The Lexus LC500 Sounds Pretty Damn Sweet At The Nurburgring
Lexus' striking BMW 6-series rival can be heard making lovely V8 noises at the Nordschleife
Ignore the video title - unless there’s something very wrong with my ears, that’s the sound of a V8, and not the 3.5-litre V6 of the 500h version. The V8 in question is the same 5.0-litre, naturally-aspirated engine doing service in the RC F and GS F, good for 460bhp and 389lb ft in the LC.
Expect the LC to arrive in showrooms next year, taking aim at cars like the BMW 6-series.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Sweet candy
We all know the LC F is on the way - FASTER & LOUDER
Really hoping it isnt a heavy, slow disappointment like the RCF
LC500= Loud Car 500 DB (DB idea from Deoxide)
500 db.
How much would one of these cost?
Knowing Lexus very well, 70-100 thousand.
Imagine if they revived the V10 from the LFA though…
Can I please get a pic of smiling Clarkson?
That would be great but I don’t think it will fit and it will cost too much.
Doesnt matter how good it sounds.. Looks ugly AF… Get that maniacal grille out of the cars..
You look ugly A.D
Af* autocorrect
Corvette looking? Anyone?
Needs more loud
