We really couldn't have more words of admiration for the Lexus LF-LC Concept. It was, without a doubt, one of the coolest concept of the motor show scene in 2012.
The LF-LC was a very avant garde creation of the Calty design studio in California. Looking beyond its beautiful lines, great attention to detail was shown. The headlights, for example, are shaped like a old video camera with changeable lenses.
We've been quietly hoping Lexus would make this into a real like car, a bespoke model to rival BMW's 6 Series, but in the typical Japanese way, not on German terms.
The news we were waiting for finally came today, as Lexus’ vice president-marketing Brian Smith told WardsAuto the car is indeed going to enter production.
“That was (intended as) a concept car, and I think it surprised everybody, including us, when Japan said due to overwhelming response they decided to do it. It’s a huge win,” Smith said.
It's too early to say what the engine for this car will be, but we'd point out the concept was a 500 horsepower hybrid, which we think is the way to go considering it will be a halo coupe.
