindi credo che mi accontenterò - quando succederà - della versione normale, ibrida.

 

Però questa sembra proprio cazzuta, anche se alcune modifiche sono un po' tamarre.

 

[RayLaMontagna]

sembra già pronta per la produzione onestamente...anche negli interni. (molto belli con i sedili sportivi e la pelle color cuoio.
