RE: Lexus LC500: Driven

[R8FUN]

Just been to look at the LC500. It was a Sport + in Red with beige interior.
Its an absolute stunner, the attention the detail is amazing - & the sound!!

If that's with a view to buy then you're a lucky lucky man!

I need to get saving.

And as for the noise, yes. What red blooded car enthusiast can say this doesn't sound good?! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMK8mDrIehE

Know someone who works at a Lexus dealer and they're saying it's the best car they've had for sale in years.

I've driven an LC500, it is a lovely car to drive. Lexus will sell a truck load of these to 6 series, Maser, XK/XKR, Aston and even 911 customers. It looks gorgeous in the flesh and the fact that it's a peachy NA V8 makes it all the more appealing. Not expensive either compared to it's competition.

Like that a lot!

I went into my local dealer today to check one out and I have to say in the flesh it does look great. The one I saw was the Hybrid version in Sonic Red with the Ochre Alcantara (tan) interior. I have to say the interior has to be on the best I have seen in any car, not just in design but also the quality of the materials used, and that includes some serious high end metal.

Apparently it’s all hand finished. The LFA influence is very apparent which is a good thing plus the driving position was close to ideal for me as a 6ft 2in guy with perfect peddle positioning.

The exterior does have some very neat design touches, if you seen one in the flesh check out the rear light when they are on, very cool.

The one obvious negative with the Hybrid car was that the boot was very small as it appears the battery takes up a lot of that space, hopefully the V8 will be better

I liked it so much I have arranged a test drive for Saturday in the V8, I will report back
