Following last night’s uncovering of the LF-LC Concept via a magazine teaser video, Lexus partially caved in and released a single teaser photo and some additional details on its new 2+2 seat coupe study.

The full size picture confirms our suspicions that the LF-LC gets Lexus’ hybrid drive system, while it also becomes clear that the styling mixes elements from the LFA supercar and the production and concept GS sedans.

“Crafted from a clean sheet of paper at the request of Lexus headquarters in Japan, the LF-LC blends both high technology and organic shapes to connect the driver to the machine,” said Mark Templin, Lexus group vice president and general manager.

“The clean lines of the vehicle emphasize motion, creating a distinctive look for this futuristic sport coupe,” he added.

Crafted at the company’s Calty design studio in Newport Beach, California, the LF-LC is said to have been conceived as a design exercise to explore the future of Lexus design, but we wouldn’t be too surprised if it leads to a more focused successor to the long-gone SC series.

The LF-LC will make its world premiere at the 2012 Detroit Motor Show during the second week of January.
