Recently, Lexus revealed a mysterious teaser photo on Instagram, although the photo is darker, but it can be seen that the prototype of the car and related information can be seen. The rear half of the car has a wide side body, and the use of a relatively low body, the most important thing is that there is a clearly visible F badge behind the photo, speculating that this car may be Lexus's flagship sports car LC F.
Lexus had registered a patent trademark for "LCF", but it was cancelled due to non-delivery of updates
Since its release in 2016, the Lexus Luxury Coupe LC series has been announcing the launch of the performance flagship LC F, and Lexus registered the patent and trademark "LCF" at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in 2017, but was cancelled in August 2020 due to non-delivery of updates. From the trailer photos revealed by Lexus this time, it seems that LC F will have a great chance of re-emergence.
The LC F is powered by a 4.0-litre V8 twin-turbo engine with a maximum horsepower of 660 hp
The current performance flagship of the LC series is the LC 500, equipped with 5.0 liters of V8 naturally aspirated power, with a maximum horsepower output of about 470 horses, and according to previous news, the LC F will be equipped with a newly developed 4.0 liter V8 twin-turbo engine with a maximum horsepower of 660 horses. At present, this engine has been registered as a patent in the United States, and in the future, in addition to the LC F, IS F and LS F are likely to be equipped with this high-performance engine.
There is no detailed information about LC F, nor is it revealed when it will be officially released, but with the release of the trailer photo, it can be estimated that Lexus will have a series of LC F restart plans; it is worth noting that this photo is posted on Lexus Racing's Instagram channel, suggesting that LC F may be brought to the racing track for tuning.
