Looks fantastic The NX and RX shows that the production model will be close to the concept and thats a very good thing !

Don't think its coming to production like that. Lexus has done that on concepts before. They need to get legal approval first.

Love it! It looks Italian or maybe a little like the new Aston Martin Lagonda in profile! First Lexus of this design language that I can call beautiful!

Also looks like the Remote Touch is in a 3D hologram form in the center console? Freaking awesome if something like that makes it to production. Touch screens are everywhere!


EDIT: It is a hologram. Very cool!

Has anyone seen the dimensions?

Rear seating looks outstanding in terms of luxury

Lexus continues to hit homeruns with their concepts...that front end is stunning!!! and i agree with previous posters that this is definitely not a 4door coupe variant, the roof line is certainly not in touch with that class. hopefully it is the future LS with very little to change.



these comparison pics below make the rear 2/3rds look like a Maseratti...not a bad thing, just observation

I think FC simply stands for Four-door Coupe. Fairly straight-forward to me.

Again, the fact that this concept is named with a "C" while the LS has an "S" should signify their very different market positioning, so unless Lexus is throwing away what LS has always stood for, the LF-FC is not going to be the next LS.

This is so abstract that its more of a showcase of what's coming as far as the driving technologies go.

Anyway its mixture of LF-S and LF-Gh concepts, nothing we haven't seen so far.

The side profile looks a bit plain, maybe its the picture. The rear is a bit awkward. Other than that, its quite gorgeous and stunning.

when they add door handles and mirrors back for production, it will look a bit different.

Yep, dimensions are definitely indicating the next LS in disguise....


LF-FC is nearly four inches longer, four inches wider and two inches lower than the current LS 460L sedan. The growth also makes the concept longer than the current segment leader: Mercedes-Benz’s venerable S class.
