blogentry-114362-0-72159200-1405916970_thumb.jpgLexus' new RC coupe range will soon be joined by another shapely two-door - the luxury brand has officially confirmed that the LF-LC concept will enter into production in 2016.

 

Intended to slot above the RC as a niche-selling flagship, the production LF-LC will retain at least 90 percent of the concept's sleek styling, Lexus Europe vice president Alain Uyttenhoven said.

"The production LF-LC will not be a huge volume [car] for Lexus, but it will bring huge emotion," said Uyttenhoven.

Technical details for the range-topping 2+2 coupe aren't available, but rumors have suggested it will ride on a shortened version of the LS sedan's rear-wheel-drive architecture. Speculative reports have suggested that anything from the RC F's naturally-aspirated V8 to hybridized V6 or V8 engines could make their way under the hood.

It's unknown whether the LF-LC name will make to production, or whether a shortened LC moniker will be applied.

The LF-LC will be part of a Lexus growth plan that calls for a new model every year until 2020. After this year's debut of the NX compact crossover, the RC will follow in 2015, with the LF-LC set to launch in 2016.

The side profile oozes sexiness but we can scrap the front grill. It is as ugly as it can possibly get.

 

Saw a comment elsewhere saying the front grill resembles the Predator.

I might have to agree!

Love the car and I'm glad it will be put into production, but I honestly died a bit inside after reading the title of this article. Toyota already has an unaffordable sports car and now they are adding another, where is my Supra?!!

I think the spindle grille looks pretty ok in this model.

 

It works for some models and looks ridiculous for others, like the new NX

The more I look at it, the more it shouts PREDATOR. Hahaha.

I really like the shade of blue and this digital display looks sick!

Possible new autobot?

It's almost as if that is exactly what their intention was for. Shakes head.

  • Carpark Review: Junction 8

    Built in the 1980s, Bishan (or Bishan New Town) may not be one of the earliest housing estates in Singapore, but it was the first whose HDB architecture saw a departure from the more brutalist designs of the past and featured more variation in height and design.  Residents are primarily served by Junction 8, which opened in 1993. Now more than 30 years old, it remains the sole mall in the Bishan East area. Driving there? Here’s our quick review of the carpark.  Manoeuvrability: T
