well if this really does go into production..I'm really hoping for a new, smaller Lexus coupe. I'd love to see a Supra-sized version of this car with the L logo and maybe a 3.5L 350 horse V6 or maybe an aluminum block 4.0 V8 with 400 horse..put it mid level. Have the FT86 be the basic Toyota RWD sports car, then the larger, Lexus version maybe Lexus GT350 or GT400, and then the top line Lexus LF-A. Maybe a Toyota FT86 Celica..300 horse 6 speed..a GT350/400F..450-550 horsepower 8 speed, and then of course the LF-A..one can only wish though..
i would totally get one
heck thats what the next SC should be

that slot won't make it to production though. that probably won't pass safety tests.
i wonder if that side vent will make it to production, and if it doesn't, i wonder what they're gonna do with that hole in the fender.
cuz if they fill it out, it will look bland as hell.

First time seeing these pics. That front end is awkward as heck. 
The rest is not bad. I like the simple interior. 
I am just glad that Toyota seems to be following through with this coupe.

Since this is a sports car, I could easily see the brake vent making it to production. The hood might be slightly redesigned, but the overall shape and style of the hood should be no problem for production.
The A-pillar slot probably won't make it to production, but it's still a unique design cue.

It is looking pretty good from those pictures but I am sure it is going to be toned down pretty heavily exterior and interior wise by the time it is production ready.

The only case I could see Lexus making for the platform would be in a roadster. With forthcoming IS and GS coupes there wouldn't be much room in the Lexus lineup for something like this, IMO.
It's a shame they cant build the CT on this chassis...
