Lexus LF-LC Concept – a fresh look ahead of Detroit

New Lexus LF-LC Concept Photo Lexus has released a couple of new pictures of their LF-LC Coupe Concept ahead of its reveal next week at the Detroit Auto Show. We had a few teases for the Lexus LF-LC Concept last month as Lexus ramped up interest for the Detroit Auto Show, but the teases came to an end after an offical photo of the LF-LC leaked.
