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.

I'm sorry but the LF-LC and RC are not the same car. This has been confirmed by Clublexus.com and MotorTrend.com during an interview with a Lexus official.
A production LF-LC will be built on the LS platform. As we all know the RC uses a shorten version of the GS platform. (So does the IS).

the LF-LC concept could be based on a shortened version of the LS sedan’s chassis and be powered by a hybrid powertrain.

Lexus LF-LC is a luxury coupe, which will be placed on the Lexus LS sedan platform, made of aluminum and carbon fiber, but much reduced.
