Sport and luxury in one package
Lexus is known to dip into building performance cars, and when it does, it works hard to make them both powerful and luxurious. This is exactly the case for the 2020 Lexus LC 500. There's no need to choose between luxury and performance, as the LC 500 handles both. It has all the upscale features and materials you want combined with a stunning silhouette and razor-sharp body lines. All this is powered by a 5.0L V8 engine that pumps out 471 hp.
