Lexus LF-CC concept confirmed for production

Lexus LF-CC concept

A Lexus source has recently confirmed with Autocar that the LF-CC will get a production version and it is expected to hit showrooms in 2015.

Accordingly, the production LF-CC will probably be offered as a coupe and cabrio. It will be based on the same RWD platform as the new IS and GS models, probably using the IS’s shorter wheelbase and the GS’s wider track. Most likely, it will be a hybrid, using an updated version of the GS’s 350h drivetrain which develops 300 hp. Meanwhile, styling will be kept close to the LF-CC concept that you can see in the images below.

The source also admitted that the Japanese carmaker was seriously studying building a compact SUV similar to the Land Rover Evoque, but at the moment this idea is "still being considered" mainly because of the doubts that such a model would fit in with Lexus’s future sporty aspirations.
