Default The new Supra

This isn't a new LFA. That car was something else, a handmade obsession to detail, and there probably won't be another like it. Sniff...

This car is more like a reborn Supra, a high performance coupe cruiser with luxury thrown in. I like the interior and exterior styling but the powertrain choices are lackluster. They should have made a high power hybrid or plugin LC500h to go against the i8. Now that would be a proper halo car for Lexus.

The LC500 is the volume model. An LC500h with a 3.5L V6 and Hybrid system north of 450hp will be announced in the near future.

I don't know how to share an Instagram image on mobile. But gorgeous Photoshop of the LC 500 in black with gold trim and Vossen rims.

Awesome look car! Lexus definitely step their game up on this one. The craftsmanship and details are superb on this car.

I like how the whole tail lights exudes the silhouette of the F logo. Very detailed!

Good catch, I didn't even notice it until you brought it up. Yes nice attention to detail.

Seize and lexgs45 were kind enough to render the LC in a few different colors

Enjoy:

I wish they had the concept designers at kelty do the actual car. They also designed my favorite lexus, the SC 400.
Except for that grille and the over designed headlights it looks goooood.

I really love the interior with the exception of the steering wheel which looks like more spokes and buttons than grip.

2) Why the LC moniker, instead of SC? Does that mean the BMW/Lexus venture will bear the SC then? So you would have the RC as the compact, the SC as a pure performance sports car, and the LC as the luxo GT?

Still very impressed, even more so then the original LF-LC concept!

In 1.5 years the next-generation 6-series prototypes will be seen out on the road undergoing final testing. A power bump is a given.

Well they could release it for sale in like Nov or Dec 2016, but then 3/4 of the country will be cold or frozen. Makes more sense to hold off on it and release it in the Spring. Besides gives them more time to fine tune the chassis.
