It was supposed to only be fully revealed at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit on January 9, but the Lexus concept that is now known as the LF-LC is a surprise no more, courtesy of a leaked image of the car by a publication, which carried the car in its entirety in a digital preview of its latest magazine.
So, Lexus has now brought out an official image of the LF-LC, which is a 2+2 sports coupe that takes the company’s design direction a step further. Conceived as a design exercise to explore the future of Lexus design, the LF-LC was created at the company’s Calty design studio in Newport Beach, California.
“Crafted from a clean sheet of paper at the request of Lexus headquarters in Japan, the LF-LC blends both high technology and organic shapes to connect the driver to the machine,” said Mark Templin, Lexus group vice president and general manager. “The clean lines of the vehicle emphasise motion, creating a distinctive look for this futuristic sport coupe.”
Expect more images to come about, now that the rug has been pulled out from under this surprise. So much for all that teasing …

now we are talking, LFA, LFA Nurburgring ed, GS F Sport, GT86, LF-LC..great release one after another!

Interesting, times like these you wouldn’t expect niche players to roll out more models.
I hope it will be an entirely new set of underpinnings which will later makes its way to the new IS.
i do not like saying this, toyota seems to be making a comeback. continue with the good effort guys in making interesting cars again.
I do not side or against any particular car models, makes, nationalities or countries that the products are being assembled.
Toyota cars are great. They are reliable, strong and seriously, a few older models really have little problems after years in use if they are maintained accordingly. Having said that, I do however not very happy that Toyota become snobbish because of the success they had built and thus just role out products with plain designs and outdated packages coupled with ridiculous pricing for some ‘third world auto markets’.
Whether the sales figures dropped or too many recalls lately served them as a wake up calls or not is not known. But if they are putting their heart to come up with better design products and more attractive packages, which ultimately benefits auto users around the world, why not?
a lot of synergies from GT-86 development I believe…
As pretty as the Italians.
honda should take note, with all their F1 heritage , they should start building car like this…Acura lately have been lookng like refrigerator…
finally a much more affordable LFA!
It looks flawless to me. This is how a sport car should looks like, simple.
