Lexus LC

Lexus's flagship GT — coupe and convertible, on the GA-L platform shared with the LS saloon. LC500 keeps a 5.0 V8 naturally aspirated (the 2UR-GSE — same engine as the RC F), 471 bhp, 10-speed automatic; LC500h pairs the 3.5 V6 with a multi-stage hybrid system simulating a 10-speed shift pattern. One of the most distinctive and best-built GTs of the era — cabin theatre is exceptional, the V8 makes a noise no German rival does, and depreciation has been kinder than most. A genuine 911 / DB11 alternative for buyers who want something different.
