Inside the All-New Lexus LC 500! - Motor Trend Presents

[@essamallawi9605]

So Randy helped developing this car. They let him drive it and listened to his feedback and made adjustments. I am glad they did. Love Randy :)

[@MotorTrendWatch]

+Essam Allawi Agreed!

[@TWHISPERER]

I'd rather them get the opinion of multiple professional drivers and not just the opinion of one driver.

[@Rmalikk]

Yup

[@ssaini5028]

+John Vu I am sure they are, I mean they are testing the car all over the world

[@JimRaynor2001]

+Jeff M It's fine with me though coz all brands can't satisfy every car lovers. Each car has its own audiences.

[@joeracer302]

Holy crap, I think Lexus knocked it out of the park on design with this one.

[@vaajchang]

jessi you're just the best narrator

[@jessilang2943]

Thank you for that! I love narrating!

[@tombourque7726]

+Jessi Lang good job!

[@sexyitalian891]

+Jessi Lang Agreed you are so awesome!! Miss seeing you! I hope we get to see more videos of you soon!

[@LittleCD]

+Jessi Lang Your narration was on point in this video

[@bigwangmark]

+vaajchang lol to be honest at times I was wondering if it was a real human narrating or one of those japanese robots :)

[@tacosr]

Certainly better looking than the SL65!

[@richzilla08]

+TacoSeniour Hahaha, no.

[@Slimecrazy234]

+richzilla08 It's much better looking than any of the Mercedes.

[@MrMlbfan6]

The sl looks boring

[@Kxji]

+TacoSeniour An SL63 would destroy that car.

[@tigerstyle1733]

Lmao you must be crazy

[@lucajordan1705]

Though this car.. I fell in love with Lexus.. I cant wait for the brands future! The passion, detail and the love that went into this car paired with precision and style.. Ist just a stunning result!

[@MartinCharles]

I love my sc300 and I'm glad the brand is trying to regain its edge

[@randomcontent7239]

The new RC is actually the successor to the SC. :)

[@rivengle]

+Mr. Spoderman No, no it's not. Not nearly as much as the LC is.

[@phines93]

nvm you're right

[@DearMajesty]

+Martin Charles Haha I was just about to say it's one of the few cars people keep around

[@Lucas-LeFever]

+Martin Charles I love my SC400! I'm so happy they are bringing back a stylish coupe because t he RC F wasn't a home run. This could be the winner!

[@EAS573182]

So glad to see Toyota/Lexus leaving their comfort zone. They need more cars that are exciting to drive!

[@JamaicanMeCrazy]

nice narration jessi

[@MotorTrendWatch]

+ray britton Many thanks!

[@JamaicanMeCrazy]

+john jackson oh yeah, unmistakably jessi

[@Blake-uf4rj]

Great to see the company that I own a car from is doing stuff like this. Proud owner of a 07' LS460, 50k miles and running like a champ!

[@nebula_rcf]

50k miles just now breaking it in 🤣 lexus make great reliable cars

[@radudeATL]

Thumbs up if you LOVE the interior as much as I do. Gorgeous!.

[@timb5913]

I Disagree, its boooorrring, everything is one color.

[@radudeATL]

+Tim Borisenko Gasp! I just got a touch of the vapours! lol

[@RaffleReefer10]

+Tim Borisenko, ever heard of the word "custom" by any chance?

[@bliglum]

+Mansa Musa There won't even be a need for customization. I'm certain there will be ample options in color combinations when it's released. rendering final judgement based on the single color seen here is premature.

[@Emilioh888]

I like the voice of the girl presenting

[@jessilang2943]

Many thanks! Perhaps you'd like my Motor Trend videos, too? Hope you'll check out "The J-Turn," and "Wide Open Throttle," on the MT channel. (And, most recently, our week-long SEMA coverage.) Thanks for watching and for writing!

[@Emilioh888]

+Jessi Lang No problemo :) J-turn looks cool. Just subscribed to your channel :)

[@MillCityJam]

+Jessi Lang Great VO Job!! See ya at the Beach....

[@stonewalled9696]

That's a man not a girl, small balls.

[@marcco954]

Great design... almost same as the concept model! Nice work Lexus. Anyway I love Jessi's voice too. It's really nice to listen.

[@TinoMiller]

Nissan, Infiniti, Acura and Honda got some serious competition from Lexus and Toyota. They better step their game up.. Sorry I am not a fan of Lexus or Toyota but they are jaw dropping and beautiful, based on exterior and glimpse of the interior. Nice job to them all.

[@xxxdroidmonkeyxxx]

Have you seen the GTR? That car alone excuses everything Nissan does. 😂

[@eightpool1114]

yeah the q60 my fav. best design

[@TinoMiller]

droid monkey nah it still looks the same and boring.. It has no life unlike Lexus and Toyota. Also lets not forget Toyota got that Mystery Supera!! That car can and might just kill the GTR.. More in Lamborghini and Bugatti level.

[@TinoMiller]

EIGHT Pool meh .. It looks nice but Lexus has nicer SUV's

[@eightpool1114]

+Tino Miller the thing about the q60 s is the design which looks premium something like mb or bmw u know. u mean ft 1 as the mystery supra?.

[@carlosrentas915]

So Randy helped tune the chassis? Great!

[@rcorser1]

Great to hear Jessi's voice!!!! Welcome back. 😜

[@jessilang2943]

Thanks, Robert! It's great to be back!

[@rcorser1]

Hope you are doing well! Will you be posting an updated video on your road to recovery? Hope so!!

[@VaunShiz]

have to do more narrating way better then Johnny Lieberman lol

[@Mediarahan003]

Holy shit that interior is something else. Well done there for sure.

[@christianaugustin7047]

You should've put a Toyota badge on it and called it a Supra. Then you would've broke the Internet.

[@wdpm6424]

Hopefully Toyota uses this body and develops the supra, I also thought on using this same car as the new supra

[@MrFlyboygully]

+Christian Augustin that's so true and honestly hundred grand for this I'm not buying it even if I had the money hundred grand to me for this is not worth itThis doesn't screen supercar not from Lexus now if it was a Toyota bad you know nearI do been all over it like hot cakes hot cakes

[@init4u222]

Possibly they have it planned and it's a teaser to make you think they're not worried about going there again. Probably even the same chassis.

[@acrboi]

+Christian Augustin Don't think people are looking to spend $100,000+ USD fora Supra.

[@EvanderSmart]

+Christian Augustin Mr. Toyoda said at today's presser "This is just the beginning!" If you think they spent all of this time and money to make just one performance coupe that will sell 4-5k a year, you don't know much about the car business.

[@isitchicken]

Just a stunning product! Congratulations to all those involved in the entire process, truly SUGOI!

[@incyphe]

I don't care if it drives bad. This car is home run on just looks alone. It captures the magic of the original SC.

[@raulflores81]

HE SAID "THE SUPRA" @ 5:03! OH YESSS. GOOD THINGS ARE ON THE WAY!!

[@samuelellis1316]

I valet at a hotel. Of all the cars I get to drive, Lexus and Toyota have always seriously impressed me with their interiors (except the corrolla, fuck the corrolla).

[@samuelellis1316]

And? I'm just saying I hate the corolla. It sells because it's affordable.

[@guyproulx1660]

Samuel Ellis and very reliable

[@PWCDN]

I rather own a Civic than a Corolla. But I rather own a Lexus than an Acura. Acura make ugly cars.

[@TheV8Pumpkin]

Samuel Ellis I agree, I have yet to see a lexus with a ugly interior

[@abovemadness]

Phil W Nah not at all I love my 2010 TL the SHAWD is amazing! but since, the looks of Acura have gotten very plain, nice cars drive very nice especially the New RLX great package and tech but much too simple. Lexus however! love the fact that they have been going all out to stand out! and its been paying off no question Lexus has a very nice driving experience, I want the GSF myself lol just not in my budget as of right now. But had the chance to drive it and I absolutely love it. But I still love my TL plan on keeping it forever lol.

[@abirch2014]

It's really evident that everyone who worked on this project were very invested into truly making a great car. They seemed to have not cut any corners and just went for perfection like the LFA. Can't wait to see one in person.

[@texasflysuperstar]

Good VO Jess.

[@MotorTrendWatch]

+Patrick P Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kylemesa6977]

I can't wait to afford one! I currently own a Lexus Ls430 and I have never looked at another vehicle since! The company just knows how to make strong sturdy comfortable cars and I don't think anyone else could compare. Have a great day everyone

[@MrSidhu3]

its beautiful 😍

[@MisakiLeasim]

I was blown away by his speech AND the fact that the car is so close to the concept. Bold moves.

[@jolmeaki]

Could look better. Don't like how the led lights are integrated to the bumper instead of the headlights. Also don't like the silver running down the rear bumper from the tail lights.

[@milopichu]

+jolmeaki but for some reason the spindle grille's finally executed properly.

[@jolmeaki]

+randomdude Hell yeah.

[@shanestaie1294]

usually I'm not into these types of cars, or anything new really.. but this... this is just gorgeous.

[@Dutub2000]

@5:03 "The Supra gives me very natural feel...." Mistake or slip of the tongue? Thanks to +lr balg for noticing this in the first place (I didn't).

[@SonyFoLife]

wow you know i skipped over this video a few times because I don't like what lexus has been doing as of late but i gotta say I'm glad I clicked on this cause this car is absolutely stunning

[@rxonmymind8362]

I better hit the lottery and quick!

[@TheBrokenEclipse]

Besides the silver "mascara" around the head- and taillights this car is the best design I have seen from Lexus ever - keep it up!

[@PhotoArtBrussels]

I love Randy, the car is very nice ..... BUT WELCOME BACK JESSI!!!! :-)

[@mhmdd]

This machine is a big success in car industry! It's never been seen a car gets this much of its concept model!

[@azmanmd9086]

im still wondering when the r36 gtr is coming out

[@chrisinyaass7508]

It's already been confirmed that the R35 production will run for at least 3 more years.

[@evoTimer]

Forget the R36. Where's the new Silvia S16?

[@kmanzszs]

Not before 2020 apparently

[@lucasstrong]

Lexus just made a full-on sports car that is absolutely beautiful on the inside and out. No matter what people have said about Lexus's in the past, even me as a big Nissan/Infiniti fan, you can't disagree that this car blows a lot of other cars out of the water. This is a big deal because Acura and Infiniti will really need to go back to their roots and make a true sports car like this one. BMW, Audi, and Mercedes have to worry now too. Lexus just saved a fading Japanese luxury market, which is really really good. Great narration, Jess! I can't wait to see how this car stacks up to the Q60 and other cars of the same competition!

[@onesolidus]

Soooooo nobody caught that at 5:04 Sato called the car a Supra?

[@jp_0118]

Right?!

[@coffeeblak86]

onesolidus ugly ass supra

[@cobra454tim]

So glad to see Randy had a hand in dialing in the car, can't wait to drive it !

[@deboragiannella5603]

Amazing Lexus 🔝

[@pekoso1]

Wooow, love the video. Jessi You literally sold me on the car, awesome way to tell the story of the LC500 hope to see more projects like this. Great job!

[@ICYASIAN95]

I have a feeling somebody is going to Stance this car SMH

[@MrEmohdee]

+Andrew tran Vossen is probably already designing rims for it :)

[@TheClawsDesigns]

+bradbrad@planbrad can't wait for these to be bagged

[@donloder1]

+Andrew tran 2JZ?

[@rivengle]

+Andrew tran Stancing a perfectly stanced car would kill it. Oh god.

[@corrosivedevourer]

and slap on an ugly liberty walk body kit

[@vanityleap4278]

Parts of the design reminds me of the New Mclaren, but the new Grill design is so fantastic. Well done! The facial expression of the Japanese guy when he heard the feed back about the transmission is just priceless.

[@shonuffgl53]

right around 5:00 to 5:07 he calls it a supra

[@teamthoj7595]

THE NEW SUPRA FT1 SHOULD BE BUILT UNDER THIS 2018 Lexus LC500 SKIN JUST LIKE BACK IN 96 WITH SC300 AND MK4 SUPRA SHARED THE SAME BODY AND ENGINE WHAT WE SAW WITH BMW AND TOYOTA IS STRAITE GARBAGE!

[@timw2083]

My dream car... this coupe looks amazing. My plan is to buy one this summer. I honestly like this more than the C8.

[@enigmaPL]

Can't wait to see where they go with this, and where they go from there. Please don't screw it up Toyota/Lexus, please! Acura shot itself in the foot with the new NSX... can't imagine how heart breaking it must be, to have worked on something that long, and people just ripped it to pieces, but at the same time, rightfully so, seeing how the older NSX is still a better car in every way.

[@d1sturb3d119]

+enigmaPL Ripped it to pieces based on biases. The NSX will not be slower than what Lexus is putting out that's for sure. It's a great car nevertheless. People complained when the original came out and then everyone sat around saying how great the car is.

[@rsuriyop]

+enigmaPL Blame it on Honda for leaving the NSX's design and engineering completely in the hands of some dudes based in California. Congratulations, they just ruined a legacy.

[@usel-gc7jb]

The engine sound of the LFA was the in history best masterpiece of the sportscar.I want Lexus to go through normal aspiration from now on.

[@Methnerjacob]

Why can't Acura be like Lexus....

[@MrMlbfan6]

They used but they got boring they need to hit a home run

[@RMAGEDN740]

+Jake Methner , the NSX is way better!

[@thejam7129]

+RMAGEDN740 lol no

[@Methnerjacob]

RMAGEDN740 My Honda accord hybrid Beats it.

[@rivengle]

+RMAGEDN740 It's also $60 K above the LC's price. I personally prefer the style of the LC a lot more.

[@Jayster943]

The exterior and interior of that car is Stunning. Just from the video you can see quality materials. The design of the interior makes it extremely attractive. Also I have a huge respect for Randy, and if he says the car handles very well, and the engine is great. I kind of have to believe him. Hopefully I will be a lot better than the LCF. Because from what I heard that car didn't meet a lot of peoples expectations.

[@semba_9676]

I wish it will have the LFA V10 engine 💔

[@RaffleReefer10]

They said there will be no LFA successor.

[@MrStevenAttila]

The LC 500 has 467 hp, but the Hybrid version could have an even powerful engine.

[@MrStevenAttila]

Toyota4Life You are talking with me?

[@MrStevenAttila]

Toyota4Life The LC 500 has 467 hp, I did check their website. The hybrid version will have probably more power.

[@MrStevenAttila]

Toyota4Life OK. Thanks.

[@paulleysway]

The interior of the Lexus IS Stunning! Wow!

[@zero00-100]

They should have kept the LFA rear end.

[@Vazztudio]

Amazing that Randy put it input for further development. congrats men, you are the men.

[@accountcar9330]

BMW and Audi are cheap junk if they compare it with the Lexus.I can have a good feeling toward Lexus concerned with a V8 NA engine against a German car shifting to a cheap downsizing engine.

[@johnraphaelestabillo920]

Akio Toyoda really brought excitement to Lexus. Good job!

[@fabulousprofound]

i hear jessi's voice! ^_^

[@jessilang2943]

Good ear!

[@vincefernandez9459]

+Jessi Lang, I'm one of your biggest fans! No, seriously, I weigh like 250lbs. :-)

[@rivengle]

I find it very clever how they hid the front bumper behind the geometry of the grille. Very, very well done.

[@LuckyDuckie115]

SUGOIIIII

[@SpyderRios]

Randy Pobst is the best of both worlds, he is a pro racing driver like the stig but also as eloquent and entertaining as Any Top Gear Presenter

[@JTL-uv6cm]

I'm I the only one who thinks this car is cool but not good looking?

[@rayans9348]

No

[@baseline4102]

I can't imagine how you can see with your bad blind eyes

[@rayans9348]

I think it's a taste matter at this point, and it's okay if our taste is a little bit different than yours.

[@baseline4102]

rayan s BAD TASTE

[@MrFerrarifreak8]

Interior looks phenomenal

[@MANTRAKKK]

what a joke !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@matthewmurray3229]

That interior is gorgeous..

[@astrogen1960]

Very smart of Toyota to give the car to Randy to ring out during the development stage. As good as their, or any manufacturer's in house engineers and test drivers are, they can never look at the project with fresh eyes. But a trained, unbiased and intelligent review should always be listened to and Randy is always honest and pragmatic in his evaluations. Good work Toyota.

[@MrManuel1329]

Finnaly a Lexus RX worth getting actually exciting for since the LFA.

[@cobra454tim]

Thanks Jessi, I'm super excited that Toyota had some balls to make this thing !

[@canadianexposures]

WELCOME BACK JESSI!!!!!! Cannot wait to see you back in front of the camera again!!!

[@satellite964]

This is the first Lexus since the LFA and that looks good.

[@satellite964]

Toyota4Life I have to disagree.

[@KetanSoodKDgameOn]

That is one beautiful piece of art. Lexus LC 500 Is awesome. It looks stunning and let's see if it is good in driving also.

[@vikk5459]

Jessi, you have a great radio and TV voice. Well done!

[@ScottZ370]

What I love about the Japanese car makers is that they are very open in how much they like the competitors cars like the M6 and the Maserati GT

[@CarazyDiamond]

Good work Motor Trend, this probably the second car Motor trend help the manufacturer develop after Mazda MX-5 Miata!

[@shamanprince091]

Simply WOW.. Congrats to Lexus. Looks stunning.

[@sarudedandorm1452]

My Gawd, dut interior

[@m7mmadbasam724]

I want the Lexus back to it is glorious days ! I hope that this LC500 is the step up ! .. hope the materials are different and better than any lexus line up

[@ssaini5028]

Wow I admire Lexus's commitment

[@rucarnuts13]

Finally. A real car that actually looks like a sexy concept car. I love it. I think this is going to start something in the auto industry.

[@neoanderson7]

I can listen to Jessi do voiceover all day. Lots of things on the car not making production. This thing is massive. At least it's RWD.

[@bentesla8203]

Go LEXUS; can't wait!

[@yamasubaruger]

Those seats are F'ing Beautiful!

[@Thulebeez]

Wow MT got some informative insight behind the scene into the LC from concept to development, i am also looking forward to watch the Test Drive end of 2016 and Comparison in early 2017. Great work Lexus !!

[@MotorTrendWatch]

+Thulebeez Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for letting us know!

[@AndrewSmith081998]

This video is perfect in everyway! good job!

[@jorarove1679]

Great Video MotorTrend

[@w-james9277]

Well you cant deny, it looks really good.

[@Geminiman019]

Lexus LC 500 is first production car with 10-speed automatic transmission. Drive selector is controled shift-by-wire, without mechanical connection between stick and transmission. Older Lexus cars had automatic transmissions with cable controlled lever.

[@Kubyy]

This is a bit of a mix of the LFA and the RCF and i really love it :)

[@militaryrankings4325]

The interior looks amazing

[@knkweb]

Awesome performance and horsepower! Great design!

[@Cameron16040]

Beautiful car great narration Jessie!!

It's effortlessly gorgeous. I'll have mine in due course.

[@89forsakin]

I thought design can't be beaten in the lexus rc, so I got a 2016 model one month ago, this is the next level

[@joescerri835]

Looks impressive. I have looked at wheelbase, length, height, engine and width now I want to see it in the flesh to really grasp its essence. Ultimately I want to learn its price point in Australia and can't wait to sit behind the wheel. Lexus in its current position packs luxury in its brands below its competitors and with the sound it delivers I just can't wait. Joe SCERRI Melbourne Australia

[@rayans9348]

Very beautiful interior, can't say the same about exterior.

[@mr.mercury4247]

SUGOI! SUGOI! Lexus is doing work!

[@kenwong6536]

Beauty! Lexus brand is awesome!

[@11jet1331]

The front headlights are a combination of the LFA and the RCF.

[@MicheleFerrariAX]

5:04, did he drop the SUPRA name??!

[@calvinh6647]

If you can hear me, Mr. Akio Toyoda, here are some of my suggestions. 1. Remove the robot's ears ( snow and driving mode nobs ) from dash board. You can relocate them to driving wheel. Maybe do in a triangle shape just like the head light. 2. The head light and air inlet sould come in one piece. Now it looks like the Playboy's logo being up side down. 3. People prefer turn on-off the heating and cooling seats with button rather than writing pad. 4. Analog clock does not fit the vehicle well, at least, for it's current location. 5. Maybe another 5 more inches leg room for rear seats, if possible. For an non-race car driver, this will be more like a perfect car.

[@fullhousegaming193]

I cannot wait to see what this car will look like in production form

[@nancycarson2888]

Definitely will be my next car! Absouletly gorgeous 👍👍👍

[@thekidinhisroom]

I've never been a fan of Lexus. But THIS car looks amazing!! Let's see how it performs when it's ready!

[@baseline4102]

you just started to be a fan of lexus welcome

[@thekidinhisroom]

+basel pc 😁😁😁 BMW would be disappointed lol

[@baseline4102]

😆
