2021 Lexus LC500 Coupe For Sale

As early as 2000, Toyota began working on design concepts for an advanced, halo-type sports car for its Lexus brand. Over the next eight years, this LF-A concept evolved from an initial design by famed Italian designer Leonardo Fioravanti to a fully- fledged production supercar that made its debut at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show. Offering only a limited production of just 500 examples, each LF-A was custom ordered by its owner and then hand built by a specialist team at Toyota’s Aichi factory.

Then, in 2016, Lexus debuted the more accessible LC (Luxury Coupe) at the North American International Auto Show. Built to replace the previous SC model, the LC was built on Lexus’s new GA-L platform, but it featured more aggressive styling reminiscent of the LF-A supercar. Under the hood, the new LC500 featured an all-aluminum, 32-valve 5.0L DOHC V-8 engine that produced 471 HP and fed that horsepower through a 10-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters.
