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.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.
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? An LC500 with a 471hp NA 5.0L V8.
You're bench racing a car that doesn't exist against existing production cars with real time data. Yes you are mental.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.
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? LOLIt 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.
Here's my GT-R's too
It's called a direct shift transmission. I'm fairly sure it exists, I have one in my garage mounted in my LC500 LMAO.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.

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
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
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?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.
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? LOLYou 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?
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.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.
You're so amusing.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.

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
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.Slow acceleration? Jesus fucking christ since when is 4.5 seconds to 60 miles and hour slow?
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.Overpriced? Umm have you seen how much the S-Class coupe and the 8-Series cost in V8 guise?
Come back when you can substantiate all the bullshit you posted. I posted my proof cupcake where's yours?
