Like a fine wine, the Lexus LC just keeps getting better with age.
Lexus has continued to further refine the LC every year since the car's 2018 introduction, and the 2023 model sticks to that trend.
The key change for the new model year is a more taut suspension for the V-8-powered LC 500, aimed at delivering a nimbler vehicle and increased driver feedback. Tweaks made to the suspension are said to enhance steering feel and provide a more linear steering response, resulting in what Lexus describes as improved steering effectiveness during high-speed cornering.
For buyers looking to sharpen things further, there's an available sport package for the LC 500 that adds multiple upgrades including a Torsen limited-slip rear differential, Yamaha rear dampers, performance brake pads, and 21-inch forged alloy wheels . The package also adds Alcantara trim on the seats.For cars equipped with the standard glass roof, the 21-inch wheels feature a polished finish with gloss-black accents.
The V-8 is Lexus' familiar 5.0-liter V-8, rated in the LC 500 at 471 hp and mated to a 10-speed automatic that Lexus said was updated to deliver more direct shifts. The LC 500h hybrid grade features a 3.5-liter V-6 and electric motor combo good for 354 hp, as well as an electronic continuously variable transmission in combination with a 4-speed automatic, which together simulate the feel of the transmission in the LC 500. The LC 500 is the quicker of the two, delivering 0-60 mph acceleration in about 4.4 seconds. In both cases drive is to the rear wheels only.
