雷克萨斯将在10月的东京车展发布LC F高性能车型。据说该车的成本是售价92992美元的LC500的一倍。这款车在今年晚些时候发布意味着将于明年初上市。该车不会搭载LC500的351千瓦/471马力5.0升V8自然进气引擎或者LC500h的264千瓦/354马力3.5升V6引擎。该车将搭载新的4.0升V8双涡轮引擎，这台引擎基本上是两台2.0升涡轮增压引擎的组合体，最大功率约为447千瓦/600马力，扭矩637牛米，与引擎搭配的是十速自动变速器。除了动力系统升级，LC F外观也更具侵略性，包括带散热孔引擎盖，制动系统冷却槽，固定尾翼。据内部人士透露，该车引擎声音类似Super GT赛车版。与LC标配四活塞卡钳不同，LC F将提供六活塞卡钳。

Lexus LC F allegedly debuts with 600 hp at Tokyo Motor Show

Evidence is mounting that Lexus is prepping a high-performance F variant of the LC, and it could premiere at the Tokyo Motor Show in October. The model will reportedly cost twice as much as the $92,995 LC 500, and the debut date late in 2017 will probably mean the hardcore vehicle will go on sale sometime in 2018.

 

This source claims that LC F doesn’t use the 471-horsepower (351-kilowatts) naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 from the LC 500 or 354-hp (264-kW) electrified 3.5-liter V6 in the LC 500h. Instead, it would feature a new biturbo 4.0-liter V8 that would essentially be a pair of the 2.0-liter turbocharged powerplant that’s currently available in models like Lexus IS, RC, and NX. The unnamed person tells Car and Driver the mill produces around 600 horsepower (447 kW) and 470 pound-feet (637 Newton-meters) of torque. In the LC F, the engine would hook up to the 10-speed automatic gearbox that’s already in the LC500.

 

In addition to the powertrain upgrade, the LC F would get a meaner look with a vented hood, brake cooling ducts, and a fixed rear wing. The source’s description makes the model sound like it borrows a little of the styling from the Super GT racing version.Rather than the standard four-piston brakes calipers, the F would reportedly use six-pot components.
