600HP LC500 May Not Surface Untill 2022 - Why Does It Take So Long For Lexus To Do ANYTHING?

Here’s the one problem with the Lexus LC 500: it’s not a full-on LFA successor. Although we must immediately point out the LC 500’s naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 with 471 hp is an absolute gem and part of a dying breed. The LFA, to compare, came powered by an also naturally aspirated engine, a 4.8-liter V10 with 552 hp. While there have been rumors and supposed spy shots of a more powerful LC, possible an F model, Lexus has yet to confirm such a vehicle will even exist.

Other than to put a picture in a car magazine or on an enthusiast site, is there any reason for them to make this? Does anyone want to buy one?

If it is not in Toyota's parts bin it is going to take Lexus a long time make. Lexus should have stayed with a inline 6 cylinder/RWD to stand apart from Toyota.

The strength of the Japanese culture is also its greatest weakness. As it relates to cars...do it right, do it to last, make it reliable, make it perfect, do it in an orderly manner, don't make a mistake (and loose face). All that takes time.

Easy, because they are too risk averse.

Just look at their stagnating economy for the last 20+ years.

Why does it take Lexus so long? Because they are a lame car company.
