Lexus Readies To Bend The Germans Over And Spank Them With A 600 HP LC-F

Cue the sneers and jeers from the Germans-are-invincible crowd.

I cannot wait to see the LC and an LCF has to be even more delicious.

well, this will certainly makes things very interesting and could really increase Lexus' image exponentially. If they can keep the weight down (since the LC500 is meant as a GT), then they could really have a foil for the AMG GT R/black Series and the like. If this comes to fruition, this will definitely make things interesting in a very good way. I wonder if they'd remove the back seats to save weight.

also interesting from the article is that Lexus may be creating an "FS" designation to truly compete with AMG, M, and RS.
