Cool Wild 2054 Lexus from "Minority Report"

This is a Maisto 1/24th scale model of the 2054 Lexus used in "Minority Report"


The model is an exclusive item only available at "The Sharper Image" stores or website. I had to have it when I found out about it. I wish you could get 'em for $6 like most Maisto's to customize or rob for parts...this one's $24.95.


The back looks like the front!


Don't ask me how they see out of it or keep the front wheels from slinging mud down the sides


Interesting to compare w/my built IS300.

Saw this amongst the pics in your photo album the other day and got very exicited!!! I love this car, just a shame there's no plastic kit. I wish more model companies would make concept cars coz there are so many great one's out there, past and present. More than that though, i wish the car manufacturers had the balls to put them into production right now!!!

I saw that model a while ago while on their site, they have some pretty good models. in Washington they had a ton of sweet 1/18 cars like astons, 911 turbo's, Ferraris and so on.

I actually got to see the 'real' 1:1 movie car at last year's L.A. Auto Show, in with the Lexus display. Fantastic, wild design! Shoulda got a pic...

The one I saw here in Atlanta was just a 1:1 scale styling buck, the windows were painted charcoal gray. Wild car nonetheless. There are great pics of it at the following site:

The one we saw had some kind of interior; at least a mock-up...

Yeah, I saw one of these at the Philadelphia Auto Show. But I saw it before Minority Report came out, so I saw it in the movie and I was like DUDE. Although, I'm a fan of being able to tell the back from the front of that car without having to inspect it closely.

Same here, I saw it at the Philadelphia Auto Show. It's very impressive in person..
