Lexus LC 500 Review: The Most Under-Rated Car of Our Time

Рет қаралды 46,916

Ай бұрын

It’s time to test drive and review the 2024 Lexus LC 500!
The LC 500 isn’t just an under-appreciated car - it’s also lesser known outside of car circles. “LC” stands for “Luxury Coupe,” and the full name of this particular car is actually the 2024 Bespoke Build Lexus LC 500 Coupe.
The LC 500 comes with a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 engine (no turbos here!). The car makes 471 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque, and all of that goes through a 10-speed automatic to the rear wheels - sending this two-door hardtop from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 4.4 seconds.
The cost of the LC 500 also hasn’t risen a ton in the past few years. The first LC, which debuted in the 2010s, started at $92,000. This one starts at $97,700. The price hasn’t grown at nearly the rate of inflation.
Lexus doesn’t sell a lot of LC 500s, in spite of their inflation-proof status. But there are still all kinds of models: convertibles, coupes, hybrids (called the LC 500h), and limited-edition models like the “Inspiration Series.” This car comes in Ultrasonic Blue Mica, one of the LC 500’s many beautiful exterior colors, and people often mistake it for Lexus’ famous Structural Blue. (Read up on that if you haven’t heard about it!)
The first time I drove this car, I knew I wanted to be an LC 500 owner one day. Whether that happens is still to be determined, but the LC is one of the greatest cars of our era - and ownership of it should be an honor for anyone. I hope this video shows you what I mean.
Thanks for watching my KZfaq channel. Enjoy the drive!

I can't help but stare at LC500's when I see them on the road. I would argue that they are one of the most beautiful cars ever made. It is a crime that no one buys them. If I had the cash I would buy one in a heartbeat.

the reason its underrated is because no one wants to be unique anymore. Someone looking for a sports car in this price range is probably gonna either go with german or american just like every other guy on the road. The hidden gems are always overlooked and usually have the best overall quality. There should be a check list of things to take into consideration while buying a car but all most people care about is brand reputation.

I am very happy with my decision. Your video is crisp and detailed so thank you. I am actually OK with less sales which makes this car somewhat rare. You do not see too many of on the road, and when you do see one, they are appealing to look at.

What's crazy is that the sales of LC500 is getting better each year since it came out in 2018, 1700 units sold in a year is nothing compare to the rest of the F line up, with GS-F being the rarest (only 2082 units sold in total in the US, RC-F and IS-F sold about 5000 units each). And the color Ultrasonic Blue Mica 2.0 has being used on Lexus vehicles for years, the rarest color on the LC500 is the Structural Blue, which is featured on the Inspiration Series.

The LC500 is my fav sports car, I love to own several. The price of new cars are so expensive, especially here in Europe, the days when our dad and grand parents bought their cars out right are long gone. People lease their cars to make ownership attainable and when the options of similar price are Porsche, Audi, Mercedes and BMW, a lot of buyers tend to choose those brands because they want to show others they have made it because of brand prestige. As they are leasing, 3,4 years, reliability is not a consideration that are high in their decision making. Which takes onto a point that I find strange: its ok for a car to have poor reliability because it is covered under the manufacturer's warranty(?) BMW, Audi and Range Rover comes to mind. The LC is understated elegance and here in Europe, a very rare RELIABLE NA V8 that would still work 15+ years down the line unlike the other brands. I'm glad not many people would know what car a 'Lexus LC' is............those type wouldn't know who Rembrandt or Chopin were. This V8 LC is very likely to be the last RELIABLE V8 that we could buy in the next 2 to 3 years before Lexus sadly cease production, but it will out live well past all the other options as they will end up in breaker's yard long before hand.

Lexus really should have capitalized more on the LC as a halo car to boost their more practical/cheaper cars. Unlike Audi with the R8, they did not follow up the introduction of the LC with other cars that have similar levels of styling, technology, or performance. Instead, they seemed to have let the IS, ES, RX, NX, etc. languish with arguably busy styling, and performance that trailed much of the competition. There was too much of a gulf between the LC and their other cars to have any serious connection. Instead, the forgettable, normal cars likely contributed and dragged down the reputation of the LC500. If they had come out with the recent crop of vehicles earlier (the new RX, NX, GX, etc.), they would have fit a lot better with the technology and design language of the LC. It's too bad those improvements to their line-up came so late that most people either forgot or never knew the LC even existed.

Totally fair assessment! It’s such a good halo car

An excellent review of the vehicle! I have the 2023 LC500 in Nightfall Mica. They discontinued the color for 2024. It’s looks make even people who aren’t into cars do a double take. It’s so rare because they’re not easy to find on the road or in marketing. For once, I’m going to enjoy the appreciation in value of my vehicle!

It's hard to explain how good this car looks in the real world. I've seen lots of videos and photos and never cared that much either way. I just saw one in person and, yes, it is a truly beautiful thing with so much presence. It is one of the best looking cars out there.

great video !!! Well done !!! I had SC 400 and later the SC 430 Convertible. I'm German, the SC400 I imported from Florida, wasn't available in the european market at the time. The SC430 was a dream, but no trunk. In Europe we've now the final edition available, in white outside and blue inside (it's really blue blue inside).... But the marketing from Lexus is just a nightmare.... I have never received from Lexus any invitation to get knowledge of new models, nothing at all.... as a former customer, they do not care of you 😞

It has just enough performance to keep you on your toes. That exhaust note is fire! Have a C8 Corvette and I’d take the LC over it any day. Truly a gem no one knows about.

Made the decision to get a 2024 about a month ago. The car is absolutely amazing. One of the best sounding cars I have ever owned and a blast to drive. It truly has a split personality, because it can do loud and raucous or serene and comfortable. I think one of the reasons it is not a big seller is that on paper it is just not impressive. In a world with 600 hp+ cars that will go to 60 in sub 3 seconds it falls to the back of the pack. The only way to truly appreciate this car is to drive it and experience it, that is when you realize none of the big numbers matter. I have owned a 2017 911 turbo, several other 911s, M cars, and AMGs and I can say none give the experience that this car does. It absolutely has to be experienced to truly appreciate it. It is a fantastic vehicle and a true hidden gem.
