This car was never about being the fastest. It's about the harmony of speed, sound, and fun.

In my opinion, this is truly the best car in the world in terms of both engineering and design

I share the excitement. I've owned my LC500 for four years now and simply cannot part with it. They truly are amazing vehicles, dare I say one of the best and I have owned over 100 vehicles (currently have 8). They check so many boxes and are a beautiful balance of aesthetics, comfort, reliability, usability, power, and uniqueness. It's the first car I've had I can do a 2600-mile road trip to Carweek in and have no qualms about driving more. I should also mentioned the typical 30-33mpgs out of the 471hp N/A V8 on road trips is unheard of. I love my current Ferrari, but this car gets more compliments, ironically. Thanks for the review!

I had this car before the R8. I loved it. White with the same exact interior as this one. I just wanted a bit more muscle. The LC feels really luxurious though and is super comfortable. Got about the same amount of looks as the R8

Wow, a hidden gem of a car. It looks so modern and stylish and different to anything i’ve ever seen.

In Australia in the 70s and 80s the lovers of V8 GM Commodores and V8 Ford Falcons used to say there’s nothing like the sound of a V8 and this 5L V8 is 100% exactly why there’s nothing like the sound of a V8. It does all V8s super proud.

Its design is so good that deserve to stay in production for 20 years

[Mursedave]

Those up and down shifts are phenomenal!

I rented an RCF for a week down in Phoenix earlier this year. I loved my Challenger TA 392 because of the comfort, Hemi and styling. I fell in love with the RCF for similar reasons and that engine is just amazing. After that week I researched more into Lexus sport coupes and I’m convinced the LC500 would be the perfect fit for me. Yeah there are faster offerings but the visceral experience you get with that 5 liter V8 is second to none. Not to mention the comfort and quality of Lexus. Then add the styling and back road performance. It all just makes it the perfect muscle car in my opinion.

Saw one of these parked in person, same color and everything and I couldn't keep my eyes off it. It was absolutely gorgeous and had such a presence in the street. An absolutely masterpiece of engineering

I put the Armytrix exhaust on mine. With valves closed it sounds 100% stock, but when you open those valves this V8 sounds like it came straight from hell. Absolutely love this car to death, definitely the start of my collection!

[TireSlayer]

I worked for Lexus for a minute and loved when these would come in. They look and sound so good in person. I’ve also seen a couple out on the road, and it’s one of those cars that, as good as it looks just sitting still, it looks even better in motion.

I am the proud owner of a ‘23 LC500 convertible. Beautiful exterior, stunningly comfortable interior and an exhaust note that just sings. Drive one, you will buy one. Plenty of power and just enough Japanese quirks to make it unique 🏖️

It's not poor mans LFA. It's modern day Supra. This is exactly was Supra was with mk4, expensive, exclusive looking and overengineered. This is the actual successor and not the BMW Zupra

[WillMotivation]

Dope video! Back to the roots is never a bad thing my bro. Keep the content coming man we missed you.

[andys]

Pulled up beside a LC500 the other day and holy. I used to like the nsx but my mind has changed now

[jh]

This is brilliant content. Enjoying the reviews a lot makes this channel way better, and we can see you're happier and in your element. Keep it up, Mike, doing fantastic

[ted]

Plenty of journalists talk about it! It's awesome! The competition is not M4 or C63 lol. This is a GT car.

[marcelpatel]

Glad your doing Japanese cars Mike. It's about time...
