Watch Now: The Lexus LC 500 vs Aston Martin DB11

Watch Now: The Lexus LC 500 vs Aston Martin DB11

By | Lexus News | No Comments

Watch Now: The Lexus LC 500 vs Aston Martin DB11. Wondering what it would be like for Lexus’s newest LC 500 to take on a super British car? When the LC 500 first came out we shared this about the model: “The LC will reportedly come with two engines initially, one being the 5.0-liter V8 out of the RC F and the other being an all-new 3.6-liter V6 that will be used in the hybrid version. The V8 will most likely carry over unchanged, but Lexus is expected to use a 10-speed Aisin gearbox, which would be a first for a production car. The hybrid, meanwhile, should be a significant performance upgrade over the GS 450h, making a combined output of more than 450 horsepower.If that’s not enough power for you, Lexus has also apparently hinted that an F-version is coming. It’s rumored to be powered by a 4.0-liter, twin-turbo V8 making around 600 horsepower.”

Lexus writes about the video, “AMCI Global tested the Lexus LC 500 against the Aston Martin DB11 with pro driver Justin Bell at the wheel for closed-course lap times, slalom and wet cornering. And what’d they uncover? “Check out the video to see how the LC 500 competes!

You Can Still Purchase the Impressive Lexus LFA

You Can Still Purchase the Impressive Lexus LFA

By | Lexus News | No Comments

You Can Still Purchase the Impressive Lexus LFA! We’ve written about the Lexus LFA before sharing, “The Lexus LFA, the only V10 ever made by Lexus, first came out in 2012 and impressed with its loud engine that only produces 553 horsepower and carbon fiber body. According to autoevolution, the Lexus development team originally wanted to create the body out of aluminum, but that proved too heavy and had to be changed to carbon fiber. This carbon fiber body is one of the main reasons that the Lexus LFA comes in at around $350,000. This price ultimately led to the Lexus LFA production being ceased after two years, but Lexus has plans for its next sports car the LC 500!”

According to some recent investigative research, Autoblog found that 12 LFAs are still available at US dealers and confirmed the availability with a representative of Toyota. There were only 500 Lexus LFAs made, with 170 of those making it to the US market. Clarification from Art of Gears explains that the LFA, unfortunately, wasn’t as successful as intended, so many models ended up at dealers where the models are more than likely not intended for resale, but for display or will become a future collector’s car.
