New Lexus IS 300h, LF-LC and Lexus F-Sport all at 2013 Geneva Motor Show
Fri, 01 Feb 2013We’ll get to see the new Lexus IS 300h at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show together with an Opal Blue LF-CC and extended F Sport range.
Probably of most interest – because we’ve not seen it in Europe yet, is the new Lexus IS 300h, the hybrid version of the 2013 Lexus IS – revealed at Detroit last month – which Lexus hope will pick up sales from the diesel competition.
Lexus will be adding the F Sport trim to the IS 300h too to show that their cars can look as dynamic as those from Audi’s S Line, Mercedes’ AMG or BMW’s M Sport which, with an expected output of around 220bhp from the electric motor and 2.5 litre engine, isn’t all that incongruous.
As well as showing off the new IS with F Sport goodies, Lexus will also be pushing the whole F Sport option across their range, with a full range of F Sport models on display on a new stand Lexus are using for the first time in Europe.
Finally, the stunning Lexus LF-LC Concept will be on display in a fetching shade of Opal Blue (the same LF-LC Lexus showed at the Australian Motor Show, we assume) , which we expect to be heading for production by 2015, perhaps as the Lexus LC Coupe.
More from Lexus at Geneva when the show starts next month.
