2018 Lexus LC500 - The Best Lexus Money Can Buy
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2017
- A concept car gone production, the newest Lexus flagship coupe takes everything that we loved from the stunning LF-LC concept and brings it to reality. From its breathtaking design, screaming V8 engine, segment first 10-speed transmission, and all-new GA-L platform. The 2018 LC500 marks the first time you may catch yourself staring at a Lexus coupe in your driveway or out on the road.

This car sounds ridiculous!!! If money wasn't an issue there would be one in my garage! Well done Lexus!
the downshifts sound pornographic.
Living the Dream hoping for depreciation here, looking to buy a used 45k M3 but I would go for this Lexus any day, maybe I should just wait
Mario Gonzalez good luck waiting for them to depreciate 😂. Compared to other coupes the LC is selling well but they didn’t make many of them so finding one below 45k might take you 5-6 years and higher miles. Not that the miles matter considering how reliable Lexus vehicles tend to be.
@@huythai1222 agreed,and the resale value of lexus is higher than any other car.
This shit looks way better in person
It does, it's kind of wierd how small it is yet it's really heavy, I guess it's the luxury built into it.
Right! Never thought it was THAT nice until I saw in person, then I was like daaaaaaaam
your right bro. I saw the car in person i could not stop looking at it. Its so beautiful .
I've seen this in person as well. It's MUCH nicer looking in person. If you like the look here, wait til you see one in person.
Jdm uncle ! Yea I wrk at Nissan next door to Lexus and they had a red 5.0L, sound was amazing in the showroom and it's very low and wide in person
Lexus is at the top of the luxury game in my opinion. Forever my favorite.
there are other good cars too. I wouldn't limit myself to one brand. Just saying.
@@asitmc Yeah nigga we know your just sayin, you just said it, dumbfuck.
The Golden Nugget Agreed, I like them the most because they are the ultimate example of quality and reliability
메케산대포쑤시개 no shit
@@asitmc Anything more reliable?
Yes it does have what it takes to compete with BMW Mercedes etc, I would get this in a heartbeat if I had the money. Looks beautiful, and it's reliable unlike other brands. Good job done by Lexus.
And it has the interior build quality of something far more expensive too
Lexus is far superior to BMW/Mercedes, but people are badge whores like most Asians so they get the BMW/Mercedes. Having a BMW/Mercedes doesn't fix their bad teeth and bad breath.
German fanboys say their cars are the best, yet they break down within 25,000 miles and Lexus can go a 500,000 miles easy. The brainwashing is strong in Germany. You think a n F-Type Coupe or the Merc GT are made to last?
smasila you are dammmmm on point, they buy cars for badges, think it make them rich, lol wait until they break, they won't feels rice anymore. Lexus is expensive to fix too but they break much less then BMW or Benz
Wilson Hernandez I'm happy Lexus make sport couple, fast,reliable, high quality. The only thing I don't like is I think it's auto only, and push start. Wait until the button break man it can cost you $1500 to fix.
smasila I'm the only Asian who from China drive a 05 Mustang gt manual with supercharger. So it hard to make car friends who just like me, they fall for the European badges. They don't know about cars
This is the first car I've ever seen that actually looks almost exactly like the concept car version.
Ive been a hardcore BMW fan boy for a decade. Owned a 2011 335i, 2012 E92 M3, and a 2016 F80 M3, and I’ve recently just purchased this car and let me tell you, I regret NOTHING. Just how often you hear that from a Die heart BMW owner?
With you actually having common sense, you must have used your blinkers many times
I kid. I kid
Do you still have it? How is it???? Thanks!
Gorgeous car. Well worth the price.
That car is sexy as fuck. Hands down. End of review.
L O L
I'll make love to this car all dayyy
Beauty is very much objective. This thing is hideous and only a debased mind can think its anything but.
As I mentioned in your last Lexus review, there is remote start using the key fob...when the car is locked, just press the lock button 3x while holding the last press until the car starts.
What, do you need him to acknowledge ?
You can also download Lexus Enform to your smart phone and turn on your car from anywhere. I do this with my lexus in the summer so my car is always nice and cool by the time I am ready to drive home from work. :)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Yamaha makes the 5.0 V8's for Lexus which is why it's so good. Yamaha also made the V10 in the LFA and that is the pinnacle of eargasm.
They help build some of the components and tuned the sound of the V10, it is still built by Lexus, I dont know about the V8 thought, as far as I can tell that V8 has been since the IS F if not earlier.
Moar Desu No ..Yamaha don't make v8 engines ,the v8 engines are from the blue print of the 1Uz v8 that came in the Lexus LS 400 and sc 400 ,the uz engine family was replace with the 5.0 v8 UR series all made and designed by the Toyota /Lexus same for the v10 in the LFA they only used the Yamaha department to tweak the sound alittle they did the same thing when they made the JZ series ,1 jz ,2 jz .what people don't know is that Toyota has a lot of departments under their company Yamaha is one ,Beams,Tom's performance ,the F series and TRD.Toyota has a lot of goodies man people just don't notice it because most of them are brain wash by the mainstream media to bash the company and see them as boring auto makers but they been making big engines ,and sporty cars they just don't come to North America they even have a v12 motor a lot of people don't even know that ,but Toyota made the v8 motor and only hand Yamaha tune the sound ,go watch the making of the LFA and they will show you how Yamaha tune the LFA .
sleepybird09 they sure did bro sure did ,and they had that contract with them since 1984.
Toyota owns Yamaha
Zinizzle facts 💯%
When you own this thing, it's like even washing it becomes exciting😂
Best lexus and review.
zaid tareen needs to drop the adjectives though. Really, seriously. That would be very phenomenal.
This car is porn!
5:18
The seats are only 10 way adjustable
*Meanwhile, crying in my manual 2 way adjustment*
My little acura rsx all with rust:(
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CAR EVER MADE😍
I totally agree. Have mine for 3 years and still love it.
Dude I cracked up at "turn off the goddamn.....lane departure alert" lmao
The look on his face - like he wanted to punch the alert system right in the nuts!!
I get that way with my seatbelt beeper. Finally I pulled the dinger on it, even though someday it may save my life, tired of hearing it.
I've owned a white LC500 for about two years. I get looks and thumbs up every time I drive it. It's always fun to drive. I even like washing it.
5:10: You're comment on the seats were not fully thought through. No matter Lexus, Cadillac, Kia or Ford - Good seat design shouldn't require 14....16 way adjustments. At this car's luxury position, Lexus got the seat design right. Rule of thumb is the less tinkering they have to do with any one item means they got the design where it should be - especially at this price point.
He said that the seats were high quality, but they could use a bit more customization like its competitors. Sounds pretty well thought out
When the seat is very comfortable to begin with, it doesn't need much adjustment or customization. The seat in the LC 500 is considered by most who have reviewed it as the most comfortable sports seat in the industry and yet still very supportive during spirited driving. They even went as far as saying "why can't the Germans make seats like it?". The competitors have more adjustments because they're not very comfortable to begin with.
The LC 500 has the most comfortable seats i have ever sat in. My GS350 has 16 ways adjustable seats and it doesnt even come close to the LC 500 seats.
Yeah, because everyone has the same anthropometric build...
Tully3674 I agree but for a different reason. Bc it is designed to a sports car so you want to conserve weight
Heavily anticipating the F Version. Stoked !
Btw great review. Great info
I enjoyed your review, and feel it is quite accurate! I bought an LC500 a week ago and have been pleasantly surprised! It's as fast as my 2012 Audi R8 (V8) and it's actually quite alive on spirited drives, very impressive overall so far! Cheers!
Looks best in white. Also this dude's voice is really soothing lol
Agreed, but I think yellow looks good on this as well with the red lights
Thank you for this fantastic review you are the king 👑 of car reviews plz keep going with these revew god bless you😍
agreed.....i LOVE this guy....he knows his cars....he is best in class......
Great job on this review. Fantastic work, big improvement in delivery. Your reviews are getting better.
I enjoy your reviews, this is the first review where emotions revved high, great to see. Car looks and sounds amazing, excellent job capturing that intoxicating exhaust sound.
Great review. I knew this car would be sexy when it comes into production but I had no idea it would have the performance to match. Great job Lexus.
Toyota is on a roll ... The LC 500 ... the new camry with 300 horses ... The supraa in 2019 ....
Qezt Nest Back to their good roots.
Qezt Nest canary with 300 hp? Is it natural or turbo?
chocolatewheelchair Camry is an NA. Nothing amazing as muscle v6s have 300 horses but for it being a Toyota its a nice option
chocolatewheelchair naturally-aspirated v6
franz wetrfres interesting. Do you know the displacement? The Q60 is 3.0 twin turbo 300 hp by comparison
One of my Neighbor's bought this exact LC. Absolutely GORGEOUS in person. Beautifully made! Wow!
Probably the most excited I've seen Sofyan in quite some time! Great review as always. It looks way better in white than in silver to me.
"Holy Sh**!! I'm speechless!" Awesome, Sofyan! Great review of a truly special car.
Honestly can't wait for the LC-F
Its going to badass. Its rumored to have 600hp
Toyota4Life Lexus needs to step up! BMW already has the M8 running, and the 8 series isn't even unveiled yet.
I had the pleasure of driving (chasing) next to a modded RC-F the other day. Wow, it's V8 sounded insane! The guy was gunning it for me.
Toyota4Life wow..... Lol
If they get it to 3.5-6 0-60 they winning
@@Toyota4Life 600 HP? Holy cow!?! That's going to be a beast!!! :)
The best luxury coupe. This is make S Class coupe looks so dull.
How lol
By the look alone. Lol
EDDY SENG o man compare sixe by side inside and out ans tell me u would still take the lexus...lol
The both look good in different ways. This is more stylish while the S coupe is more classy.
Looks like Lexus kicked out all the Accountants and brought back the car lovers. Toyota/Lexus have always had the ability to make stunning cars, but the accountants wouldn't let them.
Thank you for making these videos, they're very helpful!
Lol, you seem surprised lexus could build a car with engine/performance like that - remember the LFA?
Mohammed Jaffer one of the designers of that car crashed it & died if I remember correctly.
chocolatewheelchair yeah he did die
Abe crazy story
Mohammed Jaffer We never got a chance to drive an LFA. No doubt, we were impressed by its specs but the reality is, they sold them for one year and not very many people could afford its price of admission.
um... the ISF? the GSF ? the RCF ? stop acting like Lexus is new to this performance game. Get with the program and stop being surprised Lexus can make a car like this.... and EVEN if you didnt drive the LFA the LFA is the reason why this car exist... just because you havent driven it dont mean you act like it doesnt exist. Im sure u have never driven a veyron but im sure you kno its badass right ? so how is the LFA any different ?
Phenomenal job Lexus!!!!
Just saw one in person yesterday and it is STUNNING!
I've been waiting for this car. I love it. Great review as always!
Sofyan, great review once again. When I saw the first part of the interview start with the camera assisted angles, I started to dread a non POV interior review. As I and many people stated before, this is your signature approach and feels very good to watch. When I noticed it was a half half.. I thought, wow, he nailed it. Really great balance. Having a camera man for the outside styling queues is actually dynamite. Keep up the great work!!
Werner Kayser Thank you for noticing that! We felt sticking to a POV angle for the inside would be the best balance as well and are glad to hear some positive feedback from you guys! Thanks for watching :)
Its a beauty! 😍
This has the most amazing sound I have ever heard. I would buy it just for the sound and the reliability.
Awesome review. I just bought mine today! 2018 with performance package in obsidian black. It’s a beast!!
Congrats! Saw your post on the forums! Did you get a chance to drive one without the performance package? I'm hoping to buy soon and all we have in my area are sport/touring versions :/
Chocosawse Thanks!! Nope, I just drove just the performance package!
Irl this looks so much better saw one coming from school today i was really surprised unless it was another lexus but they are stepping it up
Good review!
ARMYTRIX can I have an exhaust for my Camry 🤔
marxie uwu A Camry.. what
another great review. I own this car with the same sport-performance package. Love the look on your face as you drive it hard. It is truly a remarkable Lexus. I do think it's a solid competitor with the Aston Martin BD11. It is so much fun to drive and it actually drives exceptionally well on the track. Ive driven it at the Indy Motor speedway road course and NCM. I also own a 911 S which is more of a sports car and built for the track, but the LC totally exceeds expectations. Great review, love to see your reviews!
It’s 2021 and a used one with low miles still costs around 70k. Waiting a few more years so that I could get one under 50k.
Excellent review
when you opened up the map some poo fell out seeing that i live right by there ahaha. great review as always!
Love your genuine enthusiasm
This car is amazing and beautiful!!
It's such a beautiful car. There's a lot of rumors and speculation that a twin turbo version of the 5.0 V8 will be the LC-F engine. God I hope so.
2:13 2:25 Let us take a moment to appreciate how beautifully crafted that C-Pillar is
One of the hardest places to combine a sense of style with structural strength
Lexus did it perfectly
Very informative review. Always a joy to watch.
Sofyan, you do some of the best informative reviews out there. A little bit of a stickler on the design of the key fobs sometimes but still excellent all around reviews.
This car is friggin A. MAZING. Reliable supercar? Yes please, and make mine the hybrid. I have a 2017 ES300h and it is the nicest thing I've ever owned and driven. I'm hoping I might be able to get an LC gently used in a couple of years.
Gently used -)
It’s worth every penny
I love all videos about car of you. Very detailed and nice. I’m thinking about lexus lc 500 2024 . Is it really good and worth buying? I hope you give me some advice. Thanks
When you punch it the looks on your face are priceless!! Thanks for the awesome review
Duck duck goose.
King huh? Ever heard of Honda
Kris24011 yes we all heard of their transmission issues
Lexus is king
Tell that to Carlos Sainz 😅
@Jose Garcia Speed? The NSX is faster then anything Lexus offers.
This should have been the platform for the Supra!!!
I disconnected my active exhaust flaps so they are always fully opened. Now it sounds like a supercar all the time in every drive mode, any speed :)
One of the most amazing car designs of modern times! Bravo Lexus
I almost forgot this was a Toyota. Well done lexus
Red-Haired Shanks it’s a Toyota Supra under the Lexus name...
ntxim ntxub actually it's a lexus there is no toyota version. Even the new supra is not the same car. Think before you post
Supra and this have very similar styling.
JoeDaFivefoota they're basically the same company so it pretty much is a toyota anyway
I almost forgot the 911 is a Volkswagen. What a moronic thing to say...
Best car reviews without a doubt, dude please do a review on the Kia Stinger/Genesis G70 when they come out.
Thank you! As soon as they become available, you can bet we will do our best to get a hold of one for a review!
Wow! I cant wait to watch the whole review that cat looks amazing!!
this car is absolute pimp. i have watched this video a zillion times. thank god toyota has upped their game.
I love the look on his face at 19:22!! 😂🤣 wonder if that's his climax face?! Lmao
BlakeParker15 Lmaooo underrated comment
S class coupe and BMW coupe look so plain and boring compared to this masterpiece work of art Lexus ! That V8 sounds incredible as well !!!
Right ? Bmw has fake ass sounds. The 8 series is a mustang.
@YungGBone124127134 I'm totally onboard with other people thinking the LC is boring. That just means the resale values are more attainable for people buying used ;)
That grill is not a masterpiece. It's effing hideous.
@YungGBone124127134 Yeah, hopefully Lexus continues to make exciting cars. The RC-F was a little bit of a disappointment for me, but the ISF, LFA, and now this LC are all exciting cars that can compete with the Germans, and still carry the Lexus reliability.
@@MoeGreensRightEye no
Man this car is so gorgeous, the looks alone make me love this car and I wish I could own one one day.
Stunning. Lexus is clearly hitting on all cylinders with their cars lately. This one is absolutely beautiful.
Great review as always but (correction) it's 398 ftlbs not 389
I know your sitting on that CX-5 Review! I saw the instagram post. RELEASE IT!!!
Ew why? Lmao
Who cares about a CX-5 lol
Toyota4Life a lot of people actually. The compact SUV segment is now the most popular in the automotive industry. The Toyota RAV4 has beaten the Toyota Camry in sales worldwide this year and it might have a chance of dethroning the sales king the Corolla. It's kinda unbelievable ik, but I guess that is where the automotive industry is shifting. 85% of the car buyers worldwide could care less about a Lexus LC, BMW M6, Audi A5, Corvette etc.
couldn't* care less
I really like your reviews, you get technical, but not too over your head. Very good details for the everyday drivers..All in All excellent reviews!
Hey mate, if you like Lexus reviews, I've made a few on them. If you have time let me know what you think :)
That high rev start 🙌🙌
Please god let this depreciate quickly. I just need like....50% in 3 years.
I won't lol it's a Lexus.
hghghg the rcf flopped massively but this has a more timeless desing
It’s $75000 average now...
Kevin Schmidt I’m waiting for the off lease returns 😂😂
Amen, brother! 😅
Mr. Sofyan I see that you start to keep car keys for your next/upcoming videos kept in the armrest. I seen the lexus key in your Corvette GS video and thought maybe your getting a lexus next and now Im watching the LC500 video. You did the same thing when you showed a car before the 2018 Chevy Equinox and had the chevy key in the armrest. Very Clever. Keep up the great work !
Chris Fame You got us! We try to put reviews up in order of when we get them. We just happened to get the Corvette and LC500 at the same time.
Been waiting on this review 🙌🏾
Credit to you for actually giving constructive criticism on the faults. If I were to review this I would just out right say everything is perfect! Nice video!
what song is that starting @0:40?
TWO THINGS; 1. Yes, the car has remote start built in, (Push lock button 3 times and hold. car will start). 2. To lock the door just gently push and release door handle and car will lock... no forcing needed.
Lol true
Outstanding looks
LEXUS BRAVO VALUE BEAUTY AND STYLE GOT TO DRIVE IT SOON FOR MY SELF.🗺🌞
Amazing car it’s worth every penny quality quality quality good job Lexus as usual Lexus deliver the best
Wow!! Stunning vehicle!
A six speed manuel transmission would be the only thing that's missing.
Emmanuel Vega The take rate on that would be so low unfortunately.
Jonathan Washington they should make to order
Stevorn Richards True, but you have to understand they have to design a manual just for this Coupe, which would cost god knows how much and not to mention redesigning the whole center console and layout. The cost of that and maybe some other things and the low take rate would be 0 to none. Its not worth the risk unfortunately from a manufacturer's standpoint.
Emmanuel Vega most people don't want to drive manuals that's why the Dodge Viper didn't sell
Emmanuel Vega lol no it's not no one would buy it, it's good as is
Love the outtakes!!!
I am amazed and astonished that Lexus built this car! It looks straight up like a concept car!!
Wakanda car is this? Amazing!
don Foreva!! this car is.
I recpect turbo engine but is nothing sweet than a N/A high revving engine this thing with a intake will sound even deeper growl this thing is sweet as fuckk
Man, I've had a huge smile as you reviewed this Lexus, whatta turn out from the librarian of the car world.
That V8 sound... Lexus, I don't know what you're on, but PLEASE keep doing it! This car sounds GODLY!!!
Mad Pistol
i was gonna kill you, I thought you said "this car sounds ugly"
17:55 tries to shift into 1st gear going 32mph🙄
Clearly he can’t really drive... he was complaining about not being able to shift into first in several other cars which makes no sense when doing more than 15-20mph...
Yeah, this dude is an idiot
@@ckneasel it makes a lot of sense, I have an Audi RS5 and the car is pretty slow in the 2nd gear when going 15-20 mph, in the 1st gear it flies. The S-Tronic gearbox does a downshift in the 1st gear on its own at lower speeds if instant acceleration is needed.
That will happen if you grew up driving hondas LUL
It's what happens when you learned to drive on a PS2. On a real manual car with a manual clutch, you never shift into 1st unless you are at a full stop, or rolling stop sign speed. And even then it will often grind if you are not sitting still. 2nd is the lowest safe rolling gear.

“The seats are very well abolstered”
Beautiful car, inside and out, everything just flows so seamlessly. Glad that Lexus engineered a car to preform as good as it looks.
This car is wonderful. Sounds like a beast when on the throttle.
FYI... I spoke with the local Lexus dealer's technology specialist regarding installing software for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. For the foreseeable future, Toyota/Lexus have no intention of installing either of these two features. Just thought you'd like to know. For me, that is not a deal-breaker since I've been driving Lexus vehicles for nearly 10 years. You just can't be the reliability.
Use one. You'll see what you're missing out on. (hint: a lot)
www.apple.com/ios/carplay/
I would say its like a better integration of GPS and any additional features and apps manufacturers lack in.
See for yourself. I won't go back now that I have it. Bad decision, Lexus.
Its funny I never use android auto on my car even though i have it.
Car OS is always about 3-5 years old because of very strict safety regulations so it feels slow. I don't know how Carplay and Android Auto gets away with it but it's much newer and faster.
Yasss betch, yasssss!! I was going to the gym, but I think I'll wait.
Alex K why
Alex K ur so gay lol
lmao
Doubt very seriously you of all people would have anything to worry about.
Love the rev natural aspirated v8 with massive air intake stock combine with advance transmission gearing and widebody showstopper personality, nice video SFB
MOST ENJOYABLE VIDEO TO WATCH THAT YOU HAVE EVER MADE!
sofyan bey? more like sofyan bae
It's also reliable lol
reliability is so overrated.
@@kristians2704 your car actually being able to start is overrated? Are you slow? 💀
@@jjax3661 all new cars are reliable for the first 5,6 years and most people that buy/lease new luxury cars won’t keep them for more than that.
@@kristians2704 that’s not true at all lmaoo yeah you’re definitely slow
@@jjax3661 aside from land rover, all other brands ARE reliable for the first 5,6 years or so and most people that buy NEW luxury cars (not used) won’t keep them for more than that. Lexus and Acura are two of the most overrated car brands out there.
The Lc500 reminds me of the LFA alot... Both my dream cars
Excellent Job!! Best selling car!
