A racing-inspired version of the Lexus LC500, created by Gordon Ting/Beyond Marketing, debuted today at the 2016 SEMA Show. The world's first customised LC500 features aerodynamic bodywork, upgraded suspension, brakes, wheels, tyres, and a new interior executed by Evasive Motorsports. The engine build has been imagined by Hard Media, Inc. and D SPORT Magazine, turning the Lexus 5.0-litre V8 engine, which is also shared with RC F and GS F, into a 5.6-litre with 518bhp.
The body of the LC500 was prepped by Signature Autobody for the Avery Dennison Gloss Yellow wrap. Aerodynamic upgrades include an Artisan Spirit Custom Lexus LC Kit, featuring custom fender flares, a front diffuser, side skirts, a rear diffuser and a rear wing. KW Suspension, featuring a Hydraulic Lift System with a height adjustable spring kit, rounds out the performance enhancements. The four corners of the vehicle feature 22-inch HRE P101 wheels in satin charcoal with Pirelli P Zero Nero Tires, and are accented by Brembo brakes with a custom caliper colour. Carbon fibre Sparco race seats accompany the Evasive Motorsports GT3 spec race interior and safety cage.
In the LC500, the Lexus 5.0-litre naturally aspirated V8 engine offers 467bhp and 527Nm of torque. For the modified LC500, Club D SPORT increased the displacement to 5.6-litres, and increased the cylinder bore to 99.5mm (as compared to 94mm) for 518bhp. The design, machining and assembly of the engine was done in-house at Club D SPORT's engine development facility. The work was performed by Magnus Ohlaker, who has 20 years of experience building championship winning F1 and Indycar engines.
"The LC500 looks beautiful and has a fantastic foundation of performance and driving characteristics," said Gordon Ting, Beyond Marketing. "I wanted to use that groundwork to develop a high-performance, aggressive-looking LC500 that is tough yet luxurious, and has serious chops thanks to the custom engine.”
