Lexus may be one step closer to confirming a new flagship coupe model, if we are to correctly read infer from comments made by Lexus US boss Jeff Bracken.
Speaking with Reuters, Bracken offered a strong hint that a new model was in the works.
"We need a flagship - it doesn't have to be a sedan," Mr Bracken said.
Bracken would not confirm that the new flagship model is a coupe, but a pair of trademark applications last year suggest the carmaker could already be well-advanced with such plans.
Lexus grabbed the rights to ‘LC 500’ and ‘LC 500h’, with the LC likely to represent ‘Luxury Coupe’ in the way that LS stands for Luxury Saloon.
A future LC model is believed to be based on the LS and will share its rear-wheel-drive platform, but a separate report suggested styling would closely mirror that of the LF-LC concept (pictured).
