This could be said about past models, but going forward the RWD models will all be built on the all new GA-L platform. The LC will be built at the Lexus Motomachi facility in Japan, the same plant that produced the LFA.

Other than a retiree with a paid off mortgage and an older LS to trade in I can't see the average millionaire trying to scoop up a Lexus LC.

The drivetrain is from Lexus. A V8 (2UR-GSE) and a V6 hybrid (8GR-FXS). They only expect to sale 400 units a month in the U.S. So about 4,800 a year.
