Lexus LC Performance Multi material body

The design of the chassis was driven by a sharp focus on structural integrity to enhance the basic performance potential. Optimizing the layout and the use of aluminum and hot-stamp, high-tensile steel contribute to the lightweight, high rigidity body structure, reinforced by the use of body adhesives, laser welding and laser screw welding. To further lighten weight and lower the center of gravity, aluminum and CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics) are used for a variety of components.

Lexus LC Performance Engine sound

The sound generator and generator hoses utilize pulses in the engine air intake to generate and harmonize 3 different high frequency tones during acceleration, producing a highly distinctive and sporty engine sound unique to the LC. An aural experience in its own right, the vibrant engine sound is enhanced by special sound-control valves in the exhaust that activate during start-up, producing a localized sound image that projects a feeling of space and depth.

Lexus LC Performance Direct Shift-10AT

Feeding dynamic control for driving exhilaration, the close gear ratios of the advanced 10-speed automatic transmission realize equal intervals between gears and shifting, for quick rhythmical shift changes with a good tempo and upbeat engine sound as you accelerate through the gears. The wide gear ratio range enables powerful start-up acceleration, yet is exceedingly comfortable during high-speed cruising.

Lexus LC safety PUH (Pop Up Hood)

The innovative PUH helps to provide pedestrian protection in the event of a frontal collision, and at the same time enables a sporty design with a low hood line. When sensors mounted in the front bumper determine that the vehicle has collided with a pedestrian, the hood instantly pops up on four fulcrum points to create a space to help absorb the impact force.
