Hot on the heels of Alpine‘s Vision GT comes another concept car for the Gran Turismo series, this time from Japanese brand Lexus.

There’s no information on the car at this time aside from two teaser images released today, but we can make a couple of fair assumptions for now.

Parent company Toyota already has a Vision GT car in the game, and there’s some similarity in the two cars, particularly around the tail lights. That car, the FT-1 VGT (derived from the earlier FT-1 concept) is a front-engine, rear wheel drive car and though the LF-LC seems to have a relatively stubby nose in these teaser shots it may just be a foreshortening effect.

Those who keep up with the auto shows may well remember the name “LF-LC” from a car shown in 2012 that looks surprisingly like the Toyota FT-1. That car was recently mooted for production by Lexus, reportedly carrying a mixed-fuel powertrain that combines a petrol V8 and electric motors for 500hp, just as with the FT-1. The bonnet ducting and latches hint at a racing or high performance variation.

Assumptions aside, we’ll have to wait on drawing any conclusions from these teaser images and bring you more news as it comes!
