2018-2019 Lexus LC 500h
In the space of just 27 years, Lexus has had a transformative effect on the world's luxury car market. Engineering excellence has produced generations of powerful, responsive engines and transmissions, while its pioneering hybrid technology has taken efficiency and smoothness to ever higher levels. Cutting-edge design and a contemporary approach to luxury based on master craftsmanship traditions further emphasize its status as a world-class luxury vehicle manufacturer.
Now Lexus is building on its established strengths and evolving its reputation for vehicle development to explore new opportunities in design and technology that reshape its model range.
Not only has Lexus delivered a design with high visual impact, it has also developed ground-breaking engineering and technology for the LC. The Lexus LC 500h features Lexus' new Multi Stage Hybrid System, which offers enhanced performance across engine speeds, a more direct response to driver inputs, and a higher level of dynamic performance and driving pleasure - all while maintaining the smoothness and efficiency that are characteristic of Lexus hybrids. The Lexus LC 500, powered by a normally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 engine, also marks a first in the premium car segment with its new Direct Shift 10-speed automatic transmission, featuring gear ratios spaced to achieve smooth, linear and rhythmical acceleration.
Sharply angled sheetmetal and a massively meshed grille hint at a serious performance car, and the LC delivers. The LC is heavily enhanced with carbon fiber and high-strength steel; Lexus says it has the highest torsional stiffness of any of its models to date. Under the hood beats a 471-hp 5.0-liter V-8 driving the rear wheels through a 10-speed automatic transmission. Steering and brakes are excellent but cannot entirely hide the LC’s 4400 pounds. A hybrid with 354 hp is also offered.

Lexus Safety System+ includes Intelligent High Beam (IHB), which is designed to detect oncoming traffic and vehicles ahead and automatically switches the headlights between high and low beam. This helps maximize illumination to give the driver the best possible field of vision when the road ahead is clear, while minimizing the risk of distracting oncoming cars.
