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.

Question isn't the GS being cancelled (I know we have a thread on it)? But isn't this saying 550 HP for the next GSF? If there's a next GSF there has to be a Regular GS rt...?!
No, as I said before,,, those three cars : IS , GS and LS will never be canceled. And if we talk about the GS especially its just a Luxury version of Toyota MARK X, so as well as the Mark X exists the GS will never be canceled.

That is a pretty good point...it still all stems to the media and internet trolls taking one misquoted sentence from Akio and turning it into something else. Akio told his engineers when driving the current GS the first time if that is the best they can do, then just cancel the car. It never was seriously on the chopping block. Trolls ran with it.

The current GS is the best selling generation ever.

This I've gotta see (LC-F). I think there something fishy with the GS-F rumor though. When have you seen Lexus or any other manufacturer switch the motor in the same generation of the car? I don't mean adding another option (e.g. 2.0L turbo and 3.5L V6), I mean getting rid of the 2UR-GSE that's currently in the GS-F for this new TT V8. And if this is true, the RC-F has officially become the red-headed step child of the F lineup. Poor thing.. Lexus sure blew that platform (chassis weight), it had sooo much potential.

Here is the exact quote:

"We’ve been reading stories about an LC F supposedly debuting in Tokyo as well, and I can tell you that it is not true," the Lexus spokesperson said over email.

To me, that just means the car isn't debuting in Tokyo. LC F is happening.

I agree. Hell does anyone care where it comes out at as long as it comes out?! And soonish!

I feel like the real LC F is going to look a lot more different from the RC F and the GS F in styling. All these renderings use the same cues that were used in converting the regular model to F, but I feel like the LC F is going to be more unique since it is a flagship and the designing is too similar.

Thanks for the posts. I also would certainly expect more than 600 HP. a TTV8 sounds like a good option, not as pricey as a V10. Perhaps offer 2 engine options (V8 and V10), but there may not be a large enough market to allow for 2 engine options. To say that this car looks exciting is an understatement, but i agree that orange calipers would really top it off! Clearly Lexus has a number of goodies up their sleeves.

Logic somehow
But I think 620hp will be the correct answer plus or minus 5
