Lexus LF-LC Coupe green lighted for production?

P3280308

This isn’t the latest version of the Lexus LF-LC concept coupe to be shown to the public (the latest was a blue version for Sydney 2012), but it’s still nevertheless a stunner, especially in a sea of silver and grey cars at the Lexus stand at the Seoul Motor Show 2013. The LF-LC was put on a rotating pedestal, while even the mighty LFA was relegated to a corner of the display.

We’ve just heard from Wards’s Auto that according to Lexus VP of marketing Brian Smith, the Lexus LF-LC has been pretty much green lighted for production as a coupe with a price tag similiar to the flagship Lexus LS luxo-barge. If that happens, Lexus will get a sports car again – the LFA is sold out and let’s try not to bring up the bland looking SC 430. An LC 600h with the hybrid powertrain from the LS 600h, anyone?

    Love it, but only if they maintain this current look. The All-new ‘toned down’ IS looks really boring compared to the concept version.

      Lexus is good because it is a Toyota. TO be honest, only gullible donkeys buy Lexus. You can buy the same car for half the price if it is branded a Toyota. Lexus Malaysia still trying to kelentong people that they are so premium. Hiyaa, Hilux and Lexus = no difference.

  • Sure the purest form. Hope the concept design stay true through production car. If I recall, the first Lexus sport concept LFA is such a mouth watering to look at yet when realized into production with so many things tone down, result in such a turn down disappointment exterior. Well, abeit sold out.

    Smart move Toyota@Lexus, finally they realise that producing concept car which never go into production, would just give chance to those korean thief free copyrights, just look how similar the recent Ko”py”rean concept car to this LF-LC.

    I think this car won’t be any better/close to Lexus LFA in terms of performance. If they make it better, then LFA owner will a go suicide. A mass production car is better than a limited edition super high price super car, how is this making any sense?

    Amazing looking car. I doubt those wing mirrors will make it into production but if they change anything else, they’ll ruin it.
