Lexus has been making strides in making its cars more powerful and more exciting, both physically and visually. Ironically, some of its styling ideas come from a space nestled in the tranquility of Tokyo’s greenery and cherry trees.
Well, that didn’t take long. In January, we got wind that Lexus was planning a hybrid version of its LC 500, which was an award-winning hit at the 2016 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Now comes this news.
The creation of the IS F wasn’t the first time Lexus put one of its V8s in a car smaller than the LS. Sure, they put one in the GS, but the oddity you see here, the 1994 Lexus Landau concept, is even shorter than that.
Lexus Australia’s chief exec thinks the LF-LC convertible would make a fine flagship performance car, perfect for battling the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe.
I have good news and bad news. I’ll start with the good news first: We have an update on the upcoming Lexus LC. The bad news is that the update is in Chinese and I don’t know the language.
