Lexus Concept LF-C

The LF-C luxury sports coupe concept gives bold stylistic hints into the future of Lexus. From the outside, the LF-C strikes an aggressive pose with its broad stance and short overhangs, while the vehicle's interior echoes performance with drive-by-wire steering and Formula-One-inspired styling. Behind this gutsy coupe is of course, a high-output, front-mounted V8 engine with a six-speed sequential automatic transmission.

Taking the sport concept beyond the traditional European formula, the LF-C adds a new element of surprise; at the touch of a button the unique hardtop design transforms the vehicle from a coupe, to a convertible, to a targa or wind-swept speedster-all depending on the driver's mood. The four-position, power retractable hardtop stows neatly into the trunk through a surprisingly minimal rear-deck opening. The LF-C seamlessly blends the road, air and sun into a dynamic statement of futuristic performance and luxury.
