Yep , we already posted on this last night. Its nice, i just think the grill is overly done. I am afraid we will not be able to afford this vehicle either. Rumors have it the vehicle will be competing against audi R8, Mercedes AMG SL. Probably in the ballpark of 90 -110k and with lesser performance than a nissan GTR for sure!

No way lexus makes this vehicle close in performance to the LFA which is at 550 and the GTR is already at 530 or 540hp, a much better performance vehicle at the price compared to LFA. So i dont see the LF-LC going past 500HP. Looked promising but i am no longer interested in it, id rather spend 90-100k on a GTR.

Are all the concepts lexus comes out , going to have this overly tacky huge grill?

Driving a GT-R is like riding on a roller coaster. Yes it is blistering fast but it's mostly computer doing the work for you and you're mostly a passenger who just happens to have a controller in your hand to direct where the rail goes. The LFA on the other hand is about connecting the driver to the machine, and there's a much higher level of precision and refinement in the LFA that the GT-R simply can't match. If C/P ratio is all a car is about we'd all be driving a 'Vette.

What you said plus the materials in the vehicle are much better higher quality. However doesnt mean its worth paying 300k thats all i am saying.

Check out the new photo. I do like the car, i just hope lexus gives it a competative price, say under 70-80k, a low body weight with 450-500HP i can accept.
Sorry the pic is so big, i dont know how link and shrink at the same time lol

If the Toyota ft 86 does well I think we will see a supra version of this car.

Lexus should just build this car. It would seriously change the market perception of the Lexus brand. Great looking prototype.

Just saw this thing in person last weekend at the DC Auto Show... Yum
Technology is amazing. Lexus has really put its game face on, with the IS-F, LFA, F-Sport Line, new GS, and now this ... Let's just hope the price tags are a little more forgiving than the LFA

If Lexus can make the prices as competitive as the technlology and appeal of their cars, nothing will beat them. Period.
