re: Lexus LC500h sports car launched in India @ 2.16 crore

Might be a stupid question, but is it BS6?

re: Lexus LC500h sports car launched in India @ 2.16 crore

Lexus has launched the LC500h Coupe Limited Edition in India at Rs. 2.16 crore (ex-showroom).

Lexus LC500h sports car launched in India @ 2.16 crore-bascnfb8_lexuslc500hcoupe_625x300_05_march_21.jpg

Mechanically, it continues to be powered by the 3.5-litre, six-cylinder hybrid engine that generates a combined power output figure of 354bhp at 6,600rpm and 500Nm at 3,000rpm.

LC500h Limited Edition is available in three body colour options- White Nova Glass Flake, Sonic Silver, and Black.

It gets black Alcantara trimmed sport seats with Saddle Tan accents.

Quote:
The Lexus LC 500h Limited Edition is inspired by air-racing aerodynamic technology and features a newly developed rear wing finished in carbon fibre that aids handling. The new LC Limited Edition is inspired by a partnership between air race pilot Yoshihide Muroya and Lexus engineers.

Lexi of this generation have terrifying grilles. Can't wait to see cars starting to look handsome and beautiful again rather than monsters.

Attached below is the brochure of the car in case you are interested. —

Honestly, you can’t comment about such cars without experiencing them, since I don’t know if the aircraft aerodynamic wing is worth the 6 lakh premium.

Expensive gets even more expensive, and still no sign of the V8!

OT-

Aircraft + Lexus! V.Narayan is gonna love this car!

The numbers are way too humble for something costing 2.5 crores on the road. One needs something more exotic - think 8 cylinders & 600 BHP or so at this price. The M340i - a car costing 1/3rd this Lexus - makes more power from its 6 cylinder.
