INTRODUCING THE 2018 LC AND LC HYBRID
-
THE FUTURE IN MOTION
Pairing a visceral driving experience
with a visionary form, the Lexus LC is the
pinnacle of a decades-long commitment
to innovative engineering and unbridled
imagination. A daring coupe with a low,
purposeful stance, the LC 500 captivates
with a robust, naturally aspirated 5.0-liter
V8 engine that generates a projected
467 horsepower1,2 and a 0-to-60 time
under 4.5 seconds.1,2,3 Meticulously crafted
with a variety of materials that enhance
structural rigidity—including high-strength
steel, lightweight carbon fiber and aluminum—
the LC 500 also hosts all-new Premium
Triple-Beam LED headlamps which house
the industry’s thinnest LED projectors for
even greater weight reduction.
Embracing the art of performance, the
LC achieves razor’s-edge precision with
an all-new 10-speed Sport Direct-Shift
transmission with paddle shifters, a variable
Active Sport Exhaust, and a new advanced
multilink suspension. Built to conquer
curves and command attention, the LC
also offers a limited-slip rear differential,
Dynamic Rear Steering and an active
rear spoiler. Experience the future of
Lexus at full throttle.

VISION TAKES FLIGHT
Debuting an all-new, premium rear-
wheel drive luxury platform, the LC
balances passion with physics to
forge an unprecedented connection
between the driver and the drive.
Tested and tuned at renowned tracks
and iconic roadways across the world,
the LC features a nearly ideal weight
distribution for optimal balance. Low-set,
deeply contoured seats closely align
the driver’s hip point with the vehicle’s
low center of gravity and help ensure
that the driver receives enhanced lateral
support during cornering and high Gs.

Experience the breakthrough that recasts
the entire concept of hybrid performance.
The LC 500h signals the arrival of the new
3.5-liter V6 Multistage Hybrid. Engineered
to feel like an extension of the driver for
unparalleled responsiveness, the LC 500h
features the instant torque and efficiency
of a powerful electric motor with the direct
response of a multistage transmission. The
unique transmission is the result of combining
an Electronically controlled Continuously
Variable Transmission with an automatic
gearbox in order to deliver extraordinary
linear acceleration and the responsive,
visceral feel of a performance coupe. This is
where hybrid means high performance.

PASSION MEETS PRECISION
A grand touring vehicle that challenges
the category, the aggressive stance of
the LC gives way to a seductive interior.
Striking craftsmanship and emotional
forms dominate the cabin as sumptuous
materials cloak every surface. A stunning
balance of bleeding-edge design and
subtle elegance, the sensual interior
signals a new conquest in pure artistry
with details like hand-stitching that
flows deep into the footwells, available
Alcantara® and semi-aniline leather trim,
and evocative door panels that encase
the cabin in rich, undulating lines.
The LC entices with elegance but
emboldens with technology. At the fore-
front of Lexus innovation, the LC premieres
a suite of premium technology, including
the next-generation Lexus Navigation
System4 with a 10.25-inch display and
next-generation Lexus Multimedia® with
a touchpad.5 In addition to offering an
advanced audio system by the industry-
leading Mark Levinson,®6 the LC also features
our most progressive safety technology
yet, Lexus Safety System+. Housed within
the expansive dash, the next-generation
LFA-inspired performance gauge cluster
enhances the alluring sense of depth and
dimension present throughout the cabin.
