RE: Lexus LC500 by Liberty Walk

[Blayney]

If you want a modified LC500 (don't think it needs it personally, one of the best cars on sale today)

Gordon Ting has done it better already.

This is one of those times when I am glad that PH articles only manage to use images in a shockingly low resolution.

You will go to the states & the Liberty Waly stuff sells well, in the UK we like standard it's a different market over there you can order your car lowered & with different alloys from the main dealer.

I normally like the Liberty Walk stuff but they chose the wrong car it needed a more subtle touch more along the lines of the Gordon Ting one above, but the Liberty Walk RC-F looks great.

IMO he got it right in 2016:



Then smashed it with the 2017 version:

Very boy-racer, very Fast & Furious. I like it, but I don't think I would want to admit to owning one. Clicked on the LC500 link to view the original car, looked pretty dull in comparison. Somewhere between the two would be my preference.

Any chance we can have less of this stuff in 2018? Cheers

I'm the opposite show me more of the stuff tuners are doing, like the Litchfield RS3 etc, I can read about all the standard cars coming out elsewhere.

One of the many nice things about where I live is that I will never have to see this sort of thing in person. Thing'd be bottoming out over every other hill.

Where do people drive cars like that, I would loose the splitter within 400 yards of my house, and we are in a town.

Of course, I wouldn't want to drive it though, because it would be so embarrassing to be seen in, I would have to wear a paper bag over my head

If anyone wants to modify the LC500, all they need to do is fit a manual box and I think it would be brilliant.

No 45° camber? Surprisingly understated from the japs.

Wallet Baz at his best.

Love it. Anybody who buys these kits is a hero in my eyes. The ‘I don’t give a fig’ attitude warms my heart.

Like others have said, LW are my guilty pleasure and if I had loads of spare money to waste I’d get one of these below

[big_rob_sydney]

Really not impressed; frankly all these cars look the same to me. Big riveted on arches, oversized wheels, and lowered to the point of being useless in the real world.

Why???

[FourRingedDonuts]

Love the Ducktail!

Hate everything else.

[V10Ace]

Love it..... but I probably wouldn't want to own it as there are better cars and ways to spend my money personally...

Tongue firmly in cheek here, but the amount of dislike these creations get is funny....
So low you can't drive it on the road you say? Splitters going to bite the dust per chance?
Body work added seemingly haphazardly? Smashed its way through Halfords?
So we talking about the Senna again?

This 'creation' is about as usable and likeable as the Macca, just different sides of the street that's all. One is a manga based styling wk fest, the other is an aerdynamists' wk festy effort at race car.... Compromised for road annnnd compromised for track.
Both legitimately admired and legitimately laughed at.

Well that's crappiest car of 2018 wrapped up. Spectacular effort.

[ZX10R NIN]

I thought that title was taken by the Mclaren.

The Gordon Ting version is stunning, very well executed.
