Lexus LC F to Debut in 2021 with Over 600 Horsepower?

Posted by Kevin on May 29th, 2018

Car & Driver has joined the Lexus LC F rumor mill, claiming that the high-performance coupe will debut in 2021 with a twin-turbo 4.0L V8 “making north of 600 horsepower”. The magazine also expects a 10-speed automatic, plus updates to the torque-vectoring differential and Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) system.

There are other details as well: The LC F will be outfitted with carbon fiber and other lightweight materials to reduce mass, the front and rear will get an aggressive update, and there will be vents in both the hood and fenders.

There’s even speculation on the price — Car & Driver suggests the LC F will have an MSRP approaching $200,000 USD.

My eyes fell off, but orange brake calipers with the F logo would have made it perfect.

Not for an F-badge. The LC is competing with near the best of the best. It dresses the part, but the F version is going to need that twin turbo v8 north of 600HP

Not for and F model. The LC F will be competing with cars like the M6 which nearly has 600hp and the S65 Coupe, with more than 600hp

Every F element looks fine on the LC500 but it doesn't need the side vents at all, they'll spoil the smooth surface of that part.

Given that the F-engine is the basic on the LC500, Lexus could have a secret weapon in its arsenal. I'm hoping for a twin-turbo V8 with at least 560hp.

The LC F will have 600hp minimum. Hopefully we get the convertible RC also.

Of course, the exception is the LFA, but to my eyes, since the LC is offered in "base" with the smooth front fenders, it's not an F without the signature fender vertical scoop on each side. Those are a must! :)
