It’s been less than two months since we entered a new calendar year and Toyota is arguably the busiest automaker out there. While on one hand it decided to axe the Scion sub-brand, on the other hand it is working on an expansion program for the Lexus division, which received a brand-new member at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show. It is called the LC 500 — it’s drop dead gorgeous, and sports the RC-F’s naturally aspirated V-8 under the hood. We’ve already speculated about the possibility of getting an LC F and LC 500 Convertible in the coming years, and Lexus has just announced that the luxury coupe will go hybrid.
The first derivative of the LC 500 family will break cover at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show and, unsurprisingly, will be sold as the LC 500h. The new vehicle will expand Lexus’ hybrid lineup to no fewer than seven nameplates, but more importantly, it will become the company’s first two-door with a blue badge on its nose.
Lexus has yet to unveil specifics, but did release a few photos of the LC 500h, which is also based on the LF-LC concept. In addition, it announced that the hybrid coupe will debut alongside the LF-FC study, which made its first appearance at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2015. The LC 500h will break cover on March 1st, so make sure you stick around for the full rundown. Meanwhile, keep reading to find out what we already know about Lexus’ first hybrid coupe.
