    This is the first car I've seen where the interior actually looks like what I think a car interior should look like in the 21st century.

      agreed 100% though I think black interiors are terrible, just like black paint. They hide too many lines and character. This car looks way better with the tan/brown or at least accented interior.

    To my ears, that is the best sounding naturally aspirated V8 out there.
    And compared to the competition, it looks out of this world. It is gorgeous!

    I think the Lexus LC V8 could become a collectors car, its beautiful. But i do agree with you with this interior colour , it would look better with another colours or two colours, but looks good. I would like to see a bit more interior fanciness like some of the mercedes do have.

    The lexus looks goooood... the problem is the tech... it's not only infotainment system... it's also the engine... it sounds so good why you ask? it sounds like old school V8s that we don't see from BMW... Mercedes etc.... because it's a very old engine... the 2UR-GSE been around since 2007... when BMW had the E92 M3 with a NA V8 engine or the W204 C63 with NA V8 as well... both sounded amazing like this but both are 2 generations ago now or 14 years ago!! Hence 0-100 is 5.7 seconds a good 2.5 seconds 0-100 slower than M8... or 2 seconds slower than M3 or C63... Reasons why you don't see many... it's a cool car though... but just not many people's #1 choice if they have 230k to spend.

    • @lamborghini0610
      @lamborghini0610 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah this is really ancient compared to the new stuff. It is also not in the same class, it's much slower, the infotainment is horrendous, I mean that reverse camera is terrible for a car well over 200K. Any equivalent would have full surround camera etc. I agree, it's a cool car, but not for 250k. Maybe 150K!

    Thanks Paul great review , great looking sports car and love that ATMO engine note. I feel they should of blacked out the front and rear light surrounds as it would of enhanced the style even more and looked less busy. Also love the little nod to the LFA with the on dash drive mode toggles and similar drivers display movement. Little let down is net storage in the cabin on a 200k car looks like an after thought as it’s a sports car and is not meant to be super practical. I would let that slide to hear that V8 rumble every day. The ISF with the same engine needs the same sound track ?? Thanks again loving the cars your reviewing 👍👍

    I am a big fan of the Lexus LC cars. Love the looks but yeah, lexus needs to get thier sh*t together with the infotainment system.
    The v8 sounds great... but it would be interesting for it to be compared with a 2015+ facelift 300 SRT with the 6.4, which sounds epic as well. Dying breed the big N/a V8s. (The jeeps SRTs are bit muted compared so needs to be the 300 SRT)
