Default Odds on a LC F Sport Performance for 2023?

So we know that Lexus announced a much more fleshed out F/F Sport tier level, but there hasn’t been much product to back it up.

https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1134068_lexus-f-to-introduce-4-levels-of-performance

Some packages could easily be renamed for the F Sport Design and F Sport Handling levels, but F Sport Performance should come with something.

I hope we see this become a reality, I think I’ve settled on a LC but would really love a bit more power.

LC is so much F that there is no f sport trim.

I’m hoping they do something for the LC since they cancelled the LC-F. Toyota/Lexus is just so slow when it comes to anything that isn’t a generic egg shaped crossover.

Zero chance of a proper F car imo, but small chance of a LC F sport trim final edition perhaps? But given how cosmetic all the limited edition LC500s have been these past few years, I doubt a final edition would be anything worth waiting for. Probably some fancy interior colours, maybe a new wheel design or funky spoiler at the most

I agree with @breplica . Most likely no major changes except for aesthetics and perhaps some minor tweaks/improvements to suspension or transmission tuning. Nothing to the point of making an F Sport Performance or F version....As @355F1 mentioned, I'd be surprised if they even have another model year for it. This would also lead me to believe that I doubt they will have a next gen LC...

The LC will be one of or the last NA V8 desirable vehicles manufactured.

If they were planning to introduce a new trim, they would've done so by now after 5 model years. Also with the supply chain shortages and production halt at the Motomachi plant, I'd be surprised if the LC itself will be around much longer.

From everything I read I doubt they cancel the LC, more like they squeeze out a few more years until they have a new halo car ready or close. I also don’t believe they cancelled the twin turbo V8, so what’s it going in? I imagine a LS-F is still possible.

I’m hoping my order goes through for a 2022. Ordered January. Originally a 4.5 month wait time, but now 6-9 months.
