In 2024, Lexus is set to redefine the luxury sports car experience with an array of exciting enhancements to their iconic LC 500 models.
From a cutting-edge touchscreen infotainment system to refined chassis upgrades, these improvements are poised to elevate the driving experience to new heights.
Revolutionary Infotainment System:
The centerpiece of the 2024 LC 500 models is the brand-new 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system. This state-of-the-art interface replaces the previous touchpad-controlled system, offering a seamless and intuitive user experience.
Say goodbye to complexity, and welcome a digital cockpit that’s both responsive and user-friendly, bringing the LC series up-to-date with the latest in technology.
Dynamic Chassis Enhancements:
Lexus engineers have left no stone unturned in enhancing the LC’s chassis. Subtle yet impactful changes to the suspension setup, wheel hubs, and engine mounts have been meticulously implemented to bolster steering response and overall road-holding capabilities.
Additionally, brake feel has been fine-tuned, guaranteeing a more responsive and secure driving experience. The recalibrated 10-speed automatic gearbox promises smoother gear transitions, while V8-powered models introduce the all-new Expert driver mode, allowing drivers to fully disengage traction and stability control systems for a thrilling ride.
Hybrid Power Upgrade:
The LC 500h, powered by a hybrid engine, receives an upgrade in the form of advanced lithium-ion battery cells. These cells enhance power delivery, ensuring the LC 500h maintains its reputation as a leader in eco-friendly performance.
Introducing the Ultimate Edition:
Lexus is adding an exclusive and ultra-limited LC 500 Ultimate Edition to the lineup. This top-tier model takes inspiration from the Sport+ variant but goes above and beyond with its unique features. The exterior flaunts a captivating matt finish Hakugin White, accentuated by black trim elements that adorn the head and tail lights, grille surround, and rear bumper finishers.
The 21-inch forged wheels in dark grey pay homage to the legendary Lexus LFA supercar’s iconic color scheme. Furthermore, the aerodynamic package receives subtle but effective enhancements, including front bumper devices and a carbon fiber active rear wing.
Luxurious Interior:
Inside the LC 500 Ultimate Edition, prepare to be captivated by the Kachi-Blue interior, extending from the carpets to the roof lining. White stitching elegantly contrasts this exclusive combination, which is unique to the Ultimate Edition.
The coupe boasts a full application of high-specification semi-aniline leather finish, while the convertible opts for a combination of leather and Alcantara for added luxury and comfort.
Pricing:
While prices for the main 2024 LC 500 range are yet to be confirmed, the LC 500 Ultimate Editions are available for those seeking the pinnacle of luxury and performance, with a starting price of £116,000 for the coupe and £122,000 for the four convertibles.
These enhancements ensure that the 2024 LC 500 models offer an unparalleled blend of innovation, performance, and luxury, making them the ultimate choice for discerning automotive enthusiasts. Elevate your driving experience to a new level with Lexus’ latest masterpiece.
