Lexus LC News
-
Lexus has confirmed plans to debut a new vehicle at next week’s 2016 Detroit Auto Show.

For those that had expected a totally new Lexus concept to come forth down under, we're sorry: this is the LF-LC Blue Concept, which is primarily different from the LF-LC shown at Detroit this year in color only. We do, fortunately, get a single new spec, however, finally elucidating the power of the LF-LC hybrid drivetrain, the Advanced Lexus Hybrid Drive. Rated at 500 horsepower combined (Lexus doesn't break it down into combustion engine versus electric motor figures), Lexus says it's the most powerful of any of its hybrids. It also claims the battery pack is smaller and more advanced than...

Lexus LF-LC Live On Display At The 2012 Detroit Auto Show

It's not intended to directly preview any production model, and it's certainly not a thinly-veiled production-ready car. It's also pretty daring in its details. And it's a hybrid. Beyond that, there's not a lot to...
