Lexus LC F Postponed to 2023?


Japanese magazine Mag-X is reporting that the Lexus LC F has been postponed until 2023 after a decision to convert the coupe into a two-seater.

The logic of this move is lost in translation, but the magazine also reiterates the standard rumors that surround the LC F — it will be powered by 4.0L twin-turbo engine, with an estimated price of $200,000 USD.

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! :)

I think the LC F will probably have a V10, given it's proportions. But it might affect the price, so I'm not too sure.
