The Lexus LC 500 may have only just hit the market but the Japanese marque isn’t planning on resting on its laurels.

As a matter of fact, Car and Driver reports that Lexus will take the covers off the rumored LC F at October’s Tokyo Motor Show and that it will go far beyond the current LC 500.

Punch will be provided by a new twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 delivering 600 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque, making the LC F even more powerful than the LFA. This engine will essentially be two 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder powertrains joined at 90 degrees and will later be adopted by the next-generation Lexus GS F where it’ll produce around 550 hp.

Beyond its new powertrain, the LC F will receive custom bodywork including an overhauled body kit, a new hood laden with vents, a fixed rear wing, prominent front splitter and a set of new 20-inch wheels with sticky tires. Six piston brake calipers are also expected.

It is thought that when the LC F hits the market, it could cost almost double the $92,995 LC 500.
