Curator’s note
A concept car that made it to the road, with a 7,100 rpm V8.
The LC 500 grew out of the LF-LC concept with almost no changes to its shape. Under the long bonnet is one of the last naturally aspirated V8s on sale, with an exhaust that sings to 7,100 rpm.
- Naturally aspirated 5.0 V8
- Takumi-crafted cabin

The story
Lexus LC 500
The LC is built on the Motomachi line that once made the Lexus LFA supercar, by many of the same craftspeople.
Its Structural Blue paint copies the way a Morpho butterfly’s wings create colour without pigment.
