The All-New Lexus LC: First Drive in Spain

[spwolf]

^^^ We haven't even discussed if the LC will get the new LS engine for its MMC or even before then....

Not sure how will that work, i doubt they will replace V8 with V6 turbo. Might be future base engine but that does not make much sense either?

i don't understand why it so heavy

LC got a lot of weight reduction material = carbonfiber , aluminum and it still heavy (As close as THE HUGE Porsche PANAMERA and 100 kg Heavier than the new BMW 5 Series!!!!)

where is the weight come from? .... 5.0 v8 is heavy ? it weight nearly the same as 3.5 + hybrid motor+ big battery in the trunk

is it possible for 2.9-3.0 liter twinturbo version to make it lighter?

the rear subframe still a metal , if that thing made from aluminum just like the front subframe

is it possible to make this car lighter

1.900 kg i am not sure this weight is including CFRP Roof Option, or panoramic glass roof

i wish LC-F Should Be Lighter , V8 Flatplane crank twin turbo , Drysump , lithium Battery ,Rear aluminum subframe and Carbon Ceramic brake to make a car lighter


.........................
OK

if i forgot about the number i think this think is a pretty good car , good noise , Fast enough, good looking , superb reliability it is a great GT car

in that clip 3.6 Hybrid it sound so nice !!
it just like the JAPANESE ASTON MARTIN

Don't know, the LC500h sounds fake as hell. Way too much synthesized noise in it.

The LC500 on the other hand sounds brilliant. Amazing sound and the transmission is really what it is being hyped about. Sounds amazing through shifts and super quick.

I think Black is the best color for it, which hides that off gap at the top of the grille.
The other colors call attention to it. In black, it becomes seamless, as it should.

As I already said, I prefer the LC 500h. It equivalent to a German turbocharged 6 cylinder but with better sound and fuel economy, and should be more effortless to drive.

The LC makes the 6 series that I really liked look bland!

C/D review is stupid as always, and so is the comments section. They put the fact that it's not as sporty as the 911 as a low. HELLO!?!? Do you know what segment this competes with? This is a full-size luxury coupe that is reasonably. NOT A SPORTS COUPE. Did you guys ever criticize the S-Class Coupe for being overweight? And in the comments? People are saying that this isn%27t a "proper Supra." Who said that this is the new Supra? This is much more larger and premium than the Supra will ever be. If you guys look in the comments section, you wil lose all faith in the enthusiast/troll community. You will also see me pointlessly trying to correct their stupid comments. Some say they'd rather see a TTV6 than the NAV8!

They bash NA V6 and prefer TI4, then they bash the 718 because it has T4. Stupid remains stupid.

I need to set aside some time to binge-watch all of these videos and read your review Kevin.

You just have to accept the fact that there will always be Euro fanboys that are rigid and shoot down anything else that isn't from Germany. As an enthusiast, we all should appreciate everything, even if there are certain ones that we appreciate more (and actually buy). Don't ever get down to their level of tomfoolery. If I bother to read these articles, it's just for the reviews and I usually skip the comments.

I read it as due to an extreme LC burnout. :laughing:
Me waiting

I don't know how you could buy an NSX over this car.

I get buying a GT-R because it's on another level with performance, but vs. the NSX? No way.

Lexus is always measured with different stick, but thats the way it works. You cant have everyone liking the same thing, or else nobody would buy anything else. Different people, different things.
