A new coupe is coming to replace the LC and RC?

Lexus wants to keep coupes? The brand still has LC here, or even RC in other markets. But as the RC was launched in October 2014, the current generation is starting to gain traction. Especially compared to its competitors.
He seems a little overwhelmed. In fact, it seems outdated. Otherwise, there is also LC since 2017. In fact, the current generation of Lexus LC is slightly above RC in terms of sophisticationluxury or even fashion.
But like her younger sister, she has aged. However, Lexus is said to be creating a successor to this revolution. But this next example may not be the alternative we can expect.
And a lot of rumors have been floating around the Web for a while now. But new information from our Japanese colleagues shows that Lexus intends to replace the RC and LC.
One example to compensate for two. This reminds us of Mercedes’ KEY strategy. Indeed, it is a clever hybrid between the C-Class Coupé and the E-Class Coupé.

A heated Lexus Coupe?

It is not known what the new model will be called. But according to our colleagues in Best Carits size will probably be similar to that of LC.
Without surprise, The expected 5.0-liter V8 for the RC F and LC 500 will be discontinued. Unfortunately! Instead, we should get the V6 hybrid powertrain with 3.5 liters of displacement that is already available in the LC range.
Obviously, we think Lexus will improve it a bit. In addition, the rumor in question claims that Lexus may even offer a special edition 3.4-liter twin-turbo V6.
It’s the same engine we find in the new Lexus GX and the 2024 Toyota Tundra, sold on the other side of the Atlantic, but not in our region. An 8-speed automatic transmission should be the only option available.
We are also talking about the architecture of the type of propulsion, even if the all-wheel drive version is not excluded. Like RCs and LC Currently, the new model should be a 2 + 2 coupe.

The new Lexus coupe: what we already know

Our Japanese colleagues indicate that their sources indicate that it will have an elegant design, and that a convertible version is also being considered. This future sportier model should measure 4,800 meters long, 1.9 meters wide and 1.35 meters tall. We are even talking about a wheelbase of 2.87 meters. As this is a rumour, it is difficult to know how such accurate information could have come about. But we want to believe! Especially since Lexus did not disappoint us with the LC500, especially thanks to the atmospheric V8 that sounds! There is also no indication of how much the new model might cost.
However, depending on its performance, its positioning in the market and its technology, it will probably be in a good position above the current RC and LC from Lexus. And we understand why: the entire automotive world is seeing its prices increase. So if the service and technology improve… there is no reason why the price should not go up with it! It will continue.
