At the 2012 Detroit Auto Show in January, Lexus took the wraps off of the beautiful LF-LC supercar, wowing journalists and industry analysts. As parent-company Toyota pushes Lexus to become sportier, the move starts with the LF-LC, which hints at the future design language for the brand.

Check out more news on the Lexus LF-LC.

Designed at Toyota’s Calty studio in Newport Beach, California, the Lexus LF-LC was originally not planned for production – however, after a very positive reaction it is almost certain that the supercar will be produced.

“There has been a lot of interest from dealers and distributors” a Lexus official said.

Lexus dealers recently received a crystal sculpture with a 3D laser etching of the LF-LC. On the outside, the sculpture reads ’2012 GS Challenge … 27,500 Sales’ – meaning if dealers hit the target they will get the supercar.

 

Either way, even if dealers don’t hit their goals Lexus will produce the LF-LC. Not to mention, Lexus registered the trademark for LF-LC right after the Detroit show.

Many countries have produced supercars with price tags that dip into the six figures, but that rare breed of exotic that fetches upwards of a quarter million is all but completely exclusive to Europe: Ferrari, Lamborghini and Pagani out of Italy, Bugatti from France, McLaren and higher-end Aston Martin models of Britain, top-of-the-line Porsche offerings from Germany, Koenigsegg of Sweden and so on. That's what makes the Lexus LFA so exceptional. It extends beyond the Acura NSX and the Nissan GT-R that previously defined the top end of Japanese supercars and joins its European rivals at the very top of the market. But that, we're reading, is only the beginning.

According to a shadowy anonymous source cornered by AutoGuide, Toyota is already working on a successor to the LFA, and their mole says the car will be even more exotic, more powerful and more expensive. Just what that entails when the LFA is already limited to 500 examples, packs a 552-horsepower 4.8-liter V10 and costs $375,000 has us conjuring up images of an animé take on the Bugatti Veyron. AG suggests the car could nudge the million-dollar mark with production limited to just 100 examples.

Could it be a production version of the LF-LC concept? It's probably too early to tell. In fact, we're going to go ahead and take this entire rumor with a few shakers-worth of salt and advise you to consider doing the same
