T

he luxury vehicle division of Japanese car maker Toyota, Lexus, has introduced its sports sedan's latest special edition that is both unique and eye catching.

The body of the LIT IS model is strangely covered in no less than 41,999 programmable color LEDs, described by Hypebeast as having "more multicolored lights than a Times Square advertisement", which allows it to produce up to 175,000 lumens of illumination and change colors according to music and human gestures.

Dubbed by The Verge as "the world’s most distracting vehicle", LIT IS reportedly was part of the promotion of British singer Dua Lupa's latest video, "Be The One", initiated by the manufacturer and video streaming service Vevo.

“This unique collaboration between Lexus and Vevo showcases the Lexus IS as an incredible work of art, technology and design through the lens of a music video," said Lexus in an official statement.

The vehicle is unlikely to ever hit the road, but check out the video below to marvel at its attractiveness anyway. (fmn/kes)
