High-Performance Lexus LBX Morizo Rr Concept First Appearance
Lexus revealed its LBX Morizo RR Concept at the Tokyo Auto Salon. If you’re growing a little tired of electric cars coming at you left and right, this is something for the petrolheads.
The LBX Morizo RR Concept has an intercooled turbo 1.6-litre three-cylinder (G16E-GTS) engine with with an impressive 224kW / 400Nm worth of sporty fun. Rather than a manual or an appalling CVT, the LBX Morizo RR Concept employs a Direct Shift 8-speed automatic, and electronically-controlled full-time all-wheel drive. The main problem for many a hot-hatch buyer is the lack of ability for many to fettle a manual. CVTs sap the fun out of a drive, and a DSG/DCT-style automatic can be a little unreliable. Some like them, and some don’t. Reglaur LBX models will be 1.5L hybrids with the afore-mentioned CVT.
The concept was inspired by master driver and Toyota Motor Corporation Chairman Akio Toyoda, aka Morizo. He wanted a Lexus on the drive, but not a fire-breathing V8 on a huge bodied coupe. LBX Morizo RR Concept gets a redone treatment for front and rear bumpers that look the part, as well as helping air flow. Gay buyers love power, but conering also ranks highly in the must-have department. Akio Toyoda loves a sports car and this one is something that appeals to the young mobile gay.
