just a random thought, but in light of the recent unfortunate demise of the LC F, perhaps the engineering gurus at toyota
would consider trying to stuff one of their v 10 s left over from the lfa into an LC....
i mean, they gotta have a few left lying around and the r&d has already been done on that
sweet little short block screamer...

 

The v10 would never fit in the LC - not to mention that engine alone costs over $100k at least.

 

oh, i dunno, an LC with a hand made 9000rpm v10 for around 200k sounds downright appealing,
and would sound unbelievable to boot

 

VERY random thought -

 

The remaining V10s were produced for lifetime service support. Being a naturally-aspirated, high-revving engine designed for linear torque delivery, the 1LR-GUE is also a bad fit for heavy vehicles. As it is, the LFA is already quite heavy for a supercar.

The supposed V8TT for the supposed LC-F would be a much better fit, and cheaper, too.

 

It would be pretty cool if they made the V10 work. That engine sounds incredible.

 

Still just a rumor, but... don't hold your breath for a V10, or a V8 for that matter...

I would love to see a one off, someone out there must have some spare change . Is there any detailed spec's on the LFA engine cheers.

 

Just search for "1LR-GUE", plenty of articles, e.g., https://blog.lexus.co.uk/a-closer-lo...-the-lfas-v10/

It is not possible to source a 1LR-GUE engine from TMC, so TMC would have to do any project cars themselves.
