In a recent interview with Auto Express, Lexus Europe vice-president Alain Uyttenhoven recently discussed the production LF-LC and how it will compare to the LFA:
“It will not be a full carbon car costing £350,000. It will be – in terms of construction – a more normal car, a car than can be manufactured in larger quantities than just a batch of 500,” Uyttenhoven said. “This shows there will be more emotion from the brand.”
Uyttenhoven wouldn’t be drawn on a time scale for the car, but confirmed that its design “might be very close to the concept,” and that other Lexus F models are in the pipeline…
A production model based on the LF-LC was confirmed as far back as March 2013, with most rumors putting a reveal within the next two years.
There’s even been speculation the new model will resurrect the SC nameplate, and could feature a new twin-turbo V8 generating over 600 horsepower.
