Lexus LC Limited Edition revealed ahead of Paris Motor Show

Japanese car manufacturers are renowned for a love of making special-edition machinery, and Lexus is the latest to introduce another to its line-up with this — the aptly named Lexus LC Limited Edition.

There’s a yellow theme for this variant of the sports car, which was first introduced in 2017. The bodywork is finished in an eye-catching Naples Yellow paint colour, which continues to the cabin — where the black door panels feature yellow Alcantara inserts.

Yellow stitching features on the white leather seats, instrument panel, steering wheel and centre too, while the headliner is furnished with Alcantara.

As for technology, Limited Edition buyers can expect a head-up display, 10-way power adjustment for the front seats and a 13-speaker Mark Levinson audio system for no extra cost.

Completing the package is a set of 21-inch alloy wheels, with the Lexus LC Limited Edition available with two powertrains. The first is a 3.5-litre V6 hybrid powertrain with 472bhp and 648Nm of torque, making the coupe capable of 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds before hitting a 155mph top speed.

There’s also a naturally-aspirated 5.0-litre V8 variant, producing 470bhp and 540Nm of torque. The result is an identical 0-60mph time and top speed to the hybrid.

No official word yet on how many units of the Lexus LC Limited Edition will be coming to the UK, nor how much it will cost, but order books are set to open in November. Expect to hear more news following the car’s public debut at the Paris Motor Show in October.
