15 seconds. That's how long Lexus says it takes to drop the top of its LC 500 Convertible.
But you're probably here for some performance-oriented numbers, so here they are: 471 horsepower and 398 lb.-ft. of torque from a 5.0-liter V8 engine that's backed by a 10-speed automatic transmission. Zero to 60 mph only takes 4.6 seconds, and Lexus estimates …
I know the LFA and LC aren't quite the same, but $101,100 doesn't seem quite as hard to swallow for a flagship model compared to the $420,000 that #2 example of an LFA is worth.
Although, it's hard to match that LFA V10.
Dead sexy and TWO "oh E36 M3" handles.
I hate white interiors.
Otherwise seems nice.
Those LC500s are absolutely beautiful.
Seeing the coupe on the road is a real head turner. They did a good job with that design.
I think this is more of a "sexy SC430" than an attempt at a hypercar. I keep hearing rumors about them dropping a TTV8 into various Lexus....a boy can dream, though I certainly wouldnt like the price tag
In reply to calteg :
I'd agree with you on that one. The LC seems to be more of a grand tourer with some sporting undertones.
As far the turbo rumers, that would definately make the LC a potent machine.
I'm not a huge fan of the nose, but the rest, both in performance and looks, more than makes up for it. And ya, no white interiors for me. But, then again, I could never afford a 100K + vehicle.
Give me a tin top. I saw one just like this today. The green on that car is fantastic.
