Lexus tried hard to keep us from an early reveal of their new LC coupe but the first photo has found its way on the web.

Details on the new high-performance two-door coupe remain scarce but we expect the new LC to use the same naturally aspirated 5.0-litre V8 of the RC F and GS F which makes 470hp and will probably be mated to Aisin’s new 10-speed automatic gearbox.

This is essentially the production version of the Lexus LF-LC concept, with the company already securing the LC500 and LC500h nameplates with the US Patent and Trademark Office. This should mean that a hybrid version of the new LC Coupe is on its way as well.

From what we can see, the production version has managed to keep all the good things of the concept. The big hexagonal grille, the beautiful extended hips and even the styling of the headlights make the new LC one of the cleanest-looking and desirable models Lexus has ever given us.

Lexus will livestream the world premiere on the link below so stay tuned as we find out more about their new model.
