Lexus LC500 (LF LC production)

Didn't know this was officially unveiled yesterday... what the deuce

I imagine it's going to cost upwards of $100k, assuming this is the SC400's replacement






Glad I didn't bite on the RCF

The base will have the RCF's engine, with a 10-spd automatic, in a lightweight body... wonder what the LC-F will have

467-hp 5.0-liter V8
0-60mph in 4.5 seconds

sorry this doesn't sound very impressive...this is just as slow as Mustang GT for a acceleration department.

I would've expected mid 3 seconds or even high 3.

OK I just did a Google search, as I thought, this thing needs to go at least high 3's to be competitive.

4.5 sec is seriously pathetic.
It's not a Mustang, Camaero, 370Z...it's a high end luxury coupe.

BMW M4
0-60mph: 3.7 seconds


Mercedes-Benz AMG C63
0-60mph: 3.8 seconds


Cadillac ATS-V
0-60mph: 3.8 seconds


Jaguar F-Type SVR
0-60mph: 3.5 seconds

The LC500 is NOT intended to compete with any of those cars...That's what the RC-F is for.

The RCF is actually a bit slower. It does 0-60mph in 4.6 seconds according Edmunds.

That's pretty bad for a coupe with 5L V8. It needs to be mid-high 3 secs.

^^^ motor trend says 4.3s

the LC-F is going to be the competitive one anyway, the LC500 just has the RCF's engine

so comparing the LCF to sport variants of lower end coupes isn't relative (price point wise) the RC & RCF are the ones up against the examples timpo posted

the lc500 is replacing the old sc though, which wasnt a speedster either

OK I did some research why Lexus chose V8 and looks like they're saying Lexus chose the "feeling" or "pure" part of V8 sound and characteristics.
Everyone is downsizing to small displacement turbo, but Lexus kept the V8.
I am still not impressed with the 0-60mph time though.

yray was talking about license plate bulbs and you quoted him and proceed to write about how it is a shitty car compared to other's in its class...

Reminds me of this post in the NSX thread

What he is tho, is a great way to kill threads with redundant uselessness. Who wants to have a discussion when the replies are constantly irrelevant or unrelated.


A: The new nsx doesnt connect the driver to the car the way the old one did. It doesn't make you feel like its an extension of your body, it feels more like you're driving a really efficient microwave oven.
Timpo: Yes it does, it has bluetooth conectivity, the old one only had a tape deck.
A: no thats not what i ment, you missunderstood me
Timpo: yes I did, the GTR is much faster

I think it looks awesome! I love Lexus/Toyota so perhaps I'm a bit biased. Numbers don't mean shit. Lexus is all about fit and finish, quality control, residual value, styling, etc. Yeah, it doesn't do a sub-4 sec 0-60 but who cares, it'll actaully be worth something in 10 years and not be falling apart.

Go Lexus!!

Perfect GT car. Heavy (assumed) slow (kind of) and killer interior.

Understand the brand. Lexus has never given a shit about top speed or 0-60. All about driving refinement.

At first, I thought this would be the Supra replacement until I read it was the SC's supposed replacement.

Neat car nonetheless.
