I am only whining and crying because I want the LC F to be amazing. I want it to be raved about, and receive all of the praise it should get. I want it to be #1 in car comparison tests, and leave the reviewers just speechless without anything stupid to complain about. The RC F deserved the harsh criticism it got; LEXUS made some strides, but still did some not so smart things with the RC F. And I am still bitter about the lukewarm reception of the GS F, it got compared to a CTS-V Sport... AND IT CAME IN SECOND. (Seriously, WTF. Not even a CTS-V) The GS F is an GREAT car, it didn't deserve that. It was one review, but still, it was published.

More than ever, I believe Lexus has big plans for the F Performance brand -- there is absolutely 100% no way that Lexus will drop the 2UR engine in this new halo car. NO CHANCE. At the risk of repeating myself, the LC F represents the next chapter in Lexus performance. Whatever engine they end up using...
my problem with lexus is that they keep testing the 5,3 L version of the v10 for 2 years and half and then suddenly remove all the LFA with all it's R&DWhile I also think they'll go the turbo route, I wonder if they'd ever consider dropping the LFA V10 in there and tweaking it a bit. Or tweaking it a lot. A fellow can dream, can't he?
Beautiful rendering!!! I don't think the LC F will look that aggressive. However, I think that a possible Nurburgring Package could offer more performance and more aggressive aero like this rendering. This rendering doesn't have the F symbol near the fender and it doesn't have the Classic F fender vent. Also, it doesn't have the same type of hood as the RC F or GS F. I feel like the sexiness of the rendering makes up for the minor inaccuracies though.

Is she wearing a cape?
That looks like a cape
I'm assuming it's a cape.
BMW M and Merc-AMG are subsidiaries (Actual Companies) under their respect parent companies. The F Marque is a model designation, it's not a company under LEXUS. Yeah there is a head engineer for the F cars etc... and we get the 5.0L V8, (which clearly isn't exclusive to F's anymore) but I feel like the cars suffer to SOME degree because it's not a true performance division dedicated to wiping the floor with AMG and M. I kind of feel it's why we get a heavy, Frankenstein'd chassis/more of a Sport Grand Tourer, than track beast RC F. Or why we get this "Low on Power" despite it's killer chassis GS F. I see this whole Lexus Gazoo Racing thing, but it is no where close to what AMG and M do in motorsports. In fact, the whole way Toyota does things is all sorts of confusing... Why is there a TRD USA and a TRD Japan, but ONLY the TRD Japan puts out a lot of kick ass aftermarket stuff for the F cars, the CCS-R/P (That we can't even get in NA w/o paying ridiculous prices for...) why not just make TRD Japan (Toyota Technocraft) the actual F Tuning Division since they are already an actual TOYOTA company making stuff for the F/F Sport cars, LOL.

So I don't want an LC F. Unless it's being built to make a serious statement to walk away as the king of the Halo Performance models.
