The Lexus LC Limited Edition could be fitted with the world's first four-stage hybrid system

A new special edition of the Lexus LC luxury coupé has arrived. It is called the Inspiration Series and is limited to 100 units in the United States, where it will go on sale this autumn, although it will also reach European dealerships next October. And the prices? The brand will publish them closer to the sale date.

On the outside, the new special edition of the Lexus is instantly recognisable by its Nori Green Pearl paint, which is exclusive to the Lexus LC 500 Inspiration series. The same goes for the 21-inch wheels, which are painted in two tones. The interior has also been given a makeover, featuring a two-tone colour scheme that combines Bespoke Saddle Tan, another unique feature, with a darker shade of Alcantara.

To provide greater contrast with the cinnamon-coloured seats, Black Amber leather trim is applied to the dashboard, centre console, doors and steering wheel. The rear lights and sill plates are inspired by geometric shapes and have been personalised through laser cutting.

The new limited-edition Lexus LC 500 is fitted with a 5.0-litre V8 engine with no mechanical changes, meaning it still produces 471 CV and a maximum torque of 540 Nm. Power is sent to the rear axle through a ten-speed automatic gearbox and a limited-slip differential. Like the standard variant, the new Inspiration series accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds and is capable of a top speed of 270 km/h.

Lexus LC 500 Inspiration, luxury arrives in the coupé

The Lexus LC, an style icon since its launch three years ago, gains a new level of sophistication this year with the introduction of the Lexus LC 2020 Limited Edition. According to the brand itself, “by blending the sensational lines of the LC with a range of classic colours, this new limited-edition LC evokes the idea of a more mature and refined coupé, without giving up the modernity of performance, technology and style that make it so desirable”.

The finishing touch on the Lexus LC 2020 Limited Edition is a personalised plate on the door sill, which marks the limited-edition character of each vehicle. Every time the door is opened, these laser-engraved plates, which reproduce the geometric shapes of the rear brake lights, subtly remind you of the vehicle’s exclusivity.

The Lexus LC 2020 Limited Edition will reach European dealerships at the end of 2019 in the self-charging hybrid version, which features the world’s first four-stage hybrid system. The Lexus LC Limited Edition is also available in Graphite Black and Titanium.
