Lexus LC500 FAQs

• Is the Lexus LC 500 all wheel drive?

  No, the Lexus LC 500 is only available in rear-wheel drive configuration, regardless of which variant you choose. If you're looking for a comparable car that is equipped with all-wheel drive, you still have plenty of choice, including the likes of the Audi R8, Nissan GT-R or the Porsche 911, to name a few. You're spoilt for choice at this end of the market, as long as you have the wallet to back it up!

• How fast does a Lexus LC 500 go?

  Thanks to its thunderous engine, the Lexus LC 500 can easily roar from 0-100km/h in well under five seconds, making this one blistering unit even if Lexus doesn't publish an official sprint time. With a top speed in the vicinity of 270km/h, the LC 500 also has the potential to reach incredible speeds, although those will have to remain a dream while on Australian roads. Nonetheless, overtaking power is the real showpiece here, with your choice of coupe or convertible packing an almighty gift to get you ahead.

• Is the Lexus LC 500 a supercar?

  Ask a bunch of people what makes for a supercar and you'll likely get a whole bunch of different responses. The definition of a supercar has changed markedly over the years, and if you had asked about the Lexus LC 500 ten years back, it probably would have been categorised as a supercar. Today, it's simply easier to refer to the LC 500 as a super car, because that's what it is. From its gorgeous exterior to its splendid cabin, wide-ranging features list, and ripsnorting engine, everything available here screams incredible. There are more high-end cars than ever before, so the lines are definitely blurred when it comes to categorising them as supercars. Just know this is one car that justifies its premium price-point.
