Good morning guys! The day is finally here and we’re so excited to show you how the new LC500 Convertible sounds like with the top down. We did one to clarify one thing, we mentioned an upcoming LC-F and after we filmed this video, a couple publications had posted that the rumored LC-F has been cancelled due to the pandemic. It’s twin-turbo V8 will live on but sadly, we probably won’t see the high performance LC anytime 🥺
@jasonknowledge88244 жыл бұрын
It sounds like my old Lexus GS400 when the muffler broke. I always told people that's what they're supposed to sound like now LC500 proves that. 🤣😂🤣
@lions2084364 жыл бұрын
Enjoyed the review. If Lexus does decide to bring the LC F to market, hope people don't compare it to a Corvette. Nothing wrong with the Vette, but this car is better paired against an Aston Martin DB

If all that happened they’d really give genesis a run for its money Imagine if the RX went RWD… Combined w the 5.0L v8 and 10 speed and on an f sport, the active exhaust you have sheer perfection 😍 That v8 is amazing.

@@naveenthemachine you're not being realistic again as usual, which other company puts v8's in all their vehicles?

As far as the rear traction, this V8 isn't the torquiest, so I think they got the most powerful engine they could attach to this setup with 275s.

Awesome video! Lexus is a car you always buy used, IMHO. They never get old, and their technological deficiencies in infotainment is easily and cheaply addressed by the aftermarket. I owned a 2018 Civic Si for about a year, sold it and bought a 2010 IS350 and never looked back. I'm really not a fan of the artificial feel of turbo charged engines, I'm pretty much sticking to Toyota/Lexus. Maybe 10 years from now I will pick up one of these!

It's interesting how you compared this to the Aston and the Bentley, which can easily be double, and possibly triple the price. 911 is gonna be more expensive and the targeted shopper is different, really I think this is its own segment. The 8 convertible is not a direct competitor either for price and trim reasons, the S class convertible is not a direct competitor either for the same reason. I'd say that the 911 is it's the closest competitor, with the overall size and same useless backseats, but whatever, this is quite unique, just like any other similar cars mentioned above. I have never liked lexus before, but I admit this is a very good car.

This and the GS-F are the only Lexus' worth buying, what a car

GS-F only used but not new. For a new car the GS-F is dated

I’m in the process of buying a Inspiration series model. The dealership are bait switching from $121,500.00 MSRP, to $171,500.00. They don’t tell you this until you get ready to purchase it. I refuse to pay that inflated price for this car. The sales pitch is they are only making 100 of them, so that is why we mark them up by $50,000. I tell all the salesmen that these are niche cars like my 2012 SL63 AMG that I bought used one year old with 4000 miles for $99,500.00. The SL63 sold brand new for $151,500.00 and it was certified. I also bought a 1997 Plymouth Prowler with 2000 miles on it 4 years old for $32.000. The original owner paid $90,000.00 for a $38,000.00 car. These cars are sitting on showroom floors waiting for suckers, even the regular convertibles are being bait switched from $10,000.00 to $30,000.00 . I’ve done my research and I’ve found brand new 2019 yellow and 2020 green Inspiration Series cars still on showroom floors for discounts selling for $92,000.00 . Like you said I always tell the salesman I’m not in love with a car, and I can wait and purchase it at the right price. I tell them they can contact me when they are ready to sell it at MSRP, or I’ll just wait and buy it used with low mileage for $80,000.00 .

An LC500 is literally one of my current dream cars. Too bad it's unaffordable.

I see this as an SL rival not an AmG GT, 911 or Aston Martin rival and I would take the Lexus any day over the current Merc SL.
