2004 New York Auto Show	Permalink

Lexus LF-C Lexus will unveil a high-output V8-powered luxury sports coupe concept — known as LF-C — that was created with a more passionate design direction, similar to the new GS, which will also be on hand. According to Lexus, the LF-C "combines performance, versatility and innovative luxury in a sleek package." Lincoln Mark X concept Lincoln is planning to uncover a new mid-size sedan based off the Mazda 6 platform. Our sources tell us the car will be slightly bigger than the Mazda and, of course, more upscale. Expect the Lincoln to come with a more powerful version of the Mazda’s 3.0-liter, 220-horsepower V-6. No word yet on whether or not it’ll offer a manual transmission. The Mark X Concept will also be shown. Maserati MC12 At the Geneva auto show, Maserati made clear its intentions to get back into big-time racing—something it hasn’t done since the 1960s—when it unveiled the sinister-looking sports racer, the MCC. At New York, the Trident will show the street version of the MCC, code-named MC12. Like the race version, the MC12 is a mid-engine car that is constructed almost entirely of carbon fiber. It shares the racer’s 6.0-liter V-12 and six-speed sequential gearbox. The engine is a 65-degree V, which you might recognize as the same configuration as the Ferrari Enzo’s V-12, and makes 630 horsepower in the Maserati. The huge rear wing of the racer has been replaced on the street car by a more modest spoiler. Price? Maserati acknowledges only that the MC12 will cost less than the $659,430 Enzo. It’s hard to imagine it would be priced under $500,000. The 400-hp Grand Sport coupe is also expected to be on hand. Toyota Motor Triathlon Race Car Toyota's Motor Triathlon Race Car (MTRC) fuel cell concept will make its U.S. debut at New York. The concept vehicle, which made its world premier earlier this year at Geneva, was designed and built by Toyota's European design studio ED2. Influenced by the interests of today’s “young people,” i.e. cell phones, video games, and the Internet, the MTRC is a two-seater that was envisioned to compete in three different conditions: off-road, on a racetrack, and in a busy, narrow city street, as if in a "triathlon." The vehicle uses an electronically controlled suspension and four electric motors that are powered by a fuel cell stack. As a result, the MTRC is a zero emissions vehicle. tiiiiiiiight.
