Does the 2024 Lexus LC500 Bespoke Edition bring muscle car V8 and luxury sports car?

[@RaitisRides]

I don't about you but I can not get enough of the V8 rumble from the LC500! Let me know you thoughts on it in the comment sections.

This is one of the finest cars you have reviewed, Joe. Thank you for bringing it to us.

[@RaitisRides]

You are so very right Suzanne

[@alan_is_insane2343]

Smiling the entire drive. That’s what amazing cars do. The LC truly does everything well and is an engineering masterpiece.

[@gavangiampietro8296]

LC500 has got to be the most underrated luxury car on the planet and one of my favorite cars ever. I love how this doesn’t have lots of gloss black on the inside like a Mercedes does. If you have gloss black in a car do it subtly like Rolls Royce. It doesn’t have a dash that creeks like crazy, and it’s waaaaayyyy more reliable and higher quality for cars double its price point or more. It has all the high quality materials everywhere you want. Leather on the side of the seats which some higher end cars don’t have carbon fiber door sills, literally a perfect car!!! Thanks for doing the review Joe!!!!

@@duquem0421Nah. It’s that other cars are better at the GT thing. They may not be as pretty or in some cases as well made but they all are more competent in any objective measure. No one is shopping this segment for reliability. There is huge disconnect between the people that comment here and actual buyers.

[@gravy_brain]

I would definitely take the LC before a C8. No question. Pure class.

[@fragoutrambo6381]

Absolutely. I believe the Lc500 is everything the corvette should have been. Its the reason I went with a C7 and will defintely upgrade to a LC500 in the future. Lexus really nailed the luxury, reliability, and performance balance. It is unmatched and worth every dollar.

Yo, it's all about the feels, man. That LC 500, it just makes you feel good, y'know? Forget about 0 to 60 times and all that marketing jazz. This ride's all about the pure joy of driving.

[@davonne225]

caviar color is classic for sure. That is one of the sexiest grilles I have seen a luxury sports car in a while. The Lexus grilles will age like fine wine. Nice wheels, look like wheels you would see on an Aston Martin. That is one of the best looking interiors I've ever seen. That tan color is amazing

[@amill1563]

More than a loaded C8 but less than a Z06. Love the "dipped" interior. Prices tanked on these a while back but looks like they are up nowadays. Love the exclusivity, styling, traditional V-8.

[@RaitisRides]

I’m so glad that you like this one Toby

[@Arcynite]

Do prefer the look of the older screen implementation. Looked so much more streamlined and integrated better with the design spanning all the way to the passenger's side vs the updated one of just a screen slapped on the middle not even bothered to be melded with the design at all...that said I'm sure the new infotainment is much more usable. I am biased though as I absolutely love my 2018 LC500 to bits.

[@dennyquach7527]

Still an absolutely stunning design. Lexus for the past decade or so has really killed it in that department.

[@sasquatchlife8836]

Love your reviews! My only zonk with this one is how to access the heated/cooled seats. Wish they had physical buttons. Why make it a 2 step process when it could’ve just been 1 step? But minor issue. What a perfect car honestly. Just gorgeous and that V8 rumble is on point

[@TheSpeedDemon64]

This looks super cool!

[@McLeanGary]

Super clean interior and I love the rear treatment, best looking Lexus to me for sure. Great review and yes the motor sound is amazing!!!

[@chevronIX]

Thank you for reviewing this. My "attainable dream car" since I caught a glimpse in person on the road a few years back. Toyota product, performance, NA V8, it's only missing the manual transmission but I will forego that since this is more of a performance GT car. Hope I can rest one soon!

[@petewatchcollector]

Really nice review by the Raitis! Love this vehicle. Was the annoying beeping while drving the lane assist? Can that be disabled? Great stuff!

[@xorbitman]

That car really is cool! I believe the wheels are silver finish with the darker portion is called Titanium finish. This two tone wheel is very very expensive to repair or replace. Great review as usual Joe. Thank you.

[@ma3aleek]

Raiti’s, if you had the option to buy the coupe or the convertible what would you choose? Since you did lots of reviews of the lc500

[@pacman5281]

I LOOVVEEE THE WHEELS!!! BEAUTIFUL CAR!

[@michaelberke9709]

Great review Joe. Spot on about so many positive things, especially exclusivity & lexus quality build, probs holds it value than most other lexus models (bar the LFA of course). All of why I got the nori green pearl vert and love it. Being a heavy GT car I find it’s comparable segment to include some Aston’s, Maserati GranTurismo, BMW 8 series, Mercedes 4 seat convertibles, arguably V8 Bentley, etc. Rumor is ‘25 will be the last LC year, with a new coupe coming to replace both the RC and LC, making the very limited production of the LC even more timeless. We’ll see soon I guess.

[@JJ-wi2uw]

This car has soul and will be a modern classic.

[@Hajnik79]

I appreciate this car just as much as the 13-16 audi RS5 v8. Beautiful cars!😊😊🇨🇦

[@rachaad]

The most gorgeous car ... but the availability of Bespoke are very limited by dealership for some reason , the car in general is so limited

[@RaitisRides]

I guess because they are not meant to be top sellers

[@deanvagnozzi]

Joe, great reviews...you've reviewed the Porsche 718 GTS boxter too. (chalk/red)....you seem equally excited about both. Similar $. Which would you buy. Porche going to electric, Lexus likely to discountinue the lc500. I did own a 2013 boxter for 6 years. loved it. Part of me wants something different. Which would you buy and why?

[@thelastcopier]

Beautiful, reliable, and fast. I would want a hardtop as my commuter if I didn't work from home.

[@GaddZZooks]

The original SC400 from 1993 is still the best looking Lexus of all time.

[@RaitisRides]

That is debatable

[@MercOne]

No way. That SC looks like shit now. The LC is best looking car they’ve ever made, followed by the LF A.

I think the only car of its class I'd pick over it is the Ferrari Roma, and that's triple the price for only 1/3 more car-can't beat the LC's value. Someone please make a supercharger kit for this car though, not because it needs it, but because the LC-F never launched and some of us are thirsty.

Well, I am not in love with this car. I am in LUST with it. But I just have 340 miles on my new 2025 Camry which I could afford. I will have daydreams about this car for years. My last two cars have been Toyotas metallic white which glows in sunlight and when headlights strike. And now I wonder if the metallic black has similar effects. Another great review.
