Commercial: The Art & Science of Lexus High-Performance


Lexus USA brings the heat with new commercials featuring a rare look inside the Motomachi assembly plant where the LC coupe is built and some A-list drifting from racer Rhys Millen:

Here’s a gallery of some of the Takumi responsible for building the LC, along with some stills from the commercial:

Great commercials...but does anyone else find it really ironic that they are featuring the LC in track footage and showing it it alongside real F cars (implying its an F car)? We have real world proof from an LC owner here on the forums that the LC cannot handle sustained track use. It makes sense of course because the LC is not a real F car, but a regular Lexus model. Perhaps Lexus should have saved the track footage for the rumored coming LC F.

Lexus markets the LC as a Performance Lexus. Its that way on the website and even on graphs at Lexus Racing its included. Yeah its odd but it is what it is.
I think this is a case like with F-Sport or AMG-Sport where buyers want some flimsy reassurance that it's high performance (even though they know otherwise) before they go and drive it to Costco.
