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.

Guys you don't just take an engine and slam it in a car, the LFA V-10 was created specifically for the LFA. It is DNA of the LFA.

They would never harm the LFA by putting that engine (now old fyi) and putting it into something else. That is a supercar engine, one of the greatest ever made.

I dont understand why they have not turned the LF-C2 into the RC Convertible. My guess is that they're waiting for the update for the RC since the concept shows slightly different styling in the rear and front bumper. Ive seen so many people that want a convertible, and since Lexus offers no brand-new one, they go to BMW, Mercedes, etc. Also, I agree an NXF would be hot! or an RXF! and as always, BRING BACK THE ISF.
They also need to redo the GSF. I can't be the only one who is slightly disappointed with the rushed performance of the GSF.

Regular LC F should have around 550 hp to compete with S 63 Coupe and M6.

LC F higher performance model (Nurburgring Edition, Performance Pack, etc.) that raises horsepower to 600+ to compete with S 65.

Thats the ideal LC F for me.

I have a strange feeling that total power is going to be over 600HP.

Not through Twin Turbos alone but because I have a feeling that they will use Hybrid Energy as well.

That to me would be the smartest thing they can do.

For now, this should be the new direction for F performance vehicles. Use everything you can to produce the power you need. It used to be the V8s alone which was cool but it should be TT V8s with the addition of an electric motor.
