Autocar reports Lexus may be mulling a production version of the company’s [LF-LC Concept](http://www.autoblog.com/tag/lexus lf-lc concept). After receiving a near universally positive reception following its unveiling at the [Detroit Auto Show](http://www.autoblog.com/tag/detroit auto show) this year, Karl Schlicht, head of Lexus product planning, reportedly gave the vehicle a 50-50 shot at hitting dealers sometime in the future. Those aren’t great odds, but it is a change of tone from when the vehicle first hit the stage. Back in January, Toyota made it very clear the LF-LC was strictly a concept. As you may recall, the vehicle is a 2+2 coupe with a hybrid drivetrain and a low-slung presence.
According to Schlicht, the vehicle would have never even been considered for production if it had merely been submitted as a design proposal. With a physical concept backed by chorus of positive reviews, the company’s decision makers have evidently been prompted to give the LF-LC a second look.
Schlicht himself is set to become the head of product planning for Toyota and Lexus starting on April 1.Lexus LF-LC super coupe concept pondered for production originally appeared on Autoblog on Mon, 26 Mar 2012 16:28:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
