Lexus is reportedly working on a "UC" (Urban Coupe) that's based on the GR86/BRZ platform that has Subaru’s 2.4L boxer engine paired to a PHEV powertrain.
There's a couple more photos of this car that were taken by the person who saw it. Not much has been done to the back of the car.Lexus is reportedly working on a "UC" (Urban Coupe) that's based on the GR86/BRZ platform that has Subaru’s 2.4L boxer engine paired to a PHEV powertrain.

When asked about it, a spokesperson from Lexus USA said “Unfortunately, we cannot comment or speculate on future product strategy. That said, we do have some exciting things coming up for Lexus. Please stay tuned!”It was debunked as being most likely fake.
A simple Lexus badge at the back does it for me. Like with this rendering.Found a new rendering for what the car could look like. The front is decent but I'm not a fan of LEXUS written across the back.

RC is suppose to ride on a new chassis with the IS soon. That’s what I’ve been hearing about on Lexus Enthusiast.What if the Lexus-badged GR is the RC replacement??
Particularly a PHEV - they are the most expensive type of hybrid. They are excellent though from a practicality sense, no better combination for both short and long trips if your going electric.One thing is for sure - it will not be a cheap car. Hybrid is nice but as an everyday car and not sporty.
