The 2025 Lexus LC 500 Is A Bespoke Built Relic Destined To Become A Future Classic Car

[@joskjj3625]

I hope lexus continues to make the lc500 for as long as possible

[@MyGoogi]

and updates it systematically or build a new generation of it which deserves to be the true descendent of this LC.

[@jonathanjones1814]

I agree its such a beautiful car, the next model needs to offer atleast 500hp also even though the interior is beautiful its starting to look a dated considering its the same since 2018 outside of the info-tainment screen.

[@liamj5091]

I don’t even wanna think of the day it gets discontinued😢😞

[@cindymmm11]

Same

[@SimonGonzalOS]

This is the best looking car out there if I'm being honest. Every time I see it in person it makes me feel like I saw an exotic Very few cars these days that are beautiful outside of an Aston Martin but this is up there with that (looks wise) and this color on this model with the blue, white, and orange interior would be crazy

[@SimonGonzalOS]

You in the orange shirt is the other color option that's available with blue and white! Funny how you wore the exact color!

[@QueenRyanKnockedtheFuckOut]

[@GhostOutTheShell3035]

It is an Exotic. It's foreign, Japanese.

[@datacipher]

This car was a tremendous disappointment when I saw it in person. Looked good in pics, was even wondering if I could justify buying one. In person it doesn’t flow. Almost looks superb but the back end lets it down. Wide haunches which I usually like but here there no vertical bulk in the back. It ends up looking like a hammer turned flat. Evocative of the sensibilities of some 70’s dune buggy. It looks like somebody took a beautiful car and gently put the rear end in a crusher. The lack of vertical bulk also makes the nose look a bit too long. It’s a shame. The car is an 8 but could have been a 10.

This car never gets old. Drop dead gorgeous and classy in person.

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

Dang this car is already 7 years old? It still looks gorgeous from every angle, and Lexus did it right with this design. It's so timeless and elegant and even if they still keep it like this, the way it looks will continue to age gracefully.

Yeah but then they proceeded to wipe their butt by 1. not offering three floor pedals and 2. making the LC weigh 4350lbs. Is that an acceptable weight for a sports car, bruh?

[@xMikeisonfire]

@@VBMichael_D It's not a sports car, LC literally stands for Luxury Coupe. It's a GT.

[@alexrf04]

​@@iabarreraThere is no difference, whether made in the US or Japan it is exactly the same, the US uses the same working method that Lexus Japan uses, the only brand that differs drastically is Hyundai, Hyundai US does not does not work or follow the same working methods as Hyundai KOR (Ulsan factory), hence the problem of thefts, poor reliability, poor customer service, Hyundai US is a disgrace, they never They adapted, so Hyundai KOR doesn't even think about manufacturing its electric cars in the US Alabama because they know it will be another catastrophe...

It's lovely in pictures, but it's just absolutely striking to see in person. It's sad that there isnt more of these on the streets. They're definitely worth their price.

Why don't you tell me why all of these types of older sports cars that I'm talking about, are increasing in value? Find me a mid 90s 6 speed MKIV Supra/FD RX-7 or Z32 in good shape for less than their original MSRP. It's not my fault you don't understand, and are too thin skinned to not cry when people point out stupid things and yes, the LC500 weighing 4500 lbs is F#$@ING RETARDED, especially when 1. my 2006 GS430, also with a V8 AND four doors weighs only 3750 lbs. Tell me why it takes the 471hp LC500 4.8 seconds to go from 0-60, when the 2005 STi I owned, could do it that fast with just 300hp. Sadly it will be many year...nee, it will be never when you realize how much you and every other GTR/LC500 nutswinger, are projecting.

[@DJSH98989]

That's honestly my ideal dream car a fast grocery getter. I would love to have this car but I need more space

[@VBMichael_D]

As an owner of an 2006 GS430, the GS-F is the only Lexus that excited me. THe LC500 should 1. weigh less than 3500lbs (it weighs 4300) and 2. should have 3 floor pedals. If you geriatric clowns can't be bothered to learn how to drive a manualy, you damn sure don't need to be behind the wheel of a 500hp car like the LC. GTFO. At least the 4 door sedan GS can justify a heavier weight. 2 seat sports cars should not weigh as much as a pickup truck.

[@Marc-King777]

LOL. Well, the good news is you can still get a used 2020 GS F with low miles that's still in pretty good condition. And you know they will last forever and hold high resale value.

[@VBMichael_D]

@@Marc-King777 You can still get them, but they aren't going to be cheap. They are STILL going for $50K+. Also if you're worried about the resale value in so how much you could get for it when you sell it, that makes you sound more like a used car salesman than an enthusiast.

I pray they give us an LC-F before they discontinue it. I wouldn't even care if they did nothing differently with the engine, it's almost perfect as it is. Just more track/race oriented setup, tighter suspension, more aggressive visuals and seats, lighten it up a bit more, and tune it for track use.

1000% I'm with you. Take my money now. Let's hope they do that for the final year model.

There is a launch mode. Lock out the traction control until two lights appear on the left and right sides of the dash. Press the brake and it will hold rev at 2,000 rpm. Release the brake and you will easily hit 60 mph in 4.4 secs.

[@lazyeye77]

A work of art. It does not need soft closing doors or a scent diffusion feature to add to the cost of the sticker price. Also, it seems as though you had traction control on, which may be the reason you couldn't reach the advertised 0-60 speed.

Video does not do this vehicle justice. To the naked eye, it is one of the most gorgeous cars ever designed. That, coupled with the fact this car is relatively rare might very well turn this into an investment opportunity in the future. On top of the looks, you get that wonderful naturally aspirated V-8 and all the associated visceral sounds. And to top if off, it's a Lexus, so you'll most likely be able to drive it until the wheels fall off. I just wish I could afford one!

[@lostalx]

Old infotainment dash was much better than this abomination. Touch pad was never a problem. You drive the car, not the Infotainment. It ruined the dash and lost its clock.

[@Justkhi3]

prolly one of the nicest cars to be made and it offers everything for what most people are buying it for. Just wish it had more aftermarket support. I think only thing you could really do is an exhaust and a body kit 😕.

[@edmasoud2826]

Great review and your video quality is amazing. I was shopping for GT/Sports car, and looked at Mercedes GT, 911 GTS, and even C8 and these cars are plenty fast and modern looking. But something about the LC intrigued me and I pulled the strings and got the 2024 in ultrasonic blue with carbon roof. It is an amazing car to drive. I also made this choice because of Lexus reliability and long term ownership. I also think Lexus at some point won't make the LC500 as the car industry is pushing towards electrification, so this legendary V8 won't be around for ever.

[@stevehunter7402]

The LC500 V8is to the IS-F/IS500/RC-F as the discontinued Audi R8 V8 is to the V8 RS4/RS5. It’s a shame Lexus didn’t make the twin turbo V8 LC-F but at least they are putting that same engine into the Lexus LFR instead

I like the wheels on this example I know when the LC 500 came out in 2017 the wheels look great however when this bespoke came out the black wheels look just as mean as far as the engine choices they offer a V8 and a hybrid V6 which is a complete downer so the 5.0L is the highest sell volume and the take rate is off the roof 18:13 the only person would fit in the back seats is Wee Man from Jackass cuz his height is appropriate

19:13 huge disagree. I’ll be happy to get an older used model with the infotainment that doesn’t look like a tablet stuck to the dashboard. Couldn’t care less about the infotainment having a touchscreen. Either I’ll get used to the pad or I won’t. Doesn’t matter. Looks way better with the screen tucked into the dashboard like it belongs there and I think it’ll age far more gracefully with it tucked away. Regardless of how either looks now, both will look dated in the future but one of them is going to have that screen sticking out like a sore thumb while the other is mostly tucked away. Just my opinion though.
