Lexus has unveiled a new take on the LF-LC concept — dubbed the LF-LC Blue — at the Australian motor show.

 

The LF-LC Blue builds on the LF-LC coupe concept that debuted at the 2012 Detroit auto show, featuring the same wildly sculpted aluminum and carbon-fiber body. Lexus is calling concept's color Opal blue, a reference to the iridescent gemstones found in Australia.

 

A hybrid-drive system sits beneath all that stunning bodywork. Total system output is 500 hp, which Lexus says is the highest output of any of its hybrids.

 

Lexus suggests that elements of LF-LC, which incorporates technology seen on the LFA supercar, preview future vehicles. The popularity of the sporty concept has even spurred rumors that it will enter production down the road.

What a beautiful car.  If I win the lottery, I'll put my order in for two of them.  Hot, hot, hot!

A whole lot better than that ugly roadster they had a few years ago.

Not everyone has to own one. The fact they are producing a hybrid that produces 500 hp helps them produce a 100hp car with 200mpg in the future.

Most of you are missing the point except for goCU. If you produce something like this that is way over the top that most people can't afford. It leads to the next round of technology for cars for the common man. You just have to think out of the box. Lexus could sell hundreds of these and not even come close to making a profit, they are looking to sell millions of maybe high priced cars but more affordable down the road.
