Lexus is taking the luxury coupe to new heights with the all-new LC. Designed for performance and world-class luxury, the LC is turning heads wherever it’s driven. The LC’s unique chassis, roaring engine, and uncompromising comfort deliver a driving experience like none other. Here are a few reasons the LC is setting the standard for luxury coupes.
Power
The LC 500 is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V-8 engine. Paired with a 10-speed automatic direct-shift transmission it puts out an impressive 471 horsepower while recording a 0-60 time of 4.4 seconds.
The hybrid version, LC 500h, is equally impressive with a total system output of 354 horsepower. The LC 500h uses Lexus’ new 10-speed multistage hybrid drive transmission for a responsive, fast, high-performance luxury coupe experience. The proof is in its 4.7-second 0-60 time.
Performance
The LC line is crafted with performance in mind. Advanced steering and braking systems and nearly perfect weight distribution allow the Lexus LC to cruise through corners and fly down the highways with effortless ease.
Drive Mode Select features allow you to customize your drive, whether it’s a commute to work or a trip into the mountains. Race-inspired features like the magnesium paddle shifters provide an intuitive feel to your driving experience.
It doesn’t just go fast, it stops on a dime too. The LC comes with high-performance monoblock aluminum six-piston front calipers with two-piece brake rotors and high-friction brake pads.
With the Performance Package, you get a carbon-fiber roof, Alcantara sports seats, lightweight forged aluminum wheels, Active Rear Steering, Variable Gear-Ratio Steering, and a speed-activated rear wing.
Safety
The LC comes well-equipped with the Lexus Safety System, a suite of safety features designed to keep you safe and help avoid accidents. A Blind Spot Monitor system uses advanced radar and video technology to monitor your vehicle’s blind spots. When another vehicle enters your blind spot the Lexus LC will provide visual and audio cues alerting you.
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert uses the same advanced technology to alert you when a vehicle or pedestrian passes behind you. This is particularly useful when backing out of a parking space in a busy parking lot.
A ten-airbag-system works in tandem with the Lexus LC’s rigid body structure which has built-in crumple zones. In a crash, airbags deploy while front and rear crumple zones intentionally compress, distributing the force of the collision to lessen the force of impact, and keep passengers safe.
The LC is also equipped with a Backup Camera with dynamic gridlines to assist you. The full-color display with grid lines helps you maneuver your vehicle into tight spaces. The Intuitive Parking Assist system uses technology to identify objects with location and distance to help you avoid hitting objects you might not normally see.
The Lexus LC is setting a new standard in the luxury coupe class. Well equipped in today’s market, there’s no other model like it. Come out to Fox Lexus of El Paso and test drive one today to see for yourself why the LC is the only choice for you!
