Performance that Excites You On Every Journey
The 2023 Lexus LC 500’s engine is a high performance 5.0-liter V-8 engine that generates a whopping 471 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque. Mated to a 10-speed direct shift automatic transmission, power is sent to the rear wheels and helps this sports car rocket to 60 MPH in as little as 4.4 seconds.
Opt for the 2023 Lexus LC 500H and you’ll trade in the high performance V8 with an Atkinson-cycle V6 engine that’s been paired with an invigorating hybrid system. Employing the help of a continuously variable automatic, this thrilling hybrid uses a rear wheel drive configuration to rocket you to 60 MPH in as little as 4.7s seconds while still returning an EPA estimated 33 MPG on the highway.
The LC 500 Isn’t Just Fast in a Straight Line
The 2023 Lexus LC 500 isn’t just fast in a straight line, but instead it uses key performance features to ensure that your experience on the road is breathtaking:
Hear the Roar
Active Sport Exhaust can change the harmonies of your exhaust note on command and create sweet melodies as the V8 engine roars its way to its 7,300 RPM redline.
Put Power to the Ground
An available high-capacity Torsen® Limited Slip Differential evenly distributes engine torque to the rear axle to optimize power and lend to optimal control.
Stop with Confidence
Six piston calipers with two piece rotors give you unbelievable stopping power, while resisting brake fade.
Shift with Lightning Speed
The 10-speed automatic transmission is unlike any other on the road. Specifically engineered to meet the LC 500’s needs, this quick shifting transmission can change gears in as little as 0.12 seconds – about twice as fast as the blink of an eye.
Active Rear Wing
The rear wing isn’t just for looks. At speeds above 50 MPH, the automated rear wing will raise up to provide additional downforce and give you enhanced control at high speeds. When you drop below 25 MPH, your wing will retract discreetly into the rear fin.
