Lexus Listens To Feedback And Considers Production Of LF-LC Concept

The popularity of the dramatic Lexus LF-LC concept has significantly boosted its chances of making production, Autocar has learned.

Senior bosses at Lexus parent firm Toyota insisted at the LF-LC’s Detroit show unveiling in January that the hybrid 2+2 coupé was strictly a concept. But an emphatically positive reception — including winning the public’s ‘best in show’ award at Detroit — has led to management discussions over “how we can do it” in production.

Speaking to Autocar after the LF-LC’s successful European debut at the Geneva show earlier this month, Lexus product planning chief Karl Schlicht rated the LF-LC’s chances of making production as 50/50.

Hope they dont tone it down too much and keeps the interior styling.

They should definitely replace the current SC430 with this model.

Agreed. The SC can't drag on too much now can it?

Just checked the Lexus website and the SC is no longer sold. A Ferrari Superamerica type roof would work on something like this concept.

Its not a question of if they are going to do it, its when can they have it ready for production? They have to do this car.

In similar news, when asked would they consider building the Emerg-E concept based on the positive feedback it received, Nissan responded . . . "nope".

This is the first Lexus since the 1992 SC400 that I have lusted after. Please make it and I'll return to the Lexus fold.
