  • 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.

    The first most notable change is the new Nori Green Pearl paint, which is an exclusive for this particular series. This sexy shade of green not only complements every angle of LC’s stunning design, but also contributes to the overall premium feel, all along with the 21-inch two-tone set of wheels.

    In terms of interior, LC Inspiration Series is also as appealing as the exterior body design. The designers have included a two-tone color scheme that highlights the exceptional craftsmanship in every LC in the lineup.

  • Surprise! Lexus shows a sporty beast way ahead of official debut!

    2016 Lexus LC 500 Sports Car  - Front AnlgeLexus has just revealed a sweet-looking and powerful race car, based on the LC 500 model. The striking visuals include boldly widened fenders, massive skirts, big spoiler and rear diffuser. All this blended with just fine proportions.

    Other notable features are the weight of just 1,020kg and a powerful 2.0-liter direct-injection four-cylinder turbocharged power unit, paired to a six-speed sequential transmission system. Also, there is a sweet aerodynamic pack with light-weight components.

    What we don’t know, though, is vehicle’s real race capabilities. Testing is scheduled for the next month and what we do expect is some neat sprint times, agile cornering and of course, Lexus’ exclusive road confidence.

    In fact, we did like the standard LC 500 model. As usual Lexus has geared this one with tons of modern features, systems and additions that made the car pretty appealing for all brand fans out there. That’s why we expect that the sporty version will be that good and capable. However, it has became a sort of trend for car manufacturers to create sporty editions of standard models. Hopefully with Lexus it won’t be just a trend or fashion, but also a step forward into new automobile world horizons.

    The LC 500 will be launched in 2017, but good news is that there will be more information pretty soon. So, stick with us!

  • 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.

    What powers the LC 500? The answer: the 5.0-litre V8 engine which is mated to a 10 speed automatic that drives the rear wheels. By the way, this is the first Lexus model which uses the new rear-wheel drive luxury platform. The latter was designed to deliver enhanced dynamic capability.

    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.
