Holy fuck. The amount of misinformation and the conjectures you're making is mind-blowing. Dude. Who told you this information? We knew this shit from forever ago. Seems like you're just trying to butt in yourself here with your shitty facts. The LF-LC concept was showed in 2012 you nonce. It literally doesn't even take a Google search and yet you made yourself look like the biggest dumbass on the face of this earth. Like now you're completely are just twisting things and are arguing about points that I don't even care about. Get this in your head, THERE WERE TALKS AND MUMBLES OF A TTV8 FROM ALL DIRECTIONS INCLUDING CORPORATE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THIS DECADE. GOT IT? HOLY FUCK.
Facts are just that, facts. They cannot be refuted therefore how can they be anything to the contrary? The LF-LC codename 950A at the 2012 Detroit Auto show was merely a reveal of a prototype in the making and was NOT an official debut smart guy. Calty Design Research were the ones who brought it to the auto show for analytical market interests initially. It wasn't until 2013 that the prototype design was delivered to Toyota Technical Center in Aichi, Japan for revisions. Official debut of the LF-LC was in 2015, following the LC500's formal debut in January 2016 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

Oh and all the bullshit you read from articles like this one back from 2014 from Motortrend were just that, BULLSHIT RUMORS.

LF-LC to get 600hp twin turbo V8 printed in the article yet what actually was manufactured? An LC500 with a 471hp NA 5.0L V8.



Oh really now? I'm mental eh? A LC F can easily wipe the competition and you're not even giving me examples of how the LC F is unable to beat a Porsche and Audi.
You're bench racing a car that doesn't exist against existing production cars with real time data. Yes you are mental.


It seems like you're refusing a truth and are spreading lies as a result of that. The GTR is a boat in terms of mass and it is still competitive against lighter cars as well.
A 2013+ DBA GT-R has a base 565hp and 467 lb-ft with all wheel drive, a dual clutch transmission with a launch control of 4,200rpm. Thus the reason it can produce a fast 0-60 and 1/4 mile time with it's massive 4,050 lb. curb weight. The LC500 has 471hp and 398 lb-ft and a curb weight of 4,465 lbs. with rear wheel drive and a conventional auto. Still need further explanation here? LOL

Here's my GT-R's too

A single direct shift transmission? There is no such thing as that. Did you just combine a single-clutch and a torque converter and made up a new name? Jesus fucking christ.The current LC 500 is mid to high 12's in the quarter mile. You're seriously suggesting that another 200 horsepower and 200-300 lb-ft of torque is only going to make it faster by 0.5-0.8 seconds? The notion that the amount of work that they're putting into this car and still coming up short is not only ridiculous but very asinine.
It's called a direct shift transmission. I'm fairly sure it exists, I have one in my garage mounted in my LC500 LMAO.
https://www.lexus.com/models/LC/features/10-speed-direct-shift-automatic-transmission

LC500 running mid to high 12's? Yeah on a 100 shot of nitrous Ha! Other than that not even close. They run 13.3-13.4 in the real world of drag racing. I'm certain you read an article on Motortrend stating they did a high 12 1/4 mile with their loaner LC500. You realize these publications are in bed with the manufactures right?

I have a full bolt-on LC500 with Toms drop in filters, PPE equal length race headers, PPE catless mid-pipe, Tom's Titan exhaust it ran a 13.1@112
LC500-drag-time-slip-13-1-112mph-first-time.jpg

Again, without nitrous or boost the LC500 isn't even coming close to hitting a mid 12 second 1/4 mile unless you strip the interior to bare shell, swap the battery out for a lighter one, pull the passenger seat and run 19" wheels on drag radials then and only then it might possibly hit a mid 12. A tune on a full weight LC500 would only drop maybe a tenth to two off my 13.1 so 12.9 on a good day with a prepped track and that's a full bolt-on LC500. Again, you clearly have no concept of what you are spouting off here. Keep reading misinforming articles on Motortrend and argue with an actual owner of an LC500, real smart. LOL

Cite your sources. I want to see them. You're taking shit out of your ass and I know it. The base LC already is better than a DB11. The McLaren GT makes a boat load more power than the Lexus, and to an even greater extent so does the Ferrari. The competitors in the LC F's class is the ones I mentioned before.
Every auto enthusiast publication has taken the LC500 head to head with a DB11 as it's in the same class, a grand touring coupe. The McLaren GT and the Ferrari 812 are 'GT' cars numb nuts. If and when an LC-F comes out it will most definitely be a GT class that will go head to head with the former cars I mentioned. Are you that obtuse?

You don't understand how Lexus and Toyota work. They over-engineer the shit out of everything. Why did it take ALMOST A DECADE for them to finally reveal the twin-turbo V8?
Silly boy. You'll eventually learn not to trust leaked information online as it's all speculative misinformation with exaggerations from over excited journalists who are seeking ratings for their column by viewers. You're such a little cheerleader aren't you? LOL

You already saying all other kinds of bullshit already makes me dismiss you as an idiot, also how you bitch and argue with so many other people in the forums, but to also say that Tada-san is developing the LC F makes you look even more stupid. Tada-san has nothing to do with this project lol. Yikes you're clueless.
Tetsuya is most definitely involved in the developmental phases of the LC-F and more so for their upcoming LC-F Super GT class which is to replace the LC500 GT. You assume because the information isn't readily available through a quick Google search that the information shared isn't valid. I'm sponsored by Tom's of Japan have access to a little more information than you but okay.



I guess I'm clueless because I don't care about your non-existent build. Oh really now? Paste a link here. You don't own a LC, because what you said is complete bullshit.
You're so amusing.

Slow acceleration? Jesus fucking christ since when is 4.5 seconds to 60 miles and hour slow?
Anything in the 4's in 2019 is slow where have you been? A 1998 Toyota Supra TT did 4.6 0-60 with only 320 hp and did it 20 years ago. Whoop de doo da.

Overpriced? Umm have you seen how much the S-Class coupe and the 8-Series cost in V8 guise?
Yes a car that runs a 1/4 mile in 13.4 seconds and weighs 4,465 lbs. for $106,000 is overpriced. A 2018 BMW M6 has similar amenities as the LC500 was $118,000 MSRP came with a 4.4L V8 TT with 560hp, runs a 3.8 second 0-60, is 50 lbs. lighter not to mention aftermarket tuning support.

Come back when you can substantiate all the bullshit you posted. I posted my proof cupcake where's yours?

LMAO. I know everything about the development of the LC. But I am still perplexed by how you think it was "revealed" in 2015 when THE MANUFACTURER themselves say they debuted the car in 2012. But go ahead. Be ignorant.

Oh and all the bullshit you read from articles like this one back from 2014 from Motortrend were just that, BULLSHIT RUMORS. https://www.motortrend.com/news/production-lexus-lf-lc-to-get-600-hp-twin-turbo-v-8-variant/ LF-LC to get 600hp twin turbo V8 printed in the article yet what actually was manufactured?

Why do you think I would only read my sources from MotorTrend and such? Are you forgetting insider information?

You're bench racing a car that doesn't exist against existing production cars with real time data. Yes you are mental.
No you dumb motherfucker. I'm pointing out you pointing out (an incorrect) comparison of the LC being a competitor to a Ferrari 812 but refuting how it cannot fight a 540c. You do realize the 812 is one of the fastest and most expensive cars on the market right? You're the mental one (and surprise surprise, you didn't respond because you knew I was right regarding the EV argument) for making the comparison of a ~160k LC F to million dollar EV's. Wake the fuck up idiot. There was no argument of what the LC competes with in the first place. You started the bitch fight.

It's called a direct shift transmission. I'm fairly sure it exists, I have one in my garage mounted in my LC500 LMAO. https://www.lexus.com/models/LC/features/10-speed-direct-shift-automatic-transmission
You mentioned single direct-shift. I know what they call the 10-Speed you moron.

LC500 running mid to high 12's? Yeah on a 100 shot of nitrous Ha! Other than that not even close. They run 13.3-13.4 in the real world of drag racing.

Multiple publications do quote the LC doing high 12's. Personally, I find MT to be pretty unbiased, except some reviewers having biases for other brands. Like Jonny Lieberman and him dickriding Aston-Martin wheras the LC was the deserved winner.

You seem to have a boner against MotorTrend. Go seek some help. And yeah maybe you need a driver mod lol.

Nope. You are though. For comparing a car that reportedly costs less than half of the Ferrari 812 and the McLaren GT. :)

Silly boy. You'll eventually learn not to trust leaked information online as it's all speculative misinformation with exaggerations from over excited journalists who are seeking ratings for their column by viewers. You're such a little cheerleader aren't you? LOL
I mean I have my sources and I trust them. But ok sure. Be an ignorant bitch. XD

You assume because the information isn't readily available through a quick Google search that the information shared isn't valid.

Well to be honest, you're the first one ever to mention in the open that Tada-san had a hand in the LC F project. So yeah I'll leave it at that.

You're so amusing.
Have you looked in the mirror lately?

I can continue posting a plethora of validating videos for the next year but what's the point of sawing off a handicaps other leg other than for mere pleasure for adding insult to injury. Picked the wrong dog Jr. LOL
Lmao. You took it to heart. You're quite fragile for an owner of so many cars and having that much information.

Anything in the 4's in 2019 is slow where have you been? A 1998 Toyota Supra TT did 4.6 0-60 with only 320 hp and did it 20 years ago. Whoop de doo da.
You're fucking insane. The A80 Supra IS ONE THOUSAND POUNDS LESS THAN A LC500 YOU DUMB BITCH. HOLY FUCK. YOU EVEN PROVE IT BY STATING THE LC'S MASS IN YOUR NEXT QUOTE YOU STUPID ASS BITCH. YEAH GO MAKE THE LC 1000 POUNDS LESS AND IT WILL GO IN THE MID-HIGH 3'S. BUT THEN IT WILL LOSE THE QUALITIES THAT MADE IT A GREAT LUXURY CAR.

Yes a car that runs a 1/4 mile in 13.4 seconds and weighs 4,465 lbs. for $106,000 is overpriced. A 2018 BMW M6 has similar amenities as the LC500 was $118,000 MSRP came with a 4.4L V8 TT with 560hp, runs a 3.8 second 0-60, is 50 lbs. lighter not to mention aftermarket tuning support.
The tuning support is only because of the turbos lol. Also the LC starts at $92,000. With the Performance Package the price goes higher by only a little. And if it was overpriced, why the fuck did you buy it? You're mad over a decision that YOU made. You're whining but you're not even considering the true craftsmanship of a car that you supposedly own. The car was built as a labor of love, and the LC is luxurious yet capable. Not capable yet luxurious. Still, for a car of that caliber, 4.4 seconds to 60 miles an hour is still fucking fast. I honestly think you're a kid that has your dad's computer and you're spewing shit. You're insane for thinking it isn't fast or quick. It's still faster than a 650i, S-Class Coupe, base 991 911's. For what it is, that's perfectly adequate and acceptable. Is it the fastest or the quickest car in the world? Absolutely not. Is it impressive for being a 4400 lbs car, having a NA engine and being a beast in every single aspect and goes for 4.4 to 60 mph and does high 12's to low 13's? It's amazing. I would be thrilled to buy one for myself.

Come back when you can substantiate all the bullshit you posted. I posted my proof cupcake where's yours?
I did. Before, and now. Surprise bitch.

An LC Performance Package is $114,000 with all options plus tax title and license. The difference in cost from the base to final cost is more than you will ever see in your lifetime penis breath. In 2017 the specific specs on the LC500 were limited.

Supposedly own an LC500? You're such a twat of a troll. Did you not see the time slip, videos and magazine links posted? You think I just randomly shared someone else's car? Were you fed paint chips as a kid douche nozzle? The LC500 does not run 0-60 in 4.4. seconds either regardless of what some magazine states online. They're full of shit. A time slip from a public track is real data. Magazines conduct tests in controlled environments with prepped tracks and often change tires among other thing for better times. A Porsche 991 911 Carrera does the 1/4 in 12.4@115 how is that faster than the LC500's 13.4? What school did you go to for math?

Do you even own a fucking car? Are you some teenage or 20 something liberal cocksucking Hillary supporter? I bet you're one of those unhinged liberal cunts with piercings all in your face who shows up to those Trump protest spouting off ignorant and moronic bullshit because you Googled everything about Trump. Your mother should have swallowed when you left daddy's nut sack. I didn't bother reading the rest of your juvenile tirade here it's a waste of my time. I won't respond to any of your post again either. Your 5 minutes with me is over. Find another way home pizza boy. LOL
