Lexus SC F: The Future of Performance Coupes

Revolutionizing the Lexus Brand

Lexus is on a roll, adamantly changing their image from offering “plain, civilized vehicles.” After the success of the LFA and the soon-to-be-released RC-F, their new take on performance coupes might revamp their brand image. If rumors are to be believed, Lexus is well on its way to producing a 600+ BHP vehicle based on the LF-LC concept. Touted as the Lexus SC F, this new SC coupe will feature a powerful twin-turbo version of the 5.0 V8 engine powering the RC F.

The LF-LC Concept

The LF-LC Concept was unveiled two years ago as a design study for future Lexus models. Due to the overwhelming positive response, board members are now convinced to put it into production. According to rumors, the new SC series will have three distinct variants:

• Non-turbo V8 base model producing around 450 BHP.
• Mid-size hybrid producing around 500 BHP.
• Top-spec twin-turbo V8 producing north of 600 BHP.

Expected Release Date

The expected release date for the Lexus SC F is 2017.
