The popularity of the dramatic Lexus LF-LC concept has significantly boosted its chances of making production, Autocar has learned.
Senior bosses at Lexus parent firm Toyota insisted at the LF-LC’s Detroit show unveiling in January that the hybrid 2+2 coupé was strictly a concept. But an emphatically positive reception — including winning the public’s ‘best in show’ award at Detroit — has led to management discussions over “how we can do it” in production.
Speaking to Autocar after the LF-LC’s successful European debut at the Geneva show earlier this month, Lexus product planning chief Karl Schlicht rated the LF-LC’s chances of making production as 50/50. Detroit Auto Show Photo Gallery Detroit Auto Show Photo Gallery

Just checked the Lexus website and the SC is no longer sold. A Ferrari Superamerica type roof would work on something like this concept.— chewy (View Profile)
