2018 Lexus LC500 – One Take

Check out The Smoking Tire Podcast by searching for it in the iTunes store or by going to: http://www.shoutengine.com/thesmokingtire The Lexus LC500 is a full-size "personal luxury coupe," in the vein of the BMW 6-series, Mercedes S550 Coupe and SL550, entry level Aston Martin's, and, to an extent, the Porsche 911. It is a clean sheet design on an all-new platform that will also underpin the next LS sedan. Under the hood is a 470 HP Naturally Aspirated 5.0L V8 with a 10-speed automatic gearbox. And what we found after a day of driving is that Lexus has hit an absolute home run and we love it. Full Disclosure: Lexus paid for travel, lodging, meals, and a shared test vehicle in order to facilitate the production of this video. Lexus also provided professional-grade beauty shots and drive by shots, and gave me a bag of Hawaiian Kona Coffee and a Hat. I gave away the hat, but I'm drinking the Coffee.
