LDH (Lexus Dynamic Handling system) lifts driving performance to a higher plane. Together with EPS (Electric Power Steering), VGRS and DRS (Dynamic Rear Steering) control all four wheels independently to enhance the vehicle’s limit while cornering, line trace performance and stability, to enjoy a higher level of sports driving. (Sport+ package). VGRS (Variable Gear Ratio Steering) optimally controls the steering angle in response to vehicle speed and steering input, helping to realize excellent maneuverability and stability from low through to high speeds.
Lexus LC Sport CFRP scuff plates
CFRP scuff plates further reduce weight. The subtle contrast of the gloss/matte finish exudes a refined sporting quality.
Lexus LC Sport Active rear wing
The retractable rear wing integrated in the trunk lid automatically deploys in response to higher vehicle speeds to provide aerodynamic downforce. The driver can also manually operate the wing using a switch on the instrument panel. (Sport+ package)
Lexus LC Sport Sport package front seats
To provide excellent support against the lateral G forces experienced in sports driving, the seats use an innovative ‘integrated foaming’ structure, holding performance around the shoulder and lumbar support was enhanced, and they are finished with Alcantara on the center of the seatback and cushion.
Lexus LC Sport CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics) roof
At the Motomachi Plant in Japan, Takumi craftsmen apply carbon-forming technology developed for the Lexus LFA supercar. The use of CFRP creates a roof with strength and rigidity comparable to steel but with less weight, contributing to the low center of gravity at the heart of sports driving performance.
Lexus LC Hybrid DMI (Driver Mind Index)
Working in tandem with the simulated 10-speed automatic transmission, DMI selects the optimum gear based on the driving environment and accelerator and brake pedal operation, to quickly match gear selection with the driver’s intention. The first hybrid vehicle to feature M-mode, it enables the driver to directly select and hold any gear using the paddle shift switches, to provide quick shift response to match their intention, for a dynamic hybrid sports driving experience.
Lexus LC Hybrid 3.5-liter V6 engine
The hybrid system’s V6 engine integrates advanced technologies that include Dual VVT-i (Intake side: VVT-iW) and D-4S fuel injection system. Lightweight components further contribute to both powerful driving and outstanding environmental performance. A focus on reducing friction losses in the engine helps boost peak output revolutions from 6000 to 6600rpm.*
Lexus LC Hybrid Multi Stage Hybrid System
The Multi Stage Hybrid System’s 10-speed shift control provides a direct acceleration feel that follows the increase in engine rpms, together with excellent shifting rhythm. The Multi Stage Shift Device varies the combined output of the engine and motor, amplifying engine power and increasing drive force by 24%. It utilizes engine speed in a wide range from low to high speeds, harnessing maximum engine output from 50km/h, as well as enabling high-speed driving at lower engine rpms for a quiet ride.
Lexus LC Performance Front and rear suspension
The innovative front and rear multi-link suspension features a double joint multi-link design which also enables the low hood line of the LC’s alluring silhouette. Optimal tuning and the layout of each arm contribute to the linear steering feel, superb stability, and exceptional ride comfort of a premium sports coupe.
