Fast forward almost a decade, and the Lexus presents the LFA’s spiritual successor, the LC 500h, which it intends to bring to India in 2020. Lexus is known for making exemplary cars that are soft, luxurious and pandering. But when they do step out of their standard operating range, they come out with cars that are nothing short of magnificent. The LC sits in that space.
The design theme of seduction and technology is definitely winning. There was a time when I thought the spindle nose grille was gross. But on the LC 500h, it focusses the entire car around that front end in a spellbinding visual. It has the stance of a grand tourer, with the long hood, low-slung bodywork, sharp distinct creases, large low-profile tired wheels, the coupe-like silhouette, and the short overhangs. This is a car that would distinctly stand out in a field of other sports cars.
