Most of the design work for the Lexus LF-Ch concept that debuted in September at Frankfurt happened at Toyota's Calty studio. Lexus divulged few technical details at the time, other than mentioning it had a "full hybrid" powertrain, but it's obvious a production version of the LF-Ch would fill a much needed gap in the brand's European product offerings -- this would be an Audi A3-BMW 1 Series fighter.
We've reported that the LF-Ch is being studied for the U.S. market as well. If you're curious about it, this slideshow presentation by Calty designers Tom Matsumoto and Edward Lee should be of interest. You won't learn any further product details, but you will learn a bit about how car designers work -- and what they were thinking when they came up with the Lexus LF-Ch.
