Lexus 2054

The Lexus 2054 is a concept car designed by Harald Belker for the 2002 Steven Spielberg film Minority Report. Spielberg, himself a Lexus owner, asked Lexus to design a vehicle fitting the year 2054, and Belker worked with Calty, the Toyota and Lexus design studio in California, on an advanced car that would run on fuel cells and have a crash-proof structure and biometric security. In the film the car is shown being built in an automated factory and is later driven by Tom Cruise in several action sequences, and the cinematic concept car also appears in the 2005 film The Island. A film tie-in site proposed a future Lexus that would drive itself, take dinner orders verbally and select music to match moods, and Lexus paid 5 million dollars for the rights to market the vehicle and its brand with the film. The car later appeared at auto shows, and Maisto sold a 1/24 scale model.
