2020 Lexus LC 500: Is This A Super Car, Luxury Car Or Both?

[@TraversyMedia]

Have this exact car color and all. I could not be happier with it. It's worth every penny

[@cryptolord9826]

Yeah mate lucky man congratulations hope to get mine soon

[@brandonlovestech454]

How random, you taught me how to code and now we might own the same vehicle

[@TofuProductionCinema]

My mom recently purchased one (2019 model) and it's quite nice. We've been a family for Lexus for years but this by far is one of their nicest daily vehicles ever made to date.

[@Darac2255]

One of the most beautiful cars on the road...amazing!

[@BenHardyCars]

Dario Ptičar they are amazing!

[@katygirl9221]

I agree Dario Pticar. Nice for a second Lexus to drive on the weekends.

[@MLProductions.1]

@@katygirl9221 you can daily drive this thing for years without major issues. They're GTs not racecars there meant to daily drive.

[@RevLexus]

agreed

[@pepitopepito6598]

Dario Ptičar u got that right

[@NuclearGrizzly]

I've seen it in several colors. Red with the caramel interior is stunning.

[@keronfarrier2198]

By far best example...this black interior no bueno

[@erikracz4162]

Well, if your looking for a car, that's sporty, and dose not look like every other car on the road, this is it! 😄

[@MercilessMrBrooks]

Honestly looks-wise nothing beats this car in its segment.

[@c0rkum]

@@MercilessMrBrooks Agreed, interior included. I see a used one coming my way in the future.

Dude I’ve been looking for this exact review for years. It was just super unique. The weather the camera quality. I feel cozy as if I’m in the car. Finally I can save this video. One of my favorite reviews

[@connorweiss500]

I drove a 2018 LC500 for a day and it was soooooi much fun comfy, fast, and loud

[@awoo1622]

why will you like a loud car?

[@happios]

awoo You can drive in modes where the sound is subdued. So you can decide if you want the growl or not

[@deltadelta666]

The guys who disliked probably have a BMW or an Audi

[@peterfigueroa1237]

I finally bought one; when I say it’s a great car to drive. I really do mean it!! Only thing that will drive a person crazy is the brake squeak when coming to a stop. But dealership says it’s normal. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@TheProjectManager100]

maybe throw some Brembo brakes on it. I am buying a sports car by Christmas this year for myself. I am looking at the 2021 Jaguar F-Type R and this Lexus LC500 Sports Performance Package. Although I love the way the Jaguar's exhaust note just screams, crackles, and pops, it is a common car on the road and they have not done much to change the overall design in the past 6 years. With that said, this Lexus is definitely a head turner. If I go with this I think the only thing I would do is change out the exhaust with an Armytrix Valvetronic exhaust system so I can try to get a similar note that is on the Jaguar.

[@cryptolord9826]

It’s performance brakes buddy I’ve had couple sports cars and they all make noise when very hot

[@lrod312]

You’ll want ceramic brake pads. They’re a little pricier but that should fix the noise somewhat.

[@isaiahrubio562]

[@johnnysmack806]

The snow getting in the car and the smacking can’t take it.

[@bottomtext5872]

Honestly the rear looks like a baby LFA and the exhaust. Such a lovely sound

[@riddler2222]

As an owner of a 2019 LC, its a luxury performance GT. It is not a super car, its a performance GT that spoils the driver in Lexus luxury. If anyone buys one, don't buy the hybrid and get the upgraded version with the performance package as shown in the video, 21" wheel upgrade and of course the incredible Mark Levinson sound system. You can drive this car 500 miles in a day and not feel a bit of driving fatigue. The Lexus infotainment system isn't the best, but with the integration of Apple Car Play, its very usable. Nice job with the camera showing the rear wheel steer!

[@lauragwillim1055]

Thanks for spending a lot of time on the shifting and that growl of the engine. It just sounds so fabulous! I totally get your excitement about the engine sounds! It’s a dreamy, sexy car! I may have to put my Audi A5 cabriolet up for adoption!

[@rajkirannatarajan9276]

4:21 👁 👁 when you look at the tail lights (in real life) it feels like it’s looking back at you. 👁 👁 Very mesmerizing too.

[@TheFragranceJock]

Gonna be my gift to myself for my 50th. Or a Corvette..lol beautiful car and ABSOLUTELY GREAT review as always!👍I decided to go with a Honda Passport for my current car. Should be picking up soon. Would really enjoy your viewpoint on the new Passport.

[@BenHardyCars]

Passport view is dropping tomorrow actually

[@PhillyFan20]

I actually absolutely love the LC 500. It's hard to beat the sound of a naturally aspirated V8. I do wish Lexus would make a Grand Coupe version with 4-doors like the BMW 840i/M850i.

[@jeremiahwildkidd1]

Jackie Chiles nah

[@shannoncrawford7212]

Saw one in person for the first time today and had to follow him for minute to get a good look. Still had a temp tag. Pulled up beside him and gave him the thumbs up. Was on my Yamaha MT-10, so of course we had a little fun for a few minutes.

[@supercarsofwichita9485]

I've seen a couple of these and I love the blue color it comes in as well as the grey

[@wooferjr169]

Yeah for serious sports cars they always sacrifice soundproofing to save weight. And a tighter suspension too. But overall the Lexus engineers really went above and beyond with this. For $109K it is really justified for it's reliability, and comfort.

[@joshuarosales3865]

Lexus is very beautiful😻😻

[@rajkirannatarajan9276]

Definitely not a super car. A luxury car, yes. It’s a balanced GT that’s sold at a reasonable price. It offers a fantastic GT choice in a segment owned by BMW and MB. Nicely crafted, but missing some of the tech stuff like 3d parking available in MB and BMWs But I’ll bet my money that this will outlive an 8 series or an S coupe lol. And depreciate slower too lol

[@louislazarus9253]

Very good review. The redline on the tach changes as the engine warms up. The center console storage door self closes if you give it a slight push.

[@sc1338]

Not to be annoying but the M3 had that in 2001. It’s a beautiful car though

[@ehut12]

THIS IS MY DREAM CAR 😍😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@kris102691]

Same

[@a.f.s.3004]

I tried to buy a new left over 2019 last week. Right now there is an additional 10k rebate for lc500’s left in the midwest,,,no brainer, right? Well,,,guess what? I can’t buy it because there is an open recall for a fuel pump issue. So heres the dilemma....the day the 10,000 rebate came out, so did the recall. The rebate ends feb 3,,,,the recall is not scheduled to be corrected till march....so whats the point? They give an incentive to buy the dang car but they cant sell it to you! Messed up!

[@Wearableputty]

Perfect car for my 24 yr old bachelor self. I love to sit super straight and up close to my wheel as well so I could probably squeeze someone into the back behind me (also 5’6 so)

[@is4life862]

Why Toyota didn’t build the Supra with this chassis instead of outsourcing to BMW for help is beyond me. This car looks amazing

[@-SP.]

Probably not since its RWD

[@LoLPhuocDat]

this is in SLC Utah area, and I highly doubt you’ll be able to daily this in the snow, plus the snow dirt and salt would ruin it!!

[@afrazjavanmardi2077]

what is the point of those back seats? why they don't remove it?

[@MrMrkevo35]

I'm considering this or the BMW M8 very soon. Nice presentation.

[@ZS-xi4xk]

This doesn't compete with an M8. It honestly probably competes more with an 840i performance wise. Even the M850i outperforms this easily.

the comparison to a 911 Porsche is not kind of weird, however the comparison to a Challenger is just NUTS

Sick car. Just wait for the cabrio to come out. 🤤

[@raymast4703]

It's a really, really nice luxury sports coupe. It is not a supercar because it DOES NOT have modern supercar performance because it is so, so heavy. If only it came as a manual, I would already have one.

[@zacharyparis]

Sorry to be picky but they are called "wheels." The "rim" is the outer edge of the wheel. Thanks!

[@MH-hs7ie]

Centre console should open both sides and has soft close which looks awesome as well

[@MrMustangrick]

Both. I have a GS F with this V8. May add an LC 500 to my garage.

[@almolah]

awesome car! I have tested driven it! thought decided not to buy it because its navigation is very old, no touch screen and the lack of Apple's CarPlay and Android Auto is rather laughable!

[@simonj126]

That navigation haha. What is that? MapQuest? (I just dated myself)

[@BenHardyCars]

Abdullah Al-Molah good thing I don’t use those features

[@happios]

Abdullah Al-Molah it has apple car play. I have a 2018 with car play installed by the dealer. 2019 + have factory installed apple carplay Touch pad takes getting used to but it's a small compromise for me considering the rest of the car is as good as it gets.

[@nicolasmikah4168]

[@johnlukach4091]

Certainly NOT a supercar but it looks excellent outside and inside. Certainly a breathe of fresh air. Needs another 150 to 200 hp. Also why does this thing weigh as much as a Hellcat? 4400+ pounds is 500 to 600 pounds too heavy.

[@simonj126]

Kinda funny how they did the 2 separate startup screens. Raptor does the same thing! That shift delay in manual mode is pretty brutal 18:59

[@cambo2910]

Like your enthusiasm, but do a bit more research on the cars details, ie the roof is carbon fibre, those vents are functional air flow vents for the aerodynamics, I have recently bought this car.

[@MPowerSubie12]

Don't forget to fill up the tank after tirekicking! ;)
