  • 2022 Lexus LC 500 Inspiration Series: Relax and Unwind

    2022 Lexus LC 500 Inspiration Series

    For more than five years, Inspiration Series has taken iconic Lexus vehicles and elevated them to a new level of exclusivity. The anything-but-standard Lexus LC 500 turns heads on its own, but each Inspiration Series levels up that experience via unique designs, thoughtful grand touring experiences and fierce performance enhancements. The 2022 Lexus LC 500 Inspiration Series continues that legacy while focusing on a meditative in-cabin experience that a select few can enjoy.

    Just 150 units will arrive in dealerships beginning in late spring 2022.

    The Inspiration Series Difference

    The 2022 Lexus LC 500 Inspiration Series stands apart from the standard LC 500 with subtle but alluring touches. This limited-edition vehicle is offered in an exclusive aesthetic combination: Iridium exterior and black ornamentation paired with an enticing Black and Dark Rose interior that promotes endless driving enjoyment.

    Building on the LC 500 Touring Package, the 2022 LC 500 Inspiration Series adds unique, 3D-machined 21-inch wheels paired with bold black finishes on the grille, headlamp, taillamp and rocker garnish and a sleek, coupe-exclusive rear air wing spoiler. The can’t-miss convertible adds a Dark Rose fabric top — a stunning contrast to the Iridium exterior.

    Exclusivity continues in-cabin with stainless-steel Inspiration Series scuff plate door accents and a serialized badge on the center console numerically recognizing the limited 150 units produced.

    The calming Dark Rose interior accents contribute to the meditative in-cabin experience. Semi-Aniline leather-trimmed comfort (coupe) and sport (convertible) seats are beautifully contrasted with Dark Rose stitching, perforation and Dark Rose front seat belts. The 2022 LC 500 Inspiration Series Convertible also offers unique climate concierge with upper body heating and NuLuxe Headliner. Drivers can continue the relaxing experience with their soundtrack of choice projecting from the standard Mark Levinson 13-speaker 915-watt Reference Surround Sound Audio system.

    The LC Inspiration Series comes standard with a SmartAccess Key Card and a Head Up Display (HUD) that projects a range of information onto the bottom of the windshield glass. Relevant information can be displayed to the driver without taking their focus from the road such as: road speed, gear, engine speed, turn-by-turn directions, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control status, Pre-Collision System, Lane Keep Assist/Lane Departure Alert, warning indicator information icons and clearance sonar.

  • Lexus LC Coupe has earned special recognition by prestigious jury

    2018 Lexus LC CoupeLexus’ flagship model, the LC luxurious coupe has proven itself worthy and it is named as one of the top three performance vehicles in Australia. A prestigious jury at “Australia’s Best Driver’s Car” award have claimed that this particular model features stand-out drivetrain system and incredible advanced gadgets.

    What has done a special impact on judges’ choice was the exquisite metal form of the Yamaha-tuned 5.0-liter V8 power unit that is paired to an exclusive 10-speed automatic gearbox and produces the massive 470hp (351kW) and 540Nm of total power output.

    Also, there was one more thing that has helped the LX to achieve such recognition – it is fine-tuned and especially geared with numerous engineering technologies that altogether aid both the vehicle and driver to deal easily with technically challenging racetracks and quick quarter-mile drags. Sweet, isn’t it?

    Some of these engineering improvements include on-track performance test that showcased incredible stability and has highlighted the credentials of the rear-drive chassis and vehicle’s optimal weight distribution. LC also impressed both jury and enthusiasts with crisp steering with neat feedback and satisfactory overall feeling of control.

  • Lexus LC 500 and 500h Make North American Debut

    Lexus LC 500 and 500h View From Above The exclusive Lexus models, LC 500 and LC 500h coupes have made their first appearance today at the New York International Auto Show. This is their North America debut and they are being shown together for the first time in front of the US public. Well, we have seen the LC luxury coupe in Detroit in January, but the real debut here is for the LC 500h. Although the car has been premiered in Geneva, the New York preview is important because it aims at the customers in North America.

    The flagship coupe in the lineup was inspired by the unique LF-LC concept. As we know, it represents a shift in Lexus engineering processes and design philosophy. The car is defined by aerodynamic shapes, stylish curves and wider stance. Inside, the car has cockpit-focused interior with a driver hip point positioned as close to the vehicle’s centre of gravity as possible.

    On the other hand, the LC 500h delivers exhilarating performance and high levels of efficiency. It uses world’s first Multi Stage Hybrid System and absolutely new hybrid powertrain. The system aligns engine speed with throttle inputs, but at the same time offers great balance of power and fuel economy. In addition, it also features ‘M’ Mod, which includes driver-initiated gear-shifts that provide direct and responsive changes.

    At last but not least, the Lexus GS F is also making a US premiere next to the 2016 RX SUV. The latter has been wrapped in a unique color print made by the famous designer Jeremy Scott. Besides these exclusive cars, Lexus will also debut the GS F and RC F “360 Virtual Reality Experience”, which will enable visitors to experience the high performance F vehicles.
