It’s hard to keep quiet on a new, cool-looking sporty concept car. Especially one that was given to Road & Tracklate last year for exclusive access weeks before its official debut at the 2012 North American International Auto Show. And here it is finally in the public eye—the awesome Lexus LF-LC concept. The LF stands for Lexus Future, and the LC stands for Luxury Coupe. And we can now share the story behind the story, with great photos and videos in our magazine and on our website.

On the show floor, while the bright red LF-LC looks sharp under the ballroom lights, I have to say that the concept car’s complex and intricate exterior bodywork can’t be fully appreciated. When I saw the car outdoors under the sun at Calty weeks ago, the tumbling body surfaces of the car are much more apparent. With the LF-LC, there was definitely excitement within Toyota and Lexus, and it was also apparent among the media at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show.
Few added details were revealed at the LF-LC press conference, besides a confirmation that the Lexus concept is powered by a front-engine, rear-drive advanced hybrid drive. Will Lexus build the LF-LC? Or see some of the styling cues and technology pass down to future production models? Certainly the latter; and we hope the former.
