Report: Lexus IS coupe coming in 2014

If the reports are to be believed, Lexus is developing an IS coupe which could go on sale early next year.

Not much detail is available about the model, but it will likely be influenced by the LF-CC concept that debuted earlier at the 2012 Paris Motor Show.

Engine options may be carried over from the sedan, so we can expect choices of engines that include a 2.5-liter V6 with output of 204 hp (152 kW) and a 3.5-liter V6 with output of 306 hp (228 kW). There could also be a possibility of a hybrid variant that may use a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and an electric motor to generate a combined output of 220 hp (164 kW).

The company has not confirmed officially about the model but executives have hinted that a coupe could change people’s perceptions about the brand and enable them to target the younger buyers.
