Lexus Confirms LF-LC Concept Is Going To Make It To Production - Will It Do Better Than The IS-F?

Lexus has confirmed that it will put the stunning LF-LC concept, first seen at the 2012 Detroit Motor Show, into full production. But according to Alain Uyttenhoven, Vice President of Lexus Europe, it will be a far more accessible model than the short-production run LFA supercar and go up against the likes of the Mercedes S-Class Coupe and Maserati Gran Turismo.

“It will not be a full carbon car costing £350,000. It will be - in terms of construction - a more normal car, a car than can be manufactured in larger quantities than just a batch of 500,” Uyttenhoven said. “This shows there will be more emotion from the brand.”

Stunning car, it even makes the dumb grill look, well not so bad. If Lexus can keep it at about $80k the should have a hit.

Tone down the front and rear end a bit so it is not so shouty/look at me and that will be a really nice entry for Lexus into the luxury coupe market. Overall shape is quite beautiful, interior is intersting... Thumbs up here,

Against the S-Class coupe and Gran Turismo? Why not against the 911 and AMG-GT?

The biggest issue is that the styling is 3 model years old and the car isn't even out yet.
