Combining exciting design and exhilarating performance like never before, this 2018 Lexus LC 500 Performance Package luxury coupe gives new reasons to fall in love with the adventure of the wide-open road.
This LC 500 is a flagship 2+2 luxury coupe that expresses a contemporary interpretation of the finest traditions of the grand touring model. The LC is focused on the road, with handling, responsiveness and comfort tuned on some of the world’s greatest driving adventures to deliver a rewarding and hugely enjoyable experience.
Lexus is known for the craftsmanship of its vehicles, and nowhere is this more apparent than with the new LC series. Lexus builds this new flagship model at the same plant that produced the hand-crafted Lexus LFA Supercar – and many of the people who built the LFA have transferred to the LC production line. Their expertise is apparent in everything from powertrain function to interior and exterior trim.
The LC 500 is powered by the latest iteration of the Lexus 5.0L V8 that graces both the Lexus RC F and GS F high performance models. High-revving and naturally aspirated, this 471 peak horsepower engine provides exhilarating acceleration for confident driving. This is coupled to a 10-speed direct-shift automatic transmission – the first in a luxury automobile – that delivers amazing shift times, heightening the emotional connection between driver and car. This 10-speed automatic features evenly-spaced gearing and is the industry’s first to combine AI-SHIFT control with a drive-mode switching function, to select the optimum gear according to the vehicle’s estimation of the driver’s preferences and intentions based on vehicle speed, use of the accelerator, and past driving history.
Lexus recognizes that all the senses contribute to an engaging driving experience – including sound. That’s why the new LC’s powertrain has been carefully tuned – from air intake to final exhaust – to create a “concert hall" effect inside the cabin, both as the LC gains speed and slows down. At low revs, the sound telegraphs the LC’s power, while at higher speeds the engine note contributes to the LC’s exhilarating experience.
The LC series is the first Lexus to take advantage of an all-new, rear-wheel-drive platform. Known as GA-L, this platform features a low centre of gravity and centralized positioning of components, including the engine. The result is a dynamic driving experience unlike any previous Lexus.
New front and rear suspensions contribute to excellent vehicle response and sharp, agile steering feel, while imparting tremendous ride comfort and stability. Run-flat tires mean no on-board spare is necessary. This helps better balance the vehicle’s weight and frees up space to help maintain the LC’s swooping profile.
The Performance Package includes a limited slip differential, 21-inch forged alloy wheels, a 13-speaker Mark Levinson Reference Product audio system, Lane Change Assist, Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross Traffic Alert safety technologies, premium alcantara and leather seat coverings, alcantara head liner, a head-up display, clearance and backup sensors, a carbon fibre roof and active rear spoiler, scuff plates, and more......Read Less
