Can’t decide if you want a sports car or a luxury car? The 2018 Lexus LC 500 balances both well, so it’s sure to check almost all your boxes. This sharp coupe features a stunning silhouette and a cabin that blends a sporty feel with upscale materials and features. Add to this a 5.0L V8 engine that pumps 471 hp and 398 lb-ft of torque through a 10-speed automatic transmission, and you have a legitimate performance car on your hands that zips to 60 mph in a mere 4.4 seconds.
The 2018 Lexus LC 500 has no issues living up to the performance expectations its looks create. Its 5.0L V8 powerplant and 10-speed automatic transmission deliver legit straight-line speed, eclipsing 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds. Plus, the adaptive shocks and huge staggered wheels and tires keep it firmly planted in the corners.
Though it’s a true sports car with a sport-tuned suspension, the 2018 LC 500 delivers a smooth ride. Instead, its suspension does a fantastic job of absorbing bumps and keeping road noise to a minimum.

Want an upgrade? Opt for the Mark Levinson package and get a 13-speaker, 835-watt audio system, heated steering wheel, or the available head-up display.
Lexus knows you want plenty of standard driver-assist features to help ease your drive, so the LC 500 includes lots of them. The standard driver-assist features that’ll help ease your daily commute include adaptive cruise control, active lane control, forward-collision warnings, automatic emergency braking, and a rearview camera. You can also add a handful of optional driver-assist features, such as blind-spot monitoring and parking assist.
Once you slide into the 2018 Lexus LC 500, there’s no mistaking this car looks to pamper you with premium materials. Leather, synthetic leather, and soft-touch materials surround you throughout the cabin. It also features tasteful satin-metallic accents throughout and aluminum pedals to break things up a bit.
