Like many high-performance divisions, the Lexus brand has also created a high-performance series based on its own "F division", or has created fewer exclusive models based on this department, which has not made the F-series models like AMG and M-series famous.
Recently, Lexus will build a new model based on the F department and officially release a new car trailer. Although the new car preview information is limited, it can still be guessed by the silhouette that this is a new model based on the Lexus LC.
In fact, Lexus said that it had plans to build an LC F shortly after the brand launched the LC model, and there were suspected new car spy photos of LC F that were exposed.
Only later, due to various factors, Lexus canceled the model plan in 2020.
And with the exposure of the trailer of this suspected Lexus LC "F department", I don't know if it means that this new performance car has plans to resume production?
However, some media revealed that the teaser map released by the Lexus "F department" this time may be to create an F suite of LC to enrich the choice of LC models.
Looking back at the previously exposed LC F spy photos, the new car only has a more aerodynamic kit than the ordinary version of the LC, such as a more exaggerated grille and a full car surround, with a more performance sports hub, so that the new car is less elegant but more wild.
If the Lexus LC F really arrives, it is expected that there will be more surging power in the power, and the LC500 model currently equipped with the 5.0L V8 engine will be upgraded to achieve a more extreme upgrade.
Referring to the power performance of the LC500 model, the maximum power of the new car is 477 horsepower, the maximum torque is 540 Nm, it matches the 10-gear hand automatic transmission, and the drive mode is front-mounted rear drive, which can achieve zero hundred acceleration of 4.4 seconds, which has become the fastest model of the brand after LFA.
However, with reference to the exposure map, it can also be seen that the new car cover is more bulging than the current LC, and it is expected to lay down a more powerful engine for it. According to foreign media, Lexus' new LC F model will be equipped with a 4.0T V8 twin-turbo engine with a maximum power of 670 horsepower, and the transmission system matches the 8-speed manual transmission and is equipped with a four-wheel drive system.
As a two-door performance sports car, it is expected that the arrival of new cars will compete in Porsche 911, Mercedes-AMG GT, Audi R8 and other models.

In view of the fact that the last updated model of the Lexus F series, the RC F, is a model that has been introduced in 2015 for 7 years.
Compared with the continuous updating of high-performance series models by many brands, it means that it is time for the Lexus brand to regain the memory of the F department.
