Lexus Exec All but Confirms That the LC F Is Coming This Year
By Brett Foote

We first heard of the existence of the LC F two years ago, but it might finally be happening.

THis thing will have 610hp and cost $120k. The Germans will immediately go to 700hp in an hr, making this obsolete.

I think it'll be more than $120k. My guess is more like $140k.

If it's $120k, it's a great deal, my guess is it will be significantly more than that ...
The Germans already very close to 700hp, like the Panamera TurboS e-hybrid, but thats a $200k car.

Very good point. It will be up there with the German's in price, but lag behind in performance if history repeats itself. I highly doubt this is a Porsche or Maserati competitor and if Lexus is smart, it will stay in its lane and stick to competing against Audi, BMW and MB with its "measly" 600+ hp.

Finally- the car was ready last year and should have already debuted...not sure why it was delayed?

It will have the new 4.0 V8 twin turbo motor - hopefully making over 600HP.

Cool ! Another car for an enthousiast market and internet fanboys that will DESTROY this car's reputation and will start to compare 30 hp against 30 hp.

I have absolutely no interest in cars that are specifically aiming at rich peoples. We already have a ton of those, and they are gotting old very fast. For having tested out the LC500, it has a very limited offering in interior space and is very expensive. Also rather from the slower kind on the track even if already very honorable.

They should simply find a way to bring the IS350 and the RC350 to our market. Or at least have a decent engine offering other than the 300h engine on their flagship models.
