Overview
The LC 500 represents Lexus' most performance-oriented production model. This grand touring coupe effectively balances driving dynamics with luxury accommodations to deliver a distinctive ownership experience. Craftsmanship remains a defining attribute throughout the vehicle. When compared to alternatives such as the Jaguar F-type R, BMW 8-Series, and Porsche 911, the Lexus LC offers substantial value.
Model Highlights
Power for the LC 500 comes from a naturally aspirated 5.0L V8 with a 7,100-rpm redline. Output measures 471 horsepower with 398 lb.-ft of torque. The powertrain drives power to the rear wheels through a 10-speed automatic transmission with magnesium paddle shifters for manual-like control. Drive Mode Select provides customization of throttle response, transmission behavior, and suspension settings based on driving conditions. The Active Exhaust system allows drivers to modify exhaust note characteristics. All of these features work synergistically to catapult the Lexus from 0 to 60 mph in only 4.6 seconds. The LC 500 comes with comprehensive standard equipment, including 21-inch alloy wheels, LED lighting systems, automatic high beams, auto-dimming power-folding exterior mirrors, 4-wheel vented disk brakes, and Smart Access keyless entry with push-button start. The cabin features a power tilt/telescoping leather-wrapped steering wheel, 12.3-inch touchscreen with Lexus Interface, adaptive cruise control, heated and ventilated 8-way power front seats trimmed in leather, Bluetooth connectivity, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration, embedded navigation,12-speaker premium audio system, HD Radio, and SiriusXM satellite radio.
