Though the LF-CC hasn’t surfaced as a production model in the Japanese automaker’s lineup, it heavily influenced the design of the 2014 IS. The team has begun performance vehicle shakedown tests at the Suzuka Circuit. It is believed that when the Lexus RC makes its official debut, it’ll be the production variant of the LF-CC concept.
