The Lexus LF-A is one of the most important cars that Lexus has worked on in recent years. The LF-A project started in 2000 but experienced radical changes throughout its development years.

The Chase is a short film by ISG about a girl, a helicopter chase and a Lexus IS-F. Sounds like a good recipe to me. Obviously there isn’t a plot to the video but there are some great action sequences and the ending is gold! Video after the jump.

With every year you can always expect another Edmonton Motorshow, a car show where the dealerships bring their new cars to impress potential customers.

A new collection of Lexus adverts has hit the web. The collection is titled “The Hard Way” and gives consumers a look at how Lexus cars are engineered. Although most of them aren’t all that interesting, I found the “Chain” commercial to be amazing since it was create in real life rather then with CGI. It’s also the only commercial with behinds the scenes look at how Lexus made it. In total there are 12 videos so make sure to grab a snack before sitting down to watch theses.

In mid June, you may have heard about the tragic death of Hiromu Naruse, the chief test driver of Toyota. Lexus has created a tribute video in remembrance of the test driver, highlighting his ambitions and accomplishments at the company. Unknowingly to some, Hiromu was responsible for giving feed back and helping develop nearly every single sports car that Toyota has produced. Hiromu was truly passionate about his pursuit of perfection during his time at Toyota. Video after the jump.

Sharpies were the in thing, but looks like that’s about to change after this video came out. Talented graffiti artists Bam and Vogue apply their spray painting skills on a IS350 with impressive results. Rather then styling the car with a single theme, each half of the IS350 features the unique style of each artist. Thanks to Ill Motion for the heads up! Video after the jump.
