Upcoming Lexus LC F Prepares to Set a New Standard in Luxury Performance
Since drawing quite a bit of eager attention during its debut in 2012, the versatile Lexus LC (still known at the time as the LF-LC luxury coupe concept) has only continued to build anticipation with every whisper and rumor of its ongoing development. Culminating in the big reveal of the LC500 last year, the exciting evolution of this young paragon of performance and luxury is definitely just warming up. Now, to make good on the full high-performance capability of the design, Lexus prepares to release a new LC variation that’s clearly dressed to impress in some big ways.
An Ideal Pedigree
To be certain, the LC500 is no slouch by a long shot. Sporting 471 horsepower and cranking 398 lb-ft of torque thanks to a robust, naturally aspirated V8, the LC500 is a luxurious grand tourer with even more substance than it has style. Considering the fact that the LC stands out as one of the most boldly progressive and well-equipped designs in Lexus’ acclaimed history, that’s definitely no small claim, and we mean it.
Ready to Raise the Bar
Preparing for its official unveiling at this year’s 45th annual Tokyo Auto Show, which takes place in the Japanese capital from October 27th to November 5th, the highly anticipated Lexus LC F has definitely already started to make waves across the industry. As reported by trusted automotive media outlets like Car and Driver and Motor Trend, the upcoming LC F appears to be making every effort to maximize performance. It’s more than safe to assume that Lexus dealers nationwide are already clearing out some prime showroom space!
600 Horses of a Different Color
First, the LC F will be making a big move by stepping up to a downright ferocious new 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged engine pushing 600 horses for 470 lb-ft of torque. Secondly, the LC F is also defined by a more obviously performance-oriented profile, complete with hood, side, and rear vents, a pronounced front-end splitter, fixed rear wing, and brake-cooling ducts. 20-inch race-quality wheels finish things off, cementing the LC F’s status as a vehicle built for performance from the ground up, while never sacrificing Lexus long-proven dedication to luxury and style.
Arriving Sooner Than Later
Arriving at Lexus dealerships shortly after the showcase in Tokyo and just on the heels of the still freshly-minted LC500, the LC F is already rightly anticipated to strongly represent the best of the Lexus mark’s ongoing progress in recent years.
