They may be what you call “old news” in the motor show circuit, as the blue LF-LC was displayed at October’s Sydney Motor Show, and before that, at the Detroit show in January (albeit in a different color), with the bronze LF-CC appearing in Paris in September, but there’s no denying that the two Lexus coupes are amongst the most impressive cars at this week’s LA Auto Show.
The bigger LF-LC is a pure sports car featuring a gasoline-electric hybrid powertrain producing 499-horses (506PS) and all-wheel drive. Lexus officials have admitted that they are considering a production version, though no final decision has been reached yet.
Lexus’ second study is the LF-CC for a coupe model based on the underpinnings and mechanical hardware of the next IS sedan. In concept trim, the Japanese carmaker’s BMW 3-Series Coupe-rival sports a hybrid systems comprising a 2.5-liter four-pot and an electric motor delivering somewhere around 200-horses to the rear wheels.
The LF-CC is much closer to production than what you may think, as evidenced by the 2014 IS sedan prototype we scooped last month.
Once you check out the image gallery below, tell us if and which one of the two models is more to your liking.
