Lexus LF-Lc

The replacement for the Lexus LS flagship luxury sedan is now "overdue" according to Lexus executive vice president Mark Templin. Templin played down suggestions that the eye-catching LF-FC concept sedan shown at the 2015 Tokyo motor show gave any strong indication as to what to expect from the Japanese luxury car brand, but he did suggest that the new model is needed. The current Lexus LS dates back to 2007, although it was facelifted in 2009 and again, more dramatically, in 2012.

A large Lexus coupe with plenty of visual similarity to the LF-LC concept has been spied testing on the west coast of America. Automotive journalist Matt Farah spotted the mysterious coupe out on the roads of California and posted these images to his Instagram account.

An evolutionary version of the Lexus LF-LC supercar concept will makes its world debut at the 2012 Sydney motor show. The LF-LC coupe (pictured below) was first displayed at the 2012 Detroit motor show at the start of the year. The second, related version in Sydney will provide further information about a car that’s still three to four years away from production.
