Lexus debuted its LF-LC Concept in Detroit earlier this year, and now they have created the second iteration of the sleek coupe. The new car has been unveiled in Australia and is called the LF-LC Blue. The name was chosen for the new concepts Opal Blue color, and Australia was chosen as the opal stone is found in the Outback. Wasn’t that clever.
Aside form the new color, Lexus has also given the world some details on the two-door. The car will use the Advanced Lexus Hybrid Drive system which uses an Atkinson-cycle gasoline engine, much the same as the base Toyota/Lexus hybrid system. The electric side of the hybrid system is powered by an “advanced high energy battery pack” and an electric motor. Lexus hasn’t disclosed the power split, but claims that total output is 500 horsepower.
