The Lexus LC is appearing with a compelling blend of exotic looks, intoxicating V8 noises and performance and finely tuned dynamics.
The 10kg less weight is one of the major tweaks of 2021 LC, as it equipped with new aluminium lower suspension arms, a hollow anti-roll bar with a revised diameter, a new high-strength coil spring material and lighter rear wheels for the 21-inch wheel option.
To capitalise on the added agility and precision that brings, Lexus lengthened the stroke of the adaptive front dampers and optimised the rigidity of the bump stops to create a smoother overall suspension stroke.
The LC 500’s 10-speed automatic paired to the same 470 hp/540 Nm 5.0 litre naturally-aspirated V8 as before.
As for the LC 500h, the Multi-Stage Hybrid drivetrain, which combines the electric motor with a four-speed automatic to simulate the feel of a 10-speeder, now downshifts to second instead of third.
