2024 Lexus LC500 Quick Review

The 2024 Lexus LC500 Convertible ($129,186 starting in Canada, $106,550 starting in the US) is a comfortable GT cruiser, with a 5.0L V8 engine that bellows out a sonorous note and 471 horsepower as it climbs to its 7100 rpm redline. Best enjoyed with the top down, the LC500 Convertible makes a strong case for why it should be the GT car of choice. And given its price in comparison to some of its competition, the LC looks to provide some serious bang for your buck in the comfy GT category. Thomas and James are always happy to be behind the wheel of an LC500 - let’s see what they have to say! We hope you enjoy the episode. SUBSCRIBE!

Thanks to your original review, I purchased a used white on red LC500 Sport+ 5.0. It is literally the perfect car for anything. It gets enough MPG to not make you cry (best I've done is 39MPG LONDON to ANTWERP and back) but will always put a smile on your face when you drop a few gears and give it the beans through a tunnel. I bought mine for £53K with 30k miles 2 years ago, and its already on 63k miles. For the price, I do not think there is another car that is as fun, as characterful, comfortable or as striking as the LC500.

It's just so nice. The AMG GT is probably my favorite car, but if I was actually spending that much, I'd buy an LC500 and own it forever.

[@supermegaunderrateduploade6686]

The AMG GTS is also my favourite car, but the LC500 would live until I’m dead and then some more! I mainly fell in love with this car based on its looks but even more in Gran Turismo 7, it sounds so great and actually handles very well with its weight granting it insane grip in high speed corners. Low speed corners also feel tight and a bit slippery with acceleration, there’s no understeer! It is just a game after all but if I can get an LC500 to drive just like it does in Gran Turismo 7, I’m set for life.

I’ve driven both the coupe and convertible, and while i prefer the looks of the coupe, the roof line etc. The convertible makes up for that with that symphonic V8, the open air, and top down, you forgot everything. The compliments are non stop, not to mention, it’s so rare, most people don’t even know what it is. This vehicle is basically your weekend morning meeting with the psychologist. Get in the seat, drive and the vehicle listens and gives the best advise through it tones, and leave feeling to tackle life with a smile and gratitude.

I've owned a '21 LC500 convertible and now own a '24 bespoke LC500 convertible. I've also driven the RC-F and IS500 at Lexus' performance driving school, which is an excellent event for seat-time-per-dollar. You're absolutely right about the IS500. Such a great car and the price is unbelievable. The GS-F is better for a few reasons, probably not worth the extra price to most people. And the LC is a body kit and a valved exhaust. As with IS-F's, the IS500 will hold its value unbelievably well. I think these LC's will eventually appreciate and become collector's items, but the IS500 will always be the cheap way to get this amazing engine.

[@hamsterbrigade]

The issue with the IS500 is the transmission. If it had the 10 speed in the LC500 I would have bought it. I owned an ISF before I test drove the IS500. I'm over the transmission, it makes the car feel lazy to me. I think the 10 speed in the LC, while not perfect(there are a few low speed scenarios it doesn't handle smoothly), it light years ahead in immediacy and box office.

Like button is not enough for this video, there should be a "I'm lovin' it" button

[@HoopAndLife]

The cut off at the ending 🤣

[@abdallaosama2873]

It makes me really sad that this car will gain traction and it's price will become marked up. This right here is my (realistic) dream car except the hard top not the convertible. Absolute beauty!

[@19hundoc47]

No one is marking up this car lol

[@danielcaponera5771]

Correct. Especially the convertible. This will be a bargain in 3-5 years. Used market is overpriced right now.

[@comeberza]

This is probably my favorite car in the reasonable realm. Good, looking, great engine, gorgeous interior. I'm not the most sporty driver, I love cruising, driving top-down and looking at my car from the window. If I had been born 10 years earlier...apart from a monumental crisis right at the beginning of my career, I would have close to buying this

[@edwardlc500]

I am dentist, and I am going to order this car next week:)

[@sukhmindervirk]

watching the video, the fun part is when you both go quiet... just enjoying the car.

[@bren.nan_]

i think this is the perfect homage to the LFA, it looks amazing

[@Greyle13]

14 minutes of the guys gushing over the LC 500. I smile the whole time I drive mine too.

[@thealanshow25]

I got mine. The best car of all time.

[@AAA-mz3zo]

Everytime I watch you guys, you put a smile into my face. You guys are the best to watch. Thank you

[@MrBon3sz]

This car will be a gift to myself after I graduate medical school

[@lmphm]

I have the 2023 version of it for almost a year and i'm loving every minute driving it. Best car I've ever driven

[@CruiseControl1]

The LC500 is fantastic and weird in the best way. Great review and loved the banter.

[@jaggedarts33]

In blue and chrome and white interior... it looks timeless almost. Beautiful.

[@thelawfamilyproduction]

I drive the 17 GSF and simply love it. Modded the exhaust and sounds even better.

[@mls.design]

It’s way better than a Bentley.

[@fengstar1]

cars like this are a reminder that sound is so very important

[@JohnFontaine-b4p]

In my humble opinion, this is the perfect car review video (and lord knows I’ve watched too many AND it’s just an Xtra of a car they’ve already done!!). Succinct, details where needed, genuinely hilarious, just the right amount of dialogue. Many thanks to the Throttle House team for continuing excellence and hard work! Also thanks for vaulting this car to the absolute top of my wishlist 👀

[@raycordero01]

ONE OF THE BEST REVIEWS ABOUT THIS MAGNIFICENT PIECE OF ENGINEERING!!! THE COMBINATION OF YOU GUYS IS AMAZING! THIS REVIEW AND THE LEXUS LFA ARE TWO OF MY FAVORITES BY FAR! INLOVE LEXUS FOR CREATING THIS AMAZING ENGINEERING MACHINES!!!! GOD BLESS YOU GUYS!!!

[@liammistry37]

I'd love them to make a MX5 competitor with this style... :D

[@ApothecaryTerry]

The FT-Se is probably as close as it'll ever be possible to get to that.

[@fortheloveofnoise]

MR2 is coming soon, will either be a 3 cylinder mid engine or 4 hybrid possible manual. Celica is being worked on as well, but may be an EV...if not, a hybrid.

[@FatumConfido]

literally my dream car journey... mx5 then lc500. one day!

[@Aleppo.1234]

The intense enthusiasm for the car is evident even before riding inside it, unlike the review of the Mercedes SL 63, where any flaw was sought to highlight.

[@pstoppani]

Neighbor has one in red; gorgeous car. I considered one but went with a C8 Z51. Not as pretty but sounds pretty good :)

[@ryants1]

Same! I almost got the Lexus but went for the c8. Wanted a more exotic look/feel

[@anthonykiedis1765]

Same! Went with a C8 Z51 instead. Not to say I won't have an LC500 in the future, but it will be super hard to give up the mid-engine goodness and face melting launches.

[@stetsonwashington]

This channel and Hagerty are my favorites. You can see ya'll actually like each other and it shows in the reviews.

[@GCTO239]

Just an epic car! ❤ Thank you, Lexus! Agree with you, guys!

[@InvestBetter.]

Simply, the finest automobile to ever come out of Japan I am seriously considering picking up an LC, in this exact spec

[@tctc2803]

After all these years, the tail lights design are still stunning👍 (front end still a bit iffy)

[@lc500yyc]

I just bought a 2019 LC 500 in Infrared (hard top performance package of course) I could not be more thrilled. It has so much thought put into the design and feels incredible to drive. Not to mention it turns heads way more than any other car in its price range. I do wish I had the new touch screen though!

[@mjleg1]

This is what the numbers don't tell you. People need to stop looking at a spec sheet and look for an EXPERIENCE. There is absolutely no need for something faster, and this way you get to enjoy the sound without being in jail. If you add reliability to the scale, the value is off the charts.

[@naijaman1]

Thank you. I’m fed up with all the it’s slow and needs 150 more hp comments. Most of those folks can’t actually afford the said cars they drool over . I remember cross shopping an M5 with a NA V8 Panamera 4S : the M5 was more powerful but was no driving fun - 4 seconds of acceleration and already at get a ticket speed - what fun is that ? I honest don’t understand the obsession with 0-60: in the real world you can’t tell a 0.5 sec difference. Who goes around accelerating hard at every traffic light ? Live in a city and there’s traffic , potholes and other distracted drivers to navigate. Jeez. To each their own . Go buy your 0-60 in 3 seconds German or Mustang car and leave the LC500 alone

[@nathanhagerman9928]

*This and the Jaguar F-Pace SVR.* 1) Both have top tier V8 sound tracks 2) Both are bargains within their respective classes 3) Both had late model infotainment overhauls that made said infotainment systems genuinely easy to use 4) Both were reviewed on the extra channel and received fantastic praise Not exactly a 2 car solution, but definitely a power couple in the garage for retired folks with money and style.

[@0mnil0rd]

Have a 5.0 Mustang to get just a taste of this engine layout. V8, DOHC, Cross-Plane Crank, its really an amazing system. They're both dual injected as well. Smooth power delivery, great sound. I'll be saving my money for something like this in the future. A comfortable car that makes an amazing noise is really all a daily needs sometimes.

[@fortheloveofnoise]

I'de like one and manual swap it but im poor and drive a 27 year old Sentra (at least it is manual though).
