Who actually creates the business case to make these parts? They will sell what, a dozen at 17k?

17k is outragous.

All the RD, moulds etc surely this part will make no money, and are they stocking this thing on a shelf in japan somewhere?

The more expensive a car is, the more ridiculous prices for accessories are.

Prancing horse fender badge option on a Ferrari years ago used to be $10,000+... for 2 painted metal badges.

Because Ferrari.

Well kinda, but a car needs wheels and needs badge if it gets messed up.

4k on big-ass 19x10 wide wheels is not THAT crazy. Any crappy OEM wheel for a civic will lick you for 300-400.

This TRD thing is a VERY niche vanity item with an out of world price tag that only fits on this car.

10k on 400k F car is not that crazy, 14k USD on a 120cnd car is INSANE.

The market for WORK XYZ wheel for your bmw/audi/vw/benz for 5k is wayyyyyyyyyy bigger than the market for a LC500 TRD Air thing. That's why I'm asking what the business case is.

A lot of those cars lose money though... didn't Lexus lose tens of millions on the LFA?

At least they're letting their engineers have some fun... make a few bespoke products for discerning individuals (rich people) and have a whole lot of people yearning for them... they end up eventually giving up hope of owning it and buying other stuff to satisfy that craving right?? hahaha why not if they got some extra CF around, make a few of these covers and get some great photoshoots/marketing material and sell them at cost.. brand mystique!

Guy who wanted a LFA buys a LC... guy who lusts after a LC buys an IS... guy who lusts over an IS but can't afford it buys a Corolla... guy in Corolla trolls guy in LC... round and round the world goes

I assume it's made-to-order, and I'm sure a sizable chunk of global LC owners are wealthy enough to the point where $17k is pocket change. Especially in the JDM / Asian market where their taxes / fees make this vehicle way more expensive than what we pay here in North America.

We aren't the main demographic for this product, and that's okay. It doesn't need to make sense for us, and at the end of the day it's up to Toyota to decide if producing and offering the part makes sense for them. If the market isn't there then it's only their loss.

Cue rolling up to a ricescene Spanish banks meat, and seeing 3000$ work wheels on a 750$ shitbox '92 civic
Or 4000$ BBS rims on a '96 GTI worth 1200$

you know who are you are

Even people with bucket full of money can’t really justify this 17k piece of CF. I’m on a few different LC clubs and I’ve only ever seen this on the one car bic baws showed me.

It’s ridiculous!

Also I’m pretty sure Lexus loses money on every LC they sell. The machining to create this low volume car with all the CF crap can’t be a good business model. I read that Akio toyoda wanted the LC to be a big middle finger to other manufacture like Porsche and Mercedes’ as they are always on the red carpet of classic car shows. I guess we’ll see in 20-30 years if this thing will hold its value.

i just went on auto tempest and US wide, this is the cheapest LC at 65k USD w/ 65,000 miles

not horrible i guess. these things hold their values quite a bit better than a S class mercedes or a bmw 8 series

https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/1...paign=atempest

Just ran the 911's and it seems to be on par w/ their depreciation in the states. MSRP w/ the 911 is significantly higher than the LC500 so technically the LC is hold itself better than the 911

I really like some of the oddball colours that you don't really see up here for the LC... there's that green (which is actually quite a nice colour I think) but only comes with the bizarre Arizona desert interior colour scheme... the yellow with white (???)... the blue with blue/orange/white interior... things got a little weird on a few of the special editions.

My favourite is the Nightfall Mica dark blue, next being the red you got.

The green:


The yellow's egg interior:


The blue's crazy interior:
