New limited edition Lexus LC 500 Bespoke Carbon

Following the limited edition LC 500 Hokkaido, built on the basis of the Lexus LC 500 Cabrio, the Japanese brand now launches a new exclusive edition, this time for the LC 500 Coupé. Called Bespoke Carbon, only one unit is planned for sale in the Spanish market. Its price, in keeping with the car’s exclusivity: 157,500 euros, which is around 30,000 euros more than a standard Lexus LC 500.

What does the LC 500 Bespoke Carbon come with?

But no, despite the substantial price increase, don’t expect anything new under the bonnet of the LC 500, where the 5-litre V8 with almost 480 CV still roars. Not that it needs more power, performance or character, to be honest.

What makes this special edition different is, first of all, the Sonic Red body colour, with the interior upholstered in black Alcantara. Though you’ll surely also notice the new fixed rear spoiler, larger than the standard one and reinforced with carbon fibre. Or the 21-inch five-spoke wheels, which are forged and finished in the same black tone seen on several bodywork elements, such as the grille or the headlight surrounds.

Lexus also adds two elements designed to improve driving dynamics, such as the Torsen differential and the “Performance Damper”. The latter consists of lateral dampers specifically designed to absorb and minimise vibrations.

Standard equipment on the LC 500 Bespoke Carbon includes a heated leather steering wheel, an audio system signed by Mark Levinson and instrumentation projected onto the windscreen.
