I'm no enganeer but I'd guess just a single turbo could jack our HP to the 600 HP area. That puts its HP solidly in the IMSA race Prototype range.
Pardon my sacrilege but if 471 HP isn't "enough" for public roads, 600 HP should be.
I think a single turbo could be done to the LC with no downsides other than cost.

I got rid of my RS6 with twin turbo V8 tuned to 750HP for the same reason. This NA V8 puts a lot more smiles on my face and over the years will save thousands.

As expected nearly no change. Iridium is a new color. Some additional under bracing. That’s about it.

Was hoping for a bit more, but at least the LC remains with us for at least another year. Also hope they change out the f’ugly base wheels, or at least the color pattern. We’ll see ….

iridium shows up as green on Autotrader filters which annoys me to no end. It’s silver!

Probably the same bracing as the 2024 Inspiration. It’s pretty substantial actually.

Have you been able to compare the two? IS bracing vs regular?

So no atomic silver which was my 2nd color choice (after yellow). And no trans cooler, even as optional add on (which I was hoping for 2025 hence waited so far)... LC lives for one more year but given the changes made for 2025, probably the last year!! Probably...
All the ones in-transit to dealers at the moment still showing as 2024 in CarEdge. I am hoping the window stickers will start showing as 2025 when they arrive...
