i kinda like the LC name better. i think it fits the car more than SC.

IMO, SC should be saved for roadster or convertible that would do battle with the SL and 6 series.

Happy to hear that Lexus will bring back the SC...exciting times...

SC 450h/600h? - V6 hybrid/V8 hybrid?
SC F - V8

I hope they make it bigger this time. I think the size was one of the biggest problems with previous gen SC.

I thought that too. LC for Luxury Coupe, but I'm just glad there is a full size GT Coupe coming from Lexus who should have never abandoned the SC to begin with.

Seems likely though I wouldn't count out SC500 or alternative names. The 5.0 doesn't necessarily mean it's a F. Base V8 hp in the 6-Series is 445hp and the S-Class Coupe 449hp* which is 30hp and 26hp less respectively vs this '475'hp 5.0 V8 SC (keep in mind those two competitors will have more torque than this NA V8). A top of the line engine (RC F / GS F) in a less prestigeous vehicle can often times be slated for lower powertrain duties in flagship models.

I wouldn't call the LF-LC "full size". its actually shorter than the S class coupe and other full size luxury coupes. And even shorter than Lexus' own RC.

LF-LC
Length: 182.3 inches

RC
Length: 184.8 inches

BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe
Length: 197.4 inches

Mercedes S Class Coupe
Length: 198.8 inches

Cadillac Elmiraj Coupe
Length: 205 inches

Sorry I used the wrong term my mistake. I meant positioning in the Lexus line 'flagship'

SC seemingly could be pegged against the slated Mercedes-Benz AMG GT (rumored 480 base, 520 amg and 580hp black series) which replaces the SLS (182.6 inches)

In terms of size, the 'LC' may very well still be on the table

idk

the 2 seater AMG GT appears to be more of pure sports car, while the 2+2 LF-LC is more touring oriented.

it could be that a production LF-LC will be larger than the concept and more closer to the size of the S class and that upcoming 8 series.

also being LS related would put it in the same market as all of the above.

Lexus needs a roadster like the Jaguar F-Type or the BMW Z4.
