Paris Motor Show 2012 *— Lexus Press Conference
Paris, France - Good morning and welcome to Lexus!
That video clip reminds us of the pioneering role that Lexus LS has played in the automobile industry. The fourth generation LS continues to set new standards, bringing several technical innovations and enhanced features.
Let me pick out just a few highlights.
The first is the new, bolder design symbolised by a powerful execution of the Lexus signature spindle grille and all-LED exterior lighting.
The interior design is a tribute to Lexus renowned craftsmanship combined with state-of-the art technologies, and includes an advanced illumination system with dynamic LED instrument panel lighting.
The LS also introduces the world’s first multi-zone automatic climate control system. This “Climate Concierge” as we call it, manages the cabin air-conditioning the front and rear temperature and the steering wheel heater in a smart and integrated way.
We also introduced the most advanced pre-collision active safety system of any car on the road today setting a new standard for the industry.
The driving dynamics have also evolved matching the expectations of European drivers. We’ve improved body rigidity and aerodynamics for a more engaging ride and added our first-ever LS F-SPORT for an even more dynamic performance.
The LS powertrains are more efficient emitting less CO2 while maintaining or even increasing power. With 445 DIN hp the LS 600h is the world’s most powerful full hybrid V8.
The LS is our fifth product launch this year following the new GS, ES, RX and LX. We are completely revamping the Lexus line-up with bolder design improved driving dynamics and of course advanced technologies.
Naturally, Lexus Hybrid Drive continues to be our defining technology.
In Europe, the majority of our sales are full hybrids helping Lexus to achieve fleet average CO2 emissions of just 120g/km in 2011 that is the lowest in the premium market by a comfortable margin.
European customers clearly value this direction New GS sales this year are already 4 times higher than the whole of 2011 And new RX sales have helped to bring our SUV volumes back to the record 2007 levels.
Combined with the continued success of CT 200h this is a strong foundation for further growth of Lexus in Europe.
We recently announced the formation of Lexus International an autonomous division with dedicated resources to help speed up the transformation of the Lexus brand through the introduction of even more appealing models.
This new organisation is already producing results!
Earlier this year, everybody fell in love with the LF-LC, a high-end sports coupe concept which demonstrated how emotional and inspirational Lexus design can be.
Today, we are pleased to reveal the LF-CC a mid-size coupe concept previewing future Lexus vehicles in the D-premium segment.
Now, I’d like to invite Mr Kiyotaka Ise, President of Lexus International, and Mr Yo Hiruta, General Manager of Lexus Design, to reveal this exciting new product.
Ladies and gentlemen, here’s the Lexus LF-CC.
-REVEAL SEQUENCE-
Thank you Ise-san for another amazing new concept!
The LF-CC shows a further evolution of our Lexus design language in a realistic yet innovative way.
At the front, you see the boldest-yet interpretation of our spindle grille. The headlamp design features unique triple LED-projectors with daytime running lights integrated into the upper bumper to complete a highly distinctive front appearance.
Looking at LF-CC side on, the sleek profile conveys superior aerodynamic performance while also highlighting traction, agility and dynamic road presence.
At the rear, the full-width bumper flows into the rear wheel arches, emphasising LF-CC’s broad, powerful stance.
Inside the cabin, we created a highly-focused environment featuring innovative ways for the driver to interact with the vehicle for instance using touch displays for remote control operations.
The LF-CC is equipped with our full hybrid powertrain, featuring a brand new 4 cylinder, 2.5 litre petrol engine with D4-S injection technology.
Combining dynamic performance with low emissions this powertrain will achieve class-leading energy efficiency, with more than 2 hp produced per gram of CO2. On the LF-CC this means CO2 emissions below 100g/km that’s lower than any petrol or diesel engine of comparable output.
This engine will be introduced very soon in the Lexus line-up.
The design direction inspired by LF-CC will be applied to future Lexus vehicles in the D-premium segment and you won’t have to wait very long before seeing the first production vehicle.
Moreover, we can also confirm that Lexus is developing a rear-wheel-drive mid-size coupe, to be launched in the near future.
Lexus aims to become an inspirational and exciting global premium brand and we see a bold future in Europe.
Thanks for joining us today we’d be delighted to see you again during the press days here in Paris to answer your questions and hear your opinions.
Thank you.

So reading between the lines :
LF-CC concept----> compact-sized coupe, equivalent to an IS coupe, A5/C coupe/3 series coupe competitor ---> later will also serve as basis for the new IS sedan
LF-Gh concept---->mid-sized sedan (the new GS)----> modified to become a mid-sized coupe, equivalent to a GS coupe, possible SC replacement/A7/CLS/6 series competitor.
LF-LC concept-----> large coupe, equivalent to an LS coupe, possible MB CL competitor ---> later will serve as basis for the new LS sedan????

Entry level coupe, midsize coupe and LF-LC. Amazing things and amazing times at Lexus. 
The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of Lexus creating unique coupe models instead of just "IS or GS coupes", but we will see what they come up with. Using the same chassis and hardware is a given, but it would be nice to see coupes that were drastically more radical from the sedans - significantly more aggressive and sexy sheet metal and design cues. Using a name like "IS Coupe" means the 2 door has to share some identity with the sedan, and while that might not be a bad thing (based on Lexus newfound love for aggression), I do like the idea of giving designers more freedom to create unique models. I would prefer stand-alone coupes vs coupes as an extension of sedans.

Lexus LF-CC Concept is a tidy, welcome look into brand's future [w/video]
Click here to view gallery
Wider and lower than it appears in the press photos, the Lexus LF-CC concept is an exceptionally crisp evolution of Lexus' L-Finesse design language – in fact, once away from the oversized spindle grille, just following the lines of the coupe leads one to think of origami. The coupe takes pointers from the LF-LC concept shown earlier this way and is said to show the way to the aesthetics we'll see on the next-generation IS. Details like the front end that appears to be mostly intake, those uncovered LED headlights, Baroque mirrors and taillights will almost certainly disappear into the good night, but the overall body shape coated in Fluid Titanium hue is sleek, well defined and ready for the road.
Inside is Lexus' next stage in touchscreen interiors, the Human Machine Interface this time broken into an upper "Display Zone" and a lower "Operation Zone." That latter area contains a "touch tracer display" behind the shift lever where the driver can alter his environment with a fingertip.
Underhood is a 2.5-liter, direct-injected four-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor, further assisted by a generator, the whole system tied to a brain that optimizes where power comes from and where it goes. We don't know how much of the rest of the car we'll see, but Lexus says this hybrid powertrain will come to a production vehicle. Scroll below to watch a pair of videos and see the press release for more information.

Press Release
WORLD PREMIERE OF THE LEXUS LF-CC CONCEPT CAR AT THE 2012 PARIS MOTOR SHOW
- LF-CC displays the latest evolution of the L-finesse design language and signature spindle grille, to be reflected in future Lexus D-Segment vehicles
- Announces the market launch of a mid-size coupe in the near future
- Features a new 2.5 litre full hybrid powertrain with class-leading CO2 emissions, which will be introduced soon in the Lexus model range
Brussels, Belgium - Following the unveiling of Lexus' award-winning hybrid 2+2 sports coupe concept, the LF-LC at the 2012 Detroit Motor Show and its European debut at the Geneva Motor Show, a new, mid-sized coupe concept, the LF-CC makes its World Premiere at the 2012 Paris Motor Show.
The more compact, rear-wheel drive, full hybrid LF-CC already integrates various design cues from the LF-LC; a first illustration of how concept cars are truly influencing future Lexus models and, in this instance, future D-Segment derivatives.
Announcing the launch of a premium mid-sized coupe in the more accessible D-segment in the near future, the LF-CC reinforces Lexus' commitment to create more engaging, inspirational vehicles through attractive design, a superior driving experience and advanced technologies.
EXTERIOR DESIGN
The LF-CC showcases the latest evolution of the company's unique L-finesse design language, with the boldest yet interpretation of the signature Lexus 'spindle' grille. Framed by the bonnet lip, deep lower spoiler and powerfully projecting front fender tips, the grille mesh is encased in a deep, metal-finish surround and takes on a pronounced, 3D form.
A unique, 3 LED-projector headlamp design is housed in the narrow gap between the lower and upper fender surfaces, without a conventional, one-piece cover. Independent Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) are fully integrated into the upper bumper surface to complete this unique new design.
The broad lower fenders are aerodynamically sculpted to manage the flow of air to the engine bay and front brakes, whilst reinforcing the powerful, dynamic road presence of the new Lexus signature frontal design.
In profile, the powerful convex curve of the bonnet flows seamlessly through a steeply raked windscreen into a roofline which deliberately peaks towards the rear of the cabin to emphasise the traction available from the vehicle's rear-wheel drive powertrain.
The bodywork is stretched tight between the front and rear fenders, and the rear fender is less pronounced than that of the front, reinforcing the concentration of vehicle weight over the driven wheels for maximum traction.
Further developing a design form initiated on the LF-LC concept and the high-performance LFA, the sharply sculpted form of an airflow regulating fin flows from underneath the side of the car and upwards through the rear wheel arch. This aerodynamic detail is designed to increase downforce over the driven wheels, further improving traction.
The airflow regulating fin merges with the falling roofline in a pronounced rear spoiler integrated within the boot lid, seamlessly fusing design and aerodynamic elements to give the vehicle its distinctive, coupe proportions.
To the rear, the full width bumper flows into the rear wheel arches to emphasise the LF-CC's broad, powerful stance. Lexus-characteristic L-shaped combination lamps feature a layered, strongly three-dimensional design, and the lower, concave bumper section incorporates a full width spoiler to further enhance rear-wheel drive traction. The rear stop lamp is nicely integrated into the shark antenna.
The LF-CC is finished in a new, 'Fluid Titanium' exterior colour, a metallic finish with exceptionally high brilliance which combines sharp, bright highlighting with dark shaded surfaces to reinforce the powerful forms of the bodywork's sculpted surfaces.
INTERIOR DESIGN
The LF-CC's interior hints at the progressive luxury of a future Lexus model cabin layout, and represents a further development of the company's HMI (Human Machine Interface) design philosophy.
The dashboard is divided into two distinct zones: an upper, Display Zone, with a multi-display screen located at an ideal distance for at-a-glance viewing, and a lower, Operation Zone, which allows access to the uniquely designed shift lever and an innovative touch tracer display for remote system control.
This clear division of zones creates a unique fusion of an airy, spacious cabin and a sporting cockpit which places the emphasis on a snug, highly focused driving environment. All functional driving components are consolidated in the driver's seat surroundings, combining outstanding ergonomics with advanced HMI technologies.
The driver benefits from a low, highly focused driving position with a sporting, wide grip steering wheel, optimum pedal placement and high-visibility instrument dials. The touch tracer display for remote system control is located directly behind the shift lever for maximum comfort and ease of operation.
Coordinating with the 'Fluid Titanium' exterior colour, the seats, door panels and instrument binnacle hood are trimmed in a warm, elegant amber leather finish. The extensive use of metallic finishes and soft touch materials throughout reinforces the premium quality of the environment. The contrast between the exterior and interior colour schemes gives the car an elegant yet simultaneously sporting image.
ALL-NEW 2.5 LITRE FULL HYBRID POWERTRAIN
Representing a new Lexus powertrain for future production, the LF-CC is equipped with an all-new, highly efficient, 2.5 litre full hybrid powertrain delivering a combination of the engaging performance appropriate to a sporting, D-segment coupe and low CO2 emissions, targeted below 100 g/km. This powertrain will achieve class-leading energy efficiency, with more than 2 hp produced per gram of CO2.
This Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain features an all-new, ultra-smooth running, 2.5 litre 4-cylinder petrol engine mated to a compact, high-output, water-cooled permanent magnet electric motor.
In addition to the petrol engine and electric motor, the LF-CC hybrid drive system further comprises a generator, a high-performance battery, a power split device which, via planetary reduction gears, combines and re-allocates power from the engine, electric motor and generator according to operational requirements, and a compact power control unit to govern the high speed interaction of the system components.
Adapted specifically for the hybrid powertrain, the all-new 2.5 litre, DOHC, 4-cylinder petrol engine benefits from several technical improvements. It adopts the Atkinson cycle and D-4S direct injection technology to optimise both the power and fuel-efficiency benefits of Lexus Hybrid Drive.
Lexus will introduce this new hybrid powertrain into its model range in the near future.
LEXUS AT THE 2012 PARIS MOTOR SHOW
Besides the world premiere of the new LF-CC, Lexus will also display the all-new LS 600h F SPORT in Western European premiere. The new LS flagship sedan reflects the bolder Lexus exterior and interior design direction, and brings enhanced driving dynamics, world-leading refinement, luxury and innovative advanced technology.
Introduced by Paul Van der Burgh, Director Lexus Europe, the Lexus Press Conference will be held at 8.45 AM CET on September 27 (hall 4, stand 120).

Im lost, can someone explain. The press release states that "LF-CC a mid-size coupe concept previewing future Lexus vehicles in the D-premium segment."
So does that mean the LF-CC is a preview of a GS coupe / SC successor and not an IS coupe as originally thought?

i'm a bit lost on the alphabet soup, but my take is there will be an IS coupe, a GS coupe, and something to replace the SC.
