I wonder if they are confused with LS 600hL? Lexus Facebook is somewhat managed by Team One, I believe, so there may be some miscommunication?
Didn't Lexus state 500+hp at the time that the LF-LC debuted?

I see this car targeted for the 45 to 65 year old crowd in the top 2 to 3 % income range
A luxury coupe to take to the nicest restaurants, hotels, arts and recreational venues (not the track) so over 400 HP will suffice

Team One is terrible and often has MANY errors in the Lexus posts on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc, That's what happens in an industry that is dominated by girls in their young 20's that just cycle in and out of places like revolving doors.
Lexus LF-LC Concept- A Preview of the Third Phase of Lexus
The Lexus LF-LC Comes as a Glass Roofed Sports Concept that Supposed to Get a Hybrid Profile
At the 2012 Detroit Auto Show, Lexus introduced its latest concept car LF-LC sports coupe with a humid promotional profile. This time, the automaker has introduced a complex body line up that flows down the body sides of this car. This is really a undeniable success for the existing Lexus platform, where the designers and engineers are attempting to add an extra sportiness to the lineup.
The automaker gave a good idea about its making and details in the auto show, where they mentioned about vertical dot-matrix styled fog lamps, a wavy interior, a 12.3-inch LCD navigation system, touch screen control interface, and mirrored taillights and so on.
Lexus officials claim it as a futuristic hybrid concept car that gets a glass-roofed sports coupe lineup. It is supposed to get an Atkinson-Cycle gasoline powered engine having a great mesh with an advanced hybrid powertrain. To run the electric motor, it will get a powerful Li-Ion battery pack.
In a press briefing, Mr. Brian Smith, the vice president of Lexus said, “The LF-LC was originally intended as only a concept but the overwhelming response to the stunning rear-drive coupe spurred management back in Japan to give it the production green light.”
Lexus says it the third phase of Lexus that will add an extra glamour to the existing lineup of Lexus. To make it less expensive and fuel efficient they have planned to introduce it with a gasoline engine coupled with an electric motor from the existing LS 600h L. In the combined mode, it is supposed to produce approximately 438 hp.
Inside the car, Lexus has featured a driver-focused cockpit, scooped side panels, and a curved console. If anyone seeks for a best looking future concept car, then obviously this Lexus LF-LC would come at the top chart. Enthusiasts believe that it has everything that a production-ready version needs to have.
But, they have not yet announced the exact date to get the production ready version of this superb concept car. Auto enthusiasts are suspecting that right now Lexus needs some emotion-spurring halo models in the market to get a competitive position.
However, you have previously heard about the concept car that may initiate the production-ready version serving the spiritual successor of the SC 430. Now, you are hearing that this concept car has been confirmed for the production.
The pricing of the production-ready version of the LF-LC Concept car supposed to range between $100,000- $130,000. It looks cool at the existing platform, where the LS 600h L comes with the pricing less than $120,000. The automaker aims to introduce it as the rival of the Acura NSX, and Porsche 911. We are not sure whether it can really compete with these models or not. We have to wait to get the production ready version and road test reports, and only then we can confirm the category rivals.
