The introduction of the new LC luxury performance coupe is a significant illustration of Lexus' dedication to create cars with exciting, emotional designs and exhilarating performance.
Not only has Lexus delivered a design with high visual impact, it has also developed groundbreaking engineering and technology for the LC. The LC 500h features Lexus' new Multi Stage Hybrid System, which offers enhanced performance across engine speeds, a more direct response to driver inputs, and a higher level of dynamic performance and driving pleasure - all while maintaining the smoothness and efficiency that are characteristic of Lexus hybrids.
The LC 500, powered by a naturally aspirated 5.0-litre V8 engine, also marks a first in the premium car segment with its new Direct Shift 10-speed automatic transmission, featuring gear ratios spaced to achieve smooth, linear and rhythmical acceleration.
The LC is a new flagship 2+2 luxury performance coupe for Lexus' global model range, not only showcasing the qualities of design, beauty, engineering and advanced technology that define it as a premium vehicle manufacturer, but also symbolising its ambition as a luxury lifestyle brand. The Lexus LC will go on sale in the U.S.A in Spring 2017.
