Lexus Drops Another Official Photo of LF-LC 2+2 Hybrid Sports Coupe


Following last night's uncovering of the LF-LC Concept via a magazine teaser video, Lexus partially caved in and released a single teaser photo and some additional details on its new 2+2 seat coupe study.

The full size picture confirms our suspicions that the LF-LC gets Lexus' hybrid drive system, while it also becomes clear that the styling mixes elements from the LFA supercar and the production and concept GS sedans.

“Crafted from a clean sheet of paper at the request of Lexus headquarters in Japan, the LF-LC blends both high technology and organic shapes to connect the driver to the machine,” said Mark Templin, Lexus group vice president and general manager.

Detroit Show Lexus LF-LC Sports Coupe Photo Scans Leak on the Web


While Lexus was planning a slow strip tease for its 2012 Detroit Motor Show-bound sports coupe concept, the folks over at Autoblog.com discovered a video teaser from the 2012 February issue of Road & Track magazine, giving us our first look at the car, which will carry the LF-LC moniker.

We don’t get any additional information on the rakish concept model, though in one of the photos, it looks like there's a "HYBRID" badge right in front of the rear wheel arch.

Lexus has previously told us that the design of the LF-LC would hint at a new design direction for the brand's future models.

Lexus Drops New Teaser Photo of its Detroit Motor Show Concept, Looks Like it's a Coupe


We got our first glimpse of the new concept model Lexus is readying for the 2012 North American International Auto Show in Detroit with a cryptic teaser picture of the car's front end on December 12.

Today, Toyota's premium brand released a second image, this time showing the as of yet unnamed concept model's interior. What’s important about this image is that the teardrop shape of the window line suggests we're looking at a two-door coupe model.

Lexus Teases New Concept Car for 2012 Detroit Motor Show – What Could it be?


'Tis the day for the concept announcements. Following Acura's and Honda's lead, Lexus also revealed its plans to debut a brand new concept model at next month's 2012 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

And while Lexus was kind enough to give us a cropped teaser image, the Japanese automaker did not provide a lot of information on the study other than that it has been designed by Calty, the company’s design studio in Newport Beach, California, and that it showcases a "new design direction embraced by Lexus".
