This is a 2018 Lexus LC500 - Aside from the Lexus LFA, THIS is the best car that Lexus has EVER made!
I rented this LC500 from a sketchy rental company to show you WHY... and as the title says, I immediately regretted it… There’s 2 reasons for this, first, dealing with the rental company was one of the most painful automotive experiences I’ve EVER had… Issue after issue paired with the worst customer service you’ve EVER had! As of the making of this video, I still haven’t received my deposit back after returning the car 10 days ago… And the second reason… you guessed it… I fell in love with it!
The LC500 was first introduced in 2012 as the LF-LC Concept, which was designed by Calty Design Research in Newport Beach California; Toyota’s North America Design Studio. The same people who designed cars like the 1978 Celica (import car of the year), The infamous Lexus SC, and the incredible Toyota FT-1 concept that gave way to the new supra. But anyways, back to the LC500… After the LF-LC concept was released, EVERYONE in the automotive community loved it. Every single journalist was salivating and they all said… Yeah, but they won’t make it… That’s when Lexus said hold my saki and BAM! They made it almost identical to the concept! And although this car was released in 2017, it still looks as futuristic as ever!
The Lexus LC500 is quite a unique car, especially in today’s day and age… On paper, this car makes no sense. It weighs more than Izzo’s and Nicky Manaj’s asses combined! Engine output doesn’t look good on paper either. It is almost as bad as Elon Musk son’s name… X Æ A-12…. But once you get behind the wheel… that’s where everything changes...
Getting inside the LC500, first when you unlock the car, the door handles pop out and the mirrors unfold to welcome you. It’s pretty cool, but I wish it did this automatically as you approach the car. Instead, you have to either press the button on the remote or get close and push the front edge of the handle for it to pop out.
Being inside the LC500 is just sensory overload! So much attention to detail. Incredible intricate design. Every button, every surface you touch is a tactile experience.
The seats are extraordinary. It’s a fact that Lexus makes the best seats in the industry. If you wanna argue that, you’re a moron! Except if you’re referring to the rear seats!! The back seats are just there for the insurance discount. They are insufferably painful.
Navigation system needs improvement. They got it from the Jurassic Technology department. Would’ve been really cool if they used the entire side of the dashboard to put screens. The passengers could display relevant performance and driving information.
On the outside, absolute beauty! Calty Design certainly makes some of the most unique and memorable designs you’ve ever seen! I love the headlights - just think about the amount of effort that went into thinking, designing, and making these! Look at the front end… a great iteration of the spindle grille and they’ve made the bumper tall enough to clear parking blocks… then there’s the wheels… This one has the 21” wheels with the Big Brakes behind. There’s nothing quite like this on the market!
Take a look at the carbon fiber roof with a strip of chrome trim on the side… this is meant to resemble the Katana from a Samurai standing ready for battle!
The engine is this amazing 5.0L V8 codename 2UR-GSE producing 471HP and 398ft-lb of torque and at higher speeds, I’m not gonna lie, that’s what my butt-dyno feels… but what’s interesting is that I had to make a conscious effort to want to know what my butt-dyno was feeling cause otherwise, I was just distracted by how much fun I was having! The noise this Yamaha V8 makes is viciously intoxicating. Now, the power is sent to the rear wheels through this 10-speed auto and I have to say it feels really good! It’s not a ZF, but is damn near as good. I almost couldn’t tell to be honest. Out of the 10 speeds, 1-6 are your normal “having fun” gears which are meticulously and equally spaced to give you this rhythmic dance while you go through the gears - like a symphony - it’s incredible!! The remaining 4 gears must be some kind of variable gearing for fuel economy because it doesn’t always seem to directly affect RPM, but I wasn’t paying too much attention to it if I’m being honest...
THIS is without a doubt the Supra we never got… It has the build quality of the MK3 Supra with the playfulness and agility of the MK4. Unlike the new MK5 Supra, it has that special Japanese joy sauce… and being a Lexus, as soon as someone breaks that impenetrable ECU, you know these things will be making a 1,000hp all day!

[@TheLJWay]

The LC500 is definitely a great underrated car that offers a lot compared to a S-class coupe, but I don't think people should compare it to the MKV Supra since both cars are for completely different drivers. There's a reason Toyota didn't base the Supra off the LC as it's in a bigger platform with the LS and more of a gran tourer car than a sports car that can be tracked. It's even bigger than the LFA. A lot of people don't give Toyota so much credit on the MKV even though the platform was co-developed with BMW and it forced the Z4 to be sportier vs the previous ones. I love all Supras, but people do hype up the MKIV a lot even though it's competition outclassed it for less money. Sales were poor and it gained popularity after production through Fast and Furious and video games, but the legendary GTR beating Castrol TOM's Supra didn't even have a 2JZ and instead a 4cyl 3SGTE from a Celica.

[@Ace792]

My best friend and I are in a constant war of buying nice cars weeks apart. When I ordered my 2021 LC500, he went and got a new 2021 Supra off the lot. It's been 6 months, we drive together weekly, and have done a really nice road trip together in Western Canada. Other than the new Supra being slightly faster, he HATES that car. It's disgustingly uncomfortable, has incredibly short gears and hits redline too fast, highly computerized, no emotion, and terrifyingly "floaty" at anything above 80 kmh. We've chalked it up to the car having two benefits; It looks great and it's very quick. Nowadays he just drives to the Supra to my place so we can take the LC together wherever we go. When you stop to think about actually living with a car, there aren't many things that keep up with the quality of an LC500.

Plastic everywhere with high-tech screens will eventually be outdated. I think you can never go wrong with raw elements like metals and woods that never goes out of style. If this LC500 had the elegant woods from the classic sc430 and a hard top too... It would be a hit with me. Its really dangerous to add too much tech to people who just want to drive a car without worring if the race model mechanical changes... too much stuff to eventually stop working. Give me the body and a beautiful wood interior, with analog speedometer and im good.

I cant find any cars computer that is doing a 10th of what tesla is doing and it's a shame because the LC500 has SO much room in the front for all kinds of things but has a nearly useless screen in the front

Looks great, sounds great, not necessarily a functional coupe like the RCF but both are terribly slow for the supposed amount of power they offer. Prob overrated by a bit and being held back by the transmission. Quality is there and it is certainly a unique product that will stand out for years to come.

[@mholmes9262]

The biggest issue is 10 speeds and very tall gearing, likely in the interest of meeting stringent fuel economy requirements. Watch where it shifts and you'll see what I'm talking about. They could shorten the first 6 gears by 10-15% and it would make a huge difference. The way it's geared right now the top 4 gears are basically OD gears.

[@sebastianhasbun3846]

@@mholmes9262 1-7 are the only actual usable gears in the LC for spirited driving. It’s such a shame that nobody has been able to fully crack the Lexus transmissions as a proper tune/regearing would make this a different car. The things that people are able to do with the ford and Chevy 10 speeds (hell even the new Honda/acuras) is actually hilarious

[@mholmes9262]

@@sebastianhasbun3846 probably just not a big enough total addressable market to justify the R&D needed for it (it's only used in the LC, LS, Tundra, I believe, all of which sell in small numbers). It makes sense to have shorter gears in a 10A, with the torque multiplying effects it would require less throttle and probably result in better real world fuel economy anyway. Our '20 F150 3.5EB has short gearing in the lower gears and makes effective use of the torque. It could be smoother, though.

Yes, the V8 is enough to make it acceptably fast but it's ancient and more so the transmission. For what they charge, Lexus can do a lot better.

[@Leo-fk9ch]

Friend of mine brought his 2020 LC500 to the track to run with five of us. I drove it for the first two high speed laps. My take … It’s heavy, cornering is poor. Acceleration is on par with coupes that weigh in at the same, but the Lexus engine retards its torque at mid RPMs which in my case meant substantial downshifts to keep the car competitive. The dash is confusing, knobs and buttons all over. For the price, you could do a lot better with an AMG or M series. At the track, it placed way behind the corvettes, C6 - C8s. The Prius rear end look? Really? For a $100k+ coupe? The front is bad enough.

3:08 sorry this is my fault, I talked a lot of shit about my Lexus automatically unlocking itself when I put it in park, they must have changed this for me! 😂

[@davepaturno4290]

I rented the LC500 and now have a Supra. Make no mistake; the Supra is FAR more fun to drive. It is also much faster and 1000 lbs lighter. Of course, if your goal is quiet cruising without concern for fuel mileage, the LC500 is just fine. In between is the LC500h that gets better mileage than both the Supra and LC500.

[@Miguelsgarage]

Why are you comparing two VASTLY different cars that are not even from the same manufacturer? But I'll play... You know what's FAR more fun to drive than a MK5 Supra? An M2... A Corvette C7, and C8 if found around msrp and faster, a ZL1, a Hell Cat... an ACTUAL Supra...

[@davepaturno4290]

@Miguelsgarage I've rented a fairly new LC, McLaren 570S, Porsche 911 4S, Jag F-type, BMW i8, C7 and C8 Corvettes, and even a Vanderhall Venice. I also own an NC MX5. To me, the GR Supra is the best bang for the buck, and it is more reliable than any GM or Dodge product. Besides, it is more unique than all but the McLaren and i8. I don't want a sports car that blends in with the others you mentioned, especially the M2.

At that size and weight it could easily have functional rear seats though.

[@arthurl.9985]

All coupes have tight rear seating,usually the leg room unless you pull the front seats all the way up. I've owned many coupes over the years all of them had tight rear seating. If you need to carry people back there you buy a sedan. I have a lexus RC350 now when I bought it I new nobody would ever sit back there.

[@jml9550]

Try the rear seats on an Aston or 8 series, then tell me if the rear seats are comfortable. If I need rear seats on a coupe, the only option is the s class coupe.

[@jimmy-buffett]

Re: this being the Supra we never got, my LC should be here this week and I'm deciding between LFAJR and REALMK5 as the two vanity plate options. Problem is that a Mk5 Supra is faster to 60, so if I ever pull up next to one it will be embarrassing :-)

[@ytsux9259]

Only children care about drag racing on the streets. However, this is just a few fractions of a second slower, not a whole lot.

[@ytsux9259]

Also, the Supra should've looked like the FT-1 concept. 🙀🙀🙀

[@jml9550]

@@ytsux9259 exactly. This is a gentlemen GT. Who cares about drag race, If I want to drag race I go get a Tesla Model S.

[@jjasonSU]

Neither, please

[@jml9550]

@@jjasonSU yeah, not gonna drag race nor getting a Tesla……Former is stupidly childish and latter is boring other than acceleration.

Needs AWD for us in northern climates. Otherwise I stick to an RS car from Audi.

1:21 "infamous" Why are you saying the was infamous? Change that to "legendary" or something like that. There was no infamy around the SC.

Gawd she’s gorgeous. Ugh.

[@Liquid_Cooled]

Great GT tourer, terrible sports car. Looks and sounds great but SLOW

[@saturdaynightboogiemusictv8569]

Great car just test drove it very heavy and the seats where super tight and made not buy the car I'm not a small guy but cannot believe my M2 has more room and I passed on buying it but everything else was amazing especially if you have a skinny ass.

[@tonymykhaylovsky7505]

That was my impression as well. 5 10, wider shoulders maybe, but could tell the seat wasn't able to hold the frame. This was a dealership test drive. Renting a LC for 1 day to really understand if it's for me.

[@MenofValueSpeaks]

Noticed the same. I have more room in my Q60. Even in my sisters GSF, I had less leg room than my Q60... I'm 6'4. Couple that with 350wtq, and it feels like a economy electric vehicle will embarrass you.

[@ajkaye5719]

The title and intro dont match.. NEXT!! 👎🏻

[@onlinealias622]

4:32 I’d say Volvo is a strong contender here

[@edblair5253]

The best car lexus ever made was the rx350 aand ls400

This is much better made!
