Powering the LC 500 is a naturally aspirated V8 petrol engine, good for 471 PS (467 HP) and 389 lb-ft (527 Nm) of torque. It allows for a 0-60 mph (96 km/h) acceleration time of less than 4.5 seconds. The LC 500h, on the other hand, uses a 3.5-liter V6 full hybrid powertrain, putting down 359 PS (354 HP) in total, with the help of a four-speed automatic gearbox mounted in the rear. It helps it get from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in less than 5 seconds, or about half a second slower than the V8-powered LC 500.

Looks pretty nice. Some what similar to the current RC. Next level interior as far as the tech/seats is concerned, but the dashboard with what appears to be traction control is a horrible placement. Horsepower is up there with the best. Still not as pretty as M's and AMG's. It does look like SC430 was its predecessor :lol:.

The RCF looks pretty amazing.

The finally put a little power towards this line. Their original version had Sedans out there killing them :lol:
 
They're going to have to price it correctly, this is probably a 6-series competitor?

I love their insistence on putting NA engines but that V8 has to produce more than 470HP, it's the same power as the RCF which is not bad as long as they plan an LC-F in the near future.

They're sedans out there pushing 522 hp as a v-8. There's a stock 3.6L v-6 twin turbo pushing 456 hp.

Lexus better wake up.

I'm excepting more with this. Unless their F-Type are going to add something greater.

I'm guessing the 6-series?

It's really going to depend on the price but I can't imagine this being in the $65k range as it will take sales away from the RCF and it can't be in the $100k range because it's too small for the entry level S-class coupe.
 
Scoop! 600-HP Lexus LC F Coming This Fall

Currently, the 471-hp Lexus LC500 is the brand’s high-performance flagship. But we’ve learned that Lexus is planning more. Set to make its debut at the Tokyo auto show in October is an ultra-high-performance LC F that will feature a new twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 punching out a potent 600 horsepower.

According to our source at Lexus, this high-performance powerplant is in essence two 8AR-type 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engines joined together at 90 degrees. The twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 also will find its way into the GS F—making 550 horsepower—but for the LC F it will be turned up to 600 horsepower, with 470 lb-ft of torque. As with the LC500, the F will use the company’s 10-speed automatic transmission.

The LC F’s bespoke body kit will feature hood vents, air ducts for brake cooling, a fixed rear wing, and an aggressive front splitter as well as side and rear air vents. A set of 20-inch wheels wrapped in high-performance rubber will keep the LC F stuck to the road, while six-piston brake calipers will squeeze the rotors to scrub off speed. We’ll learn more about the hardware on this ultimate Lexus this fall.

While the LC500 will start at $92,995, the LC F could nearly double that figure. Sound expensive? Well, it’s a bargain next to the $350,000 Lexus asked for the LFA.
