The one bit of hope is there were LCF test mules spotted that had mid-cycle refresh headlights.
Not sure if LC refresh is for 2022MY and maybe that is when LCF will be introduced. It’s a long shot but but gives this story at least small probability of being true.
As far as LS-F - i would be shocked bec I don’t think there has ever been a test mule spotted of the car.

I remember that and a few of us were really hoping something would come of this LS prototype, Driving a LS460 and hoping one day maybe just maybe we get a F for the LS. We did end up getting the F sport...
I had to pull out the archives but a decade ago (2011) the LS "TMG Edition" as it was dubbed was a Nürburgring-running LS prototype. It had Cologne plates and according to a spied spec sheet, it had a Twin Turbo 5.0L V8 that produces 641hp and 524lb-ft. Nothing ever came of this project as no production prototypes followed, and it could have been a one-off exercise. A real shame.

Again, LC-F isn't cancelled lmao. You guys really going to believe the rumours of LC-F being cancelled but not rumours of LC-F being back on? Especially after insiders have pretty much hinted at the LC-F being back onto development?

Yeah I would too. And bestcarweb has actually been pretty reputable in the past years, whether people accept it or not, and with their renders too as cartoonish as they might be. They've accurately predicted timetables for car launches and are sourced from Japan too.

If people actually believed the IS will have a BMW i-6... I have no words. The only reason the Supra has BMW-engines is because the entire car is a BMW-produced vehicle. Why the hell would an IS have a BMW-i6 lmao. So no, not those "insiders" wtf.

To be fair, I don't know how reputable that is because they don't even source where they got that info from, so I wouldn't trust it regardless. Yeah they quote Best Car but there's no source. And in my experience Best Car has had some pretty on point rumours. And no, that's not the "insiders" I was referring to. There is an insider on the Supra MKV forums that works for Toyota (not BMW) and hinted in September at the LC-F being back on for development.

Well, add that to the ever-growing list of jank rumors from Best Car then.

What we do know as facts are:
1) V8 TT engine exists and was fully developed
2) LC-F model exists and was fully developed
3) Lexus has done its best to kill the F brand.
Unfortunately unlike BMW forums for example- there are no Lexus insiders here and we have zero clue what new products that are coming except for more hybrid SUVs!

So yes, Best Car spouts more nonsense as usual.
