Where does Lexus go from here? How can they ever top this?
That's what people said about the LFA too, and then they launched this.
They'll find a way.
Lexus tried hard building a futuristic coupe like BMW but the lexus turned out to be an ugly, overweight, slow shitmobile.
>How can they ever top this?
Simple: They put a V8 in the new XF50 LS like they should've done from the beginning.
>How can they ever top this?
Put 350HP in the CT and BTFO Golf-R, Civic Type-R and the RS3.
Do they even still sell the CT?
It's the most sold Lexus in Eewrope

Nevermind me, I'm a faggot, it's the NX
What if they just went full retard and stuck the V8 in a GT86, upgrade some stuff, lux it up, the SC 500.
$65k or so, completely obliterate every other coupe in its class.
SC has to be a hardtop convertible. The Toyobaru is too damn small to accommodate a V8 and vert hardware.
I'm really not sure why they aren't doing this.
Maybe they're just waiting for enough suckers to buy the V6 for a couple of years first.
It's called downsizing
Not a literally engine swapped gt86, retard. Just borrow the platform.
*bows*
Just as stupid.
Yeah because no one ever put a really big engine in a small frame and made a good car out of it. Oh wait that's the basis of almost every super car ever made.
God this would make my dick so hard. I would put a down payment on one instantly. I sat in an F-Sport version the other day, and if it wasnt for the anemic hybrid engine I would buy one. Even if it only had 200hp I would still seriously consider it.
They do still sell it overseas though.
Where's that ring king time, surely the LC500 is faster than a beetle with bodykit, r-right?
>guaranteed replies
It simply wouldn't work for wearing Lexus' "SC" badge. They just need to shorten the LC and reduce weight.
>BMW i8
>not as ugly, overweight, slow as the LC500
i8 weighs ~3370 lbs, LC500 weighs 4370 lbs
i8 does 0-60 in 4.0 seconds, LC500 does 0-60 in 4.4
i8 has no meme predator grille
i8 has no gaudy interior
i8 has scissor doors
BMW did the futuristic coupe first and they did it better.
>the LC500 is faster than a beetle with bodykit, r-right?
Yes, just give it a dank bodykit
>bmw i8
>engine noise is just an mp3 played throughout the plastic interior
the i8 is fucking gaudy as fuck, so I don't know what you're talking about.
LFA is better, even though it's expensive as balls
