The 2017 Lexus LC500 is one of the most spectacular seen at the 2016 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. It\u2019s a direct evolution from 2012\u2019s LF-LC, and is impressive as a result. Indeed, it was enough to win the prestigious EyesOn Design award, given to the world\u2019s most talented automotive designers. In fact, it managed to win the double, earning the laurels for both exterior and interior design.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Lexus-LC500-2017-4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s indeed remarkable how Lexus has managed to maintain its design fidelity over these three years since the LF-LC debuted. It\u2019s quite an achievement, and a historical success. In 2012, the LF-LC won in the Concept category.<\/p>\n

And the EuesOn Design jury is not just some mishmash of members of the motoring press; designers, art professors and automotive executives are all represented on the judging panel. The fact that both peers and experts that are making the decision adds tremendous value to the award.<\/p>\n

On addition to its sensational styling, the 2017 Lexus LC500 packs quite the punch in the power department. A 5.0-litre V8 resides under that long, sculpted hood and it\u2019s good for 467 horsepower and 389 lb.-ft. of torque, reflecting the figures made by the RC F and GS F models already in Lexus\u2019 line-up.<\/p>\n

While the V8 lump may be nothing new, the transmission surely is; for the first time, a Lexus model is getting a dual-clutch automatic. It\u2019s not just any dual-clutcher, either, considering it\u2019s got 10 speeds with which to work. Lexus is promising exceptional performance from the \u2018box.<\/p>\n

Of course for now, the big question of the LC500\u2019s price remains. Judging by the fact the car is aimed directly at the Porsche 911, we\u2019re probably looking at $100,000-125,000, depending on spec.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
