I don't know about this one, but in the past years, Toyota always confirmed a final production design then they try make it fancier then call it a concept car. So they basically build a production model first, and fix it with "concept" later. It happened to Subaru as well after they jointly develop 86 with Toyota. I believe that LF-CC is a concept for IS when they were planning IS coupe, but then they didn't want to compete directly with 4 series; so they make another coupe slotted between IS and GS. The concept for RC was LF-LC, at least that's what most of inspirations came from. Yeah yeah, the shapes between RC and LF-LC are different, but so are WRX and WRX concept.
