Lexus LF-LC Blue concept

Lexus has unveiled the LF-LC Blue concept at the Australian International Motor Show in Sydney.

Essentially a repainted version of the car that was first seen at last December’s North American International Auto Show, it sports an Opal Blue finish instead of the red colour that was used for Detroit.

The LF-LC is powered by a petrol-electric hybrid system that’s reckoned to produce 500 bhp (372 kW / 506 PS), although there’s no word on likely performance or efficiency.

However, it is looking increasingly likely that the LF-LC could morph into a production model. The official line is that ‘the concept hints at what is to come from Lexus, which is now actively studying how it can engineer and build a vehicle like this in the future’.

Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
