Lexus plans to release a refined version of the LF-LC, sporting an SC badge. Automobile reports that the 3rd generation Lexus SC luxury sports coupe will depict some of the incredible features that will make it a direct challenger to Mercedes SL and BMW 6 Series.

The report further cites that the all-new Lexus SC will feature a 5.0-litre V8, which would admittedly generate a force of 467 hp, while the hybrid version will generate around 500 horsepower. The most powerful SC variant would be boasting a twin-turbo V8 to produce 100 extra horsepower than the base model.

The 2nd generation Lexus SC , which was a luxury convertible, had a good run at the automaker, and if the sources are authentic, the next generation car will once again reinstate the image of the Japanese company in the eyes of its fans.
