Hold on to Lexus and the Japanese, because they are determined to revolutionize the sports car market: The new Lexus LF-CC goes into production.
Presented in September at the Paris Motor Show, and now at the Los Angeles Motor Show, the new LF-CC will begin to be developed in 2013, but unfortunately for the more dramatic, only in 2015 will we get to know the final lines of this sporty hybrid.
Although not yet confirmed, we can almost guarantee that this LF-CC will come in a cabrio and a coupé version. Based on the rear-wheel drive platform of the new IS and GS (of course with some modifications), it's expected that the LF-CC will be presented with a hybrid engine to deliver over 300 hp of power.
A source at the Japanese brand said that "the company wanted to find a replacement for the old SC, and that this LF-CC would be the ideal car to fill that place." This same source also admitted that there are already plans to create a compact SUV that will measure forces with the Range Rover Evoque, however, it is not known for sure if Lexus is willing to insert this new SUV in its showroom. offers. We can only wait and see…
