2019 Lexus LC 500 Base 2dr Rear-Wheel Drive Coupe

Overview

The Lexus LC 500 is a flagship model with incredible styling, athletic handling, a potent V-8 and a powerful hybrid model. Power for the LC 500 comes from a naturally aspirated 5.0L V8 that can wind all the way up to a 7,300-rpm redline. Output is rated at 471-horsepower, with peak torque of 398 lb-ft. Power is put to the rear wheels through a 10-speed automatic transmission, with magnesium paddles for manual shifting. Drive Mode Select allows the driver to customize the LC's throttle, transmission, and suspension responsiveness depending on the situation. When navigating the system, drivers can also adjust the exhaust sounds thanks to Active Exhaust. Standard features include LED head and taillights, automatic high beams, auto-dimming heated mirrors and keyless entry. Inside, the cars feature a power tilt/telescoping steering wheel, eight-inch driver information screen, adaptive cruise control, 8-way power-adjustable heated and ventilated leather front seats, navigation and a 12-speaker audio system that includes satellite radio. A lane departure warning, rearview camera, and pre-collision warning system account for the LC's advanced safety features. The Lexus LC benefits from a few extra features for 2019, most of which come standard. Apple CarPlay and Amazon Alexa have been integrated to the car's infotainment system, which has been further improved with the addition of Lexus' Enform Remote and Dynamic Navigation systems. In addition, that navigation and infotainment system will now respond to voice commands, while Wi-fi has also been added. Underneath the skin, the LC gets reprogrammed shift logic for its transmission as well as revisions to the suspension to make the car more comfortable.
