Resharing this nice video by Lexus on the design process of the LF-LC concept from 2012 (I can't believe it's been 4 years since the concept was revealed!):


Edit: And I also can't believe the rumors that the production car will look better than the concept. CALTY did an amazing job!

one thing ive always liked about the lexus concept cars, many of them make it to production and the production ones are often nicer and flashier than the concepts!!! usually goes the other way around

I'm actually not surprised at all and that's why I'm excited for this car. The concept's exaggerated features didn't sit well with me and I think they'll be better expressed in production form. It's going to make a great statement at Detroit.

Sounds like the 5 liter V8 in RC/GS-F for sure. This exhaust system has a slightly different tone without that softer deep bass rumble. More like a true sports car than a tuned family car.

LC 500 ?

Looking forward to this and all the other unveilings coming out way. I just moved to the Detroit area on a temporary basis, hopefully I'll have a day to spend at the auto show.

It better be something amazing if they are going to hype it up like this like a turbo v8 or a v8 sounding turbo v6. Would be funny if it turned out to be an ISF that was kept so secretly that Akio himself didnt know about.
