“The scintillating and characterful 2018 Lexus LC coupe now has a price tag. The flagship Lexus two-door starts at $92,975 for the V8 LC 500 model with a 10-speed automatic. The hybrid V6 LC 500h will start a bit higher at $97,485. So for under $100,000, you can have one of the best-looking Lexus coupes of all time. However, that gets dangerously close to, and even exceeds, the six-figure range when adding options. Choosing the Touring Package will add $4,000 to an LC 500 and $2,400 to an LC 500h, keeping both models under a hundred grand. The Sport Package with Glass Roof will push the hybrid over the six-figure mark with a cost of $2,750. Both packages add blind spot monitoring, parking assist, heated and cooled seats, and a glass roof. The Sport Package provides Alcantara seats and a limited slip differential, while the Touring Package includes leather seats and a Mark Levinson sound system. Opt for a Sport Package with a Carbon Fiber Roof, and the price jumps significantly. It adds $7,000 to the V8 model for a price of $99,975, and $5,400 to the hybrid for a total of $102,885. For big spenders, there’s the Performance Package. The big draws here are the rear steering, active rear spoiler, and variable steering ratio system. It adds $10,000 to the the LC 500, and $8,790 to the LC 500h for totals of $102,975 and $106,275 respectively.” (Joel Stocksdale, Auto Blog Journalist)

I’m assuming the Performance Pack automatically comes with LSD as standard. That said, this feels like a worthy successor to the SC lineage. I would love to see one get the VIP treatment and/or lowered on less-busy wheels.

Can we get that converted into Tercels or long beds?

Considering there have only ever been 4 Lexus coupes (SC, LFA, RC, and LC) the “one of the best-looking Lexus coupes of all time” isn’t exactly a brilliant superlative. To me, this is the hierarchy:

1. 1991-2000 SC300/400

2,999,999,999,999: LC (sounds like Elsie)

3,000,000,000,000,000,000: LFA

4xinfinity: RC

I’m actually excited for the inevitable Lexus LC vs Mercedes S-Coupe comparison.

I find it odd that the active spoiler and LSD are not standard equipment.

Its a RWD, 400+hp car that people might want to drive in rain/snow. And its not like active spoilers are that expensive and clearly it helps the car if they offer it.

With that being said I am so looking forward to buying one used in 5 years, modding the exhaust and reliving my ‘ol SC400 days.
