Lexus, the luxury-vehicle unit of Toyota Motor Corp., said it will unveil a four-seat sports car concept called the LF-LC 2+2 on Jan. 9 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The car maker’s Calty design studio in Newport Beach, Calif., created the hybrid-powered coupe to combine high-performance driving and fuel efficiency. The car is also part of a continuing program to remake the Lexus division’s image as a sharper, more youthful car maker. The LF-LC 2+2 reflects the company’s “L-Finesse” styling theme that has influenced the looks of production models from the new GS sport sedan to the $375,000 LFA supercar. Lexus has been trying to make its cars more exciting for some time as luxury buyers increasingly move toward sportier, more eye-catching designs.
