The much hyped Lexus LF-LC Sports Coupe Concept is at the North American International Auto Show, and here are some live pictures of the model taken live at the Detroit event. This new supercar from Lexus is a front-mounted rear wheel drive coupe that uses Lexus’s own Hybrid Drive technology, but the Japanese carmaker did not release any detail as for which sort of powertrain is actually equipping the model, and the Press Release divulged in Detroit surely doesn’t shed any light on the matter .
The aggressive design of the car has been developed at Lexus’ Calty design studio in Newport Beach, California. It uses 21″ alloys fitted with 265/35 tyres, boasts about two inches of ground clearance and seems to be ready to enter production. As for the interior, it looks pretty similar to the LFA, although the LF-LC uses a lot more leather, suede and polished wood. This prototype also has two 12.3″ LCD screens on the dashboard that allow the driver to control the car’s infotainment system while there are another two small screens, one for each side of the cabin, that command seat adjustament, wing mirrors and side windows. Perhaps the passenger compartments is a little too futuristic for today’s standards, but the eventual production version of this LF-LC concept might end up using a more down-to-earth approach.
