Just Lexus in Detroit the cloth is drawn from the LC 500, the spiritual successor of the SC 430 and its predecessor SC400. Under the hood is a smooth 5.0 V8 with 477 hp.

In 2010, the SC 430 (since 2002) of production, without that the car is a direct successor. The SC 430 was in its turn a strange successor to the SC400, that between 1991 and 2000 available. Although the LC 500 a other name, may we him, however, as spiritual successor of these two sports cars.

Lexus is aiming for, incidentally, to be something higher with the LC 500, because the dimensions are nothing short of enormous. In the length measure the sports car 4,76 meters, while the width of 1.92 metres, is substantial. Add to that a roof that at its highest point just the 1.345 m on tap, and you have the ingredients for very fine proportions.

That fine proportions are even more decorated with Lexus’ distinctive design language, a sports car much better to his right seems to come on a mid-size SUV like the NX. Especially because you know that this LC 500, you can genuinely eat, and he not only looks.

With an atmospheric 5.0 V8 with 477 hp has the LC 500 on a more than potent source of power. The powertrain from the Lexus GS-F and RC-F (driving test!) to be more precise. That Lexus its new sports car not LC-F calls is good news, it leaves space for an even received more potent version!

All the horsepower allow the LC-500 is loose on its rear wheels, helped by an automaton with less than ten oppose. The short object that creates, ensure that the Lexus is almost continuously at the optimal engine speed can operate. That we see back in more than great acceleratiecijfers: 0-100 in less than 4.5 seconds.
