The Lexus LC is a grand tourer from Lexus, Toyota's luxury division. It was based on the 2012 LF-LC Concept, designed by Toyota Calty Design Research in Newport Beach, California. It was developed under the program codename "950A" from 2012 to May 2016, making its debut at the January 2016 North American International Auto Show. Design work was transferred from Calty to Toyota Technical Centre in Aichi, Japan from January 2013, with a final production design freeze in the first half of 2014.[3][4][2]
