Spied: This is the New 2014 Lexus IS Sports Sedan with Styling that Draws on the LF-CC

If you take a close look at the prototype's body, you will find many common styling cues with the <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/09/lexus-lf-cc-concept-this-is-what-is.html">Lexus LF-CC Concept</a> displayed at the Paris Motor Show this past September, including the slanted "spindle" front grille that extends to the bottom of the bumper, the strong belt line, the creased side skirts and the design of the rear end. <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-82y0Nv2y9uU/UJGKPf-RnfI/AAAAAAAJ1So/wMw-Gq4xzz0/s1600/2014MY-Lexus-IS-Sedan-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-82y0Nv2y9uU/UJGKPf-RnfI/AAAAAAAJ1So/wMw-Gq4xzz0/s200/2014MY-Lexus-IS-Sedan-5.jpg" width="110" /></a> This is no coincidence as the LF-CC was penned as a thinly disguised concept for an IS Coupe, which will join the range shortly after the sedan model pictured here, offering Lexus a product to compete against the BMW 3 / 4 Series and Audi A5 coupes. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/10/spied-this-is-new-2014-lexus-is-sports.html#more">Read more »</a>

Lexus LF-CC Concept: This is What an IS Coupe May Look Like

The LFA is a technical tour-de-force, but it comes with a ridiculous price tag and a production run of only 500 units, making it essentially a halo car that displays the brand’s capabilities. The only other two-door model is the IS CC, which is a hardtop convertible. Now this space will be filled with the production version of the LF-CC concept that premiered at the <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/search/label/Paris%20Auto%20Show">Paris Auto Show</a>. Building on the very positive reaction that the LF-LC received at January’s Detroit Motor Show, the <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/09/lexus-lf-cc-hybrid-concept-heads-to.html">LF-CC</a> is a more down-to-earth, almost production-ready model, that will inspire a coupe version of the next IS series to compete against the BMW 3/4 Series Coupe. <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-c8PvBEJYKJg/UGSTt45ciJI/AAAAAAAJQuw/MnBmNPdg7wY/s1600/Lexus-LF-CC-3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear:right; float:right; margin-left:1em; margin-bottom:10px"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-c8PvBEJYKJg/UGSTt45ciJI/AAAAAAAJQuw/MnBmNPdg7wY/s200/Lexus-LF-CC-3.JPG" width="115"></a> The front-engined, rear-wheel drive concept also features a <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/search/label/Hybrids">hybrid</a> powertrain, which according to the company, will eventually power other models, too. It consists of a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with direct injection that operates on the more efficient Atkinson cycle, a compact electric motor, a generator, a battery, a power split device and a central control unit that manages the internal combustion engine-electric motor-battery operation modes. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/09/lexus-lf-cc-concept-this-is-what-is.html#more">Read more »</a>

The <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/search/label/Lexus">Lexus</a> LF-CC is more compact than the LF-LC concept and also looks more production-ready. It features a less steeply raked interpretation of the trademark Lexus “spindle” grille and its headlamps, while not as futuristic as those of the LF-LC, feature 3 LED projectors each and are set quite back compared to the grille creating what Lexus says is a “3D form”. <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VWa3QUjZq-M/UFcb1g0xscI/AAAAAAAJGHc/jg5B3lhpmEY/s1600/Lexus-LF-CC-Interior-2.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="89" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5789126452166373826" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VWa3QUjZq-M/UFcb1g0xscI/AAAAAAAJGHc/jg5B3lhpmEY/s200/Lexus-LF-CC-Interior-2.jpg" style="float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; border: 1px solid rgb(224, 224, 224);" width="132"></a>The proportions of the LF-CC are those of a typical front-engined, rear-wheel drive coupe, with a long front bonnet, a passenger cabin set rearwards and a stubby tail.
