Alluring, expressively designed luxury coupe defines a new era for the global luxury brand.
The LC 500 features sensual curves, emotional forms, an available flowing carbon-fiber roof (glass roof standard), helping create a low, wide imposing stance that comes together for a highly functional, passionate package.
The front fascia features a powerful interpretation of Lexus’ distinctive grille, bordered by chrome on three sides and a radical new 3D mesh design that varies its visual tension.
The coupe’s styling, performance, and craftsmanship help position the vehicle as one of Lexus’ flagship products.
Functional venting also plays into the LC 500’s exterior design to help improve aerodynamic stability and cooling.
The LC 500 is the first Lexus to use the brand’s all-new, premium rear-wheel-drive luxury platform.
The sexy curves and flowing lines maintain a consistent tension in sheetmetal through to the rear end that features slimly designed, multi-layered tail lamps with a unique lighting effect that helps convey a sequential L motif.
The heart of the new LC 500 is derived from the proven, high-revving 5.0-liter V8 that is found in the RC F and GS F. The all-aluminum, 32-valve V8’s output targets 467 HP and 389 lb.-ft. of torque. 0-60 mph is expected in less than 4.5 seconds.
Helping power transfer to the rear wheels is a newly developed 10-speed automatic transmission.
