I agree, this is one of the best looking current cars. I was shocked to find out, that it is in production already for 7th year. It certainly does not look so, both outside and inside, timeless design.
As an LC500 convertible owner, i can confirm it is something you have to experience in person. It's not the fastest at all, but good lord, it's a work of art.
@stealthy3928 it's all about preference tbh. If you are looking to upgrade for speed, etc, go with the BMW. I just have always loved the look of the Lexus tbh. I was looking at an M4 competition before I bought the Lexus, but I think I would've gotten into too much trouble with that, lol.

@@jeffwolf8018no it is not. They had a bunch where I’m at but the non convertible is harder to find. I’m so close to getting one but I have to get my priorities straight first. I just need about a year unfortunately 😔
It would proceed to sell horribly because nobody's trying to do all that work managing gears. This is a car that sit between sports and comfort, leaning more on the comfort side.
seeing this car on computer screens i was like oh its a nice lexus and all, but when i saw it in real life, i fell in love, honestly struck me and looks better than an aston martin or jaguar or ferrari imo
What a gorgeous and under appreciated car this is. This will still look gorgeous and still be running in 25 years when all of the German competition have long since been sent to junkyards.
Just like the gs400 ls400 with time these will be appreciated more, especially after all the American and German v8s are no longer running and expensive to maintain
I own this exact car from the video and what a disaster it was, purchased from LW Automotive and arrived with tons of problems. Told it was perfect. Spent $18k to fix major safety issues with vehicle frame. These cars are amazing, but mine was a bust.
The only thing you all need to know is that Yamaha engineeers worked with Lexus on this. After owning so many Yamahas I can tell you this car is amazing. Naturally aspirate V8
This an awesome car I've never seen a 471 hp and 398 torque 10-speed automatic transition but I don't like the door handle very fragile some days after the handle can damage in my opinion I don't know but it looks weird seats are very comfortable sound also fantastic
The hybrid version does get superior mileage and range, is very close in acceleration, looks just as good, and is quieter while cruising, which is what 99.9% of the owners use it for.
@@ARentz07 If gas were $3/gallon here, I wouldn't either, but premium is over $5/gallon, so I'd rather drive more often in a hybrid than look at the non-hybrid sitting in the garage.
Such an underrated car
who knows what naturally aspirated means
@@edheim3528 no forced induction/boost from a supercharger or turbo.
@@edheim3528 This 5.0 V-8 engine is fantastic.
Being underrated means if I’d actually own one, prolly will never see a same car on the road 😂 truly special
Such a good gt
This car looks like a Victoria’s Secret model and sounds like an angry lion , what else are we looking for in a car ?
only thing id want is a different gearbox. overall its incredible
@@shaned1500the Lexus 10 speed is a great gearbox! The gear ratios are just too long

Do you think they’re worth the price tag ? I’ve been looking at used ones at about 70k but for little more I can get an m3

But I'll settle for one of these beauties.
"settle" bro i would murder a stillborn for this
Exactly how I feel lol
Exactly what im saying lol this is the dream to the dream 🤝🏾🥲

Too overpriced tho, I get it's a flagship car but it's a 5.0 v8 and it's not that fast so it shouldn't cost close to 200k aud
Props to Lexus designers and engineers making this beauty
gorgeous ! i usually don't like silver colour, but this; this is an exception 👏
bro lexus is known for their best in the market silvers.

Yeah like the Lexus lfa
On God, brother thought the LFA is a standalone car brand and model. 😂
I so want one of these cars.. The best part is I might just be able to swing it..
Congrats , get a great deal on one.
@@gabeeskridge8291 finding one is a task itself. Thanks
@@jeffwolf8018where do you live i can help you find one in an official website
@@jeffwolf8018no it is not. They had a bunch where I’m at but the non convertible is harder to find. I’m so close to getting one but I have to get my priorities straight first. I just need about a year unfortunately 😔
It has it all. In 2024 there'll be a new 12" touch screen too... Dream car1
I would get one with the Mark Levinson Stereo
I saw a white one on the Garden State parkway yesterday and it looks so gorgeus. Definitely a head turner.
The best V8 you can get under $100k.
Luxurious, stylish, sound and most reliable.
looks like a spaceship fr
My 5 year old cousin calls my grandfathers lc500 a spaceship so your not alone lol
The most attractive car ever made make you want it so badly
Best sports car you can buy.
Was looking at getting one then saw the updates to the 2024. Glad I waited. I will get one
THE BEST GT CAR EVER 😍👍
Agree
Yessir❤
In my opinion this is just perfect.The perfect cruiser.
I'd take this 5L over a mustang any day!
Me too
It’s inspired by a mustang lol and still loses to one
@@c23brantonj81 sounds better than a mustang
The perfect road trip car
Roars and Purrs simultaneously 😮
The true modern supra, not a BMW
Indeed
Supra is more of a sports car while this Lexus is more of a muscle car
My grandfather has one of these. He let me drive it and boy are those paddles fun!
Just imagine if they launched a manual variant
*Eurobeat intensifies*

@@sudoman So were IS 300 and MK4 Supra. I will gladly put in the work to manage those gears, if they made it proper.
@@sudomani am 😅 im buying a 3rd car and im specifically looking at a manual. I live in the uk where traffic is pretty bad too.
Who tf drives manual these days? Lol everything is DCT transmission these days bruh. Manual is outdated.
It still looks like a concept car even today ❤
Modern Lexus Classic right here
Most underrated car ever
The most reliable grand tourer you can buy
My new dream car❤
we need a LCF with an updated LFA engine
I could never understand why Lexus never utilized that V10 engine by putting it in the LCF!!
Fun fact, that cluster display is the same one used in the LFA
Nice to see that lexus still makes sports cars
If only i had money this would be my daily driver
seeing this car on computer screens i was like oh its a nice lexus and all, but when i saw it in real life, i fell in love, honestly struck me and looks better than an aston martin or jaguar or ferrari imo
I would love to have this car rather than any car just for its sound and that gear shifting.
Not a surprise from a company that made the legendary LFA
None more beautiful.Period.
That console mechanical sound is like agera r unlocking sound 🙃
Now this Totota is unique great design !
One of the dream cars to have in rotation
What a gorgeous and under appreciated car this is. This will still look gorgeous and still be running in 25 years when all of the German competition have long since been sent to junkyards.
Ever heard of car maintenance? 🤣🤣
As soon my insurance lowered I’m getting this for my weekend car
Just like the gs400 ls400 with time these will be appreciated more, especially after all the American and German v8s are no longer running and expensive to maintain
that gear change from 2nd to 3rd 😮💨
I own this exact car from the video and what a disaster it was, purchased from LW Automotive and arrived with tons of problems. Told it was perfect. Spent $18k to fix major safety issues with vehicle frame. These cars are amazing, but mine was a bust.
I wish this was imported into the UK 😢
The epitome of auto beauty
The only thing you all need to know is that Yamaha engineeers worked with Lexus on this. After owning so many Yamahas I can tell you this car is amazing. Naturally aspirate V8
471 HP
398 FP-Torque
So that being stock that's VERY FU©KING good coming from Lexus.
I tip my hat to Lexus. I might have to look into getting one of these.
I owned a Lexus before & it was a comfortable car very easy to work on myself changing oil, spark plugs ect. So I'm definitely going to look into this LC500
This should have been the SUPRA!!!!❤❤
And it does not spend most of its life in the repair shop ! Legendary reliability ! What good is a car if its always broken ?
This is my dream car
In an age of muscle cars SCAT PACKS and lambos... IM BUYING A LEXUS
Beautiful car, love your videos!
If cars would have a ramp walk this would be the show stopper
In a Heartbeat! If I could afford it.👍👍👍
Great design,outstanding
Hoping to get one in my garage soon
My dream car!
My dream car 😍😍😍
and it chimes like any other Toyota! ❤
A super reliable spaceship. Ill take it
I wont lie. This car is sexy as hell
L'unica auto giapponese con una linea gradevole!
I liked the shifting 👉➕️
Love that car
Beautiful car, would love to have one
Torque steer🤔
My dream car
This is how a mustang gt base should sound .. 😂
With the price of a mercedes a35 is the car i lookin for
Imagine taking this car to car show thats all you need
This is my dream car😢
It's got really cool door handles. You don't have to add as well to every sentence
The cluster comes directly from the LFA
Did sell is the most important explanation.

Lexus IS quality I doubt those handles are made of plastic I think they use magnesium in paddle shifters

I'd never go hybrid here.
@@ARentz07 If gas were $3/gallon here, I wouldn't either, but premium is over $5/gallon, so I'd rather drive more often in a hybrid than look at the non-hybrid sitting in the garage.
@Dave Paturno It's worth the gas money tho.
@@user-ke1gn3ql1g Only if you don't drive much in CA.
This is what the MK5 supra should have been
It’s just such a shame you can’t mod them
I would buy it just for the sound of that engine
I’ll keep my 6 series. Thanks.
Has Lexus ever made a V-8 powered car with all-wheel-drive?
Basically a 15 year old car engine came with Isf
He didn’t even show the phone 😂
Ah someday! Really soon i hope
Not sure why Toyota hasn’t recaptured the sound of the LFA in any of their subsequent performance cars.
Luxurious mustang
I opened the door once at a lexus dealership and they all gasped !
I think I broke it!
My next car. They just gotta let me put on a turbo so I can get some real muscle out of this muscle masterpiece.
Can you add a couple turbos?😎😏
They should have just slapped in a v10 in there
And it'll drink up the gas, but if you can afford this, paying $6.20 a gallon probably isn't an issue anyway
Luckily for me premium is onyo 3.60 a gallon, so I would be fine.
Pisses me off that this came with less than 500HP man
I need the same or more torque!!😩..come on lexus!!!
what a lovely car
I want it.. I need it.
Sounds like Mustang Gt
I just saw this car like 25 mins ago on parking spot
