When you tune engine components down to a fraction of a millimeter, as one would for a fine wind instrument, this is the result. The engine channels sound through the cabin from front to rear as you accelerate, creating unique frequencies calibrated to elicit specific emotional responses. Take it up to its 7,300-rpm redline and the result is a pure visceral symphony.
An available Torsen®* high-capacity, torque-sensing limited-slip rear differential efficiently distributes engine power to the rear axle. This helps to optimize traction, handling and control in a variety of conditions.
Specifically optimized for the LC, this high-performance transmission changes gears in 0.12 seconds, or half the time it takes the average human to blink. The system also adapts to your driving style by selecting the optimum gear based on vehicle speed, acceleration and your driving habits.
All the intensity. All without compromise. Feel the adrenaline as lightning-fast electric motors and a powerful V6 gas engine propel you to 60 miles per hour in a mere 4.7 seconds.*
When every aspect of performance—from the sound of the engine to the shape of the steering wheel—is crafted around the driver, the result is more than a car. It’s a feeling. Uniting dynamic proportions with ground-hugging luxury coupe elegance, the LC looks and feels like nothing else on the road.
For those who dare to seek the extraordinary, the LC Convertible captures your attention while stirring your senses. Featuring a meticulously designed, lightweight soft top, it offers the same sleek silhouette as its coupe counterpart.
An available speed-activated rear wing helps to reduce lift and optimize the downforce balance for enhanced handling and control during high-speed driving. The wing extends at speeds above 50 mph and retracts at 25 mph.
Crafted to only the highest standards, the cabin of the LC serves as a reminder that every detail is important. From the hand stitching of the leather-wrapped gearshift lever to the exquisite perfection of the Satin Metallic trim, the true beauty of the LC is both seen and felt.
Since the human hand isn't perfectly flat, we set out to design a steering wheel tailored to all its contours. An ideal elliptical grip was achieved by measuring the distribution of palm pressure during circuit driving. Then the cross section was manipulated for the perfect shape at various points, providing optimal grip when cornering with high G-forces.
With a shape designed to help aerodynamically tame the air around you and a lightweight, four-layer soft-top construction, the LC Convertible offers a quiet, comfortable ride. The soft top opens or closes in approximately 15 seconds at driving speeds of up to 30 mph and can be stored without impacting luggage capacity. Additionally, Active Noise Control is designed to sense ambient noise within the cabin and counter it—so you can better focus on your drive.
With wireless access to Apple CarPlay® integration, you can access the same familiar interface from your iPhone® through the vehicle's touchscreen multimedia display. Get directions, send and receive messages via Siri® and make calls. Plus, never be without your favorite apps, like Waze®, Spotify®, and Apple Audiobooks.
An 8.0-inch digital adaptive meter displays vital performance information, including engine operation and G-force meter. And the sliding meter is intuitively operated by steering-wheel-mounted controls and changes with the selected drive mode.
The available full-color Head-Up Display can project key information about your audio, speed, current gear and RPM onto the windshield. Display information can be adjusted to suit the driver.
Every Lexus is backed by a comprehensive warranty that should give you miles and miles of confidence. But in case you wanted to extend your peace of mind, you'll find a variety of plans available, including ones for longer-term care, one that covers accessories and another in the event of a total loss of your Lexus due to theft, fire or accident.
