👀 wonder if we'll get a pre-production concept soon like the LFA/LF-LC

 

[dylanfoos]

I can only wait so much longer…

 

[JustADude]

Wonder when we'll see the LFR debut.

 

[dylanfoos]

Probably will be lucky to get another update before Christmas...

The LC is a 100K car. I don't see this one being any less than 150K, if it has TTV8. So it is no RC replacement. The RC did actually quite well for Lexus both in sales an brand perception. No having a successor is worse than not having an IS successor, but both of those cars yet remain important for the time being.

I consider it an indirect successor for both. It'll be succeeding the RCF GT3 model for racing and taking the LC's spot as the brand flagship.

It'll be it's own thing in its own part of the market.
RC and others I can't see going anywhere without leaving a gap

I wonder if it'll have SSB considering that it'll be so expensive and it'll be out around 2025. With SSB and by 2025 standards it should have at least 800hp imo. Lexus is late to turbo V8s so it'll have to be good

 

[dylanfoos]

150k seems like the sweet spot…

 

[CRSKTN]

US$200-250k is what I'd guess it starts at

 

[Kelvin2020]

Maybe next year Tokyo auto show, since the LFA also unveiled there.

 

[dylanfoos]

5 months isn’t a bad wait!

 

[CRSKTN]

2023 is going to be a busy year here

 

[dylanfoos]

I’m ready for the year ahead!

 

[Kelvin2020]

And yet people doubted me when I said that's what it will be named as......

On that note... it's a front-engined McLaren P1.

I suddenly thought of the SF90. Do you see the LFR is a direct competitor to SF90

 

[F1 Silver Arrows]

In terms of raw power numbers? Yeah, it should.

 

[Kelvin2020]

Hope we can see something from the upcoming Tokyo Auto Salon

Just an update on this... The application has been published, of course. And, we have 10 more days of the opposition period left. After this, I think we may start to hear more about the LFR .
