The LC 500 is the Lexus flagship coupe, the production realization of the LF-LC concept and the first car on the brand's GA-L rear-drive platform. Its naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 sends 471 hp through a ten-speed automatic, but the car's real signature is craftsmanship — the LFA's influence runs through its design and build quality. Among modern grand tourers it stands apart for keeping a free-breathing V8 in production well into the 2020s.
