Last week Lexus released two photos of the LF-Gh Hybrid Concept with the promise of details and more photos to come. That time is now.

Making its debut at 2011 New York International Auto Show next week, the LF-Gh Hybrid Concept features an elegant design, but with an assertive presence. All you have to do is look at the front grille to know that this grand-touring sedan means business!

Viewed from the front, you'll find a bold, spindle-shaped grille, unique LED fog lamps and slim rear outlets that follow the curve of the tail lamps from the rear quarter panel. The grille aids in airflow control and enhances the stability of the vehicle, and is a design feature you can expect to see in future Lexus models. Read more

This year's show marked the 20th anniversary of the debut of the first Lexus vehicles, the LS 400 and ES 250. The cars were introduced at the NAIAS in 1989.
