The all new Lexus LC 500 review by team atRobert Scherzer NYC

Lexus LCis the latest in the luxury division of Toyota. Robert Scherzer NYC is here with a comprehensive review of this spectacular beast. Lexus LCis a grand toured personal luxury car which is based on the LF-LC concept created by Toyota Calty Design Research in Newport Beach, California. Codename “950A” Lexus LC 500 is one of the most beautiful vehicles running on the street today. The interior is as fantastic as the exterior. Toyota did not cut corners on the aesthetic variation of this model as we at Robert Scherzer SUV New York City discovered.

There is a powerful 5.0-liter which is well statically and is dynamically balanced. Also, the V8 engine gives Lexus LC 500 a 751 horse power at 7100 revolution per minute with minimum vibration. All in all this is quite a super performance for a luxury car.

The engine is a naturally aspirated  32 valve V8 featuring direct fuel injection working in Atkinson Cycle with an advance VVT-I technology. Lexus LC reaches 60 miles per hour in less than 4.5 seconds. That is something that amazed us at Robert Scherzer NYC as well.

Talking about transmission, it has 10-speed direct shift automatic transmission directly coupled to the engine. This is the first time such a technology is being used in a luxury car. The brakes will not disappoint you at all. Braking has an excellent efficiency because of ventilated disc and high coefficient of friction disc pads that have 6-piston front calipers and 4-piston rear calipers.

Lexus LC 500 & LC 500h has various safety features which include Pre-Collision System, Radar Cruise Control, Lane Departure Alert and Intelligent High Beams. Pre-Collision system has sensor which detects obstructions and gives assistance while applying brakes, it also activates brakes automatically when collision is inevitable. Radar Cruise Control gets into play during cruise control mode to maintain a safe distance from front traveling vehicle at a preset distance.

Lane Departure Alert is a Steering Assist having camera mounted on the windshield, and lane marking is tracked with notification to driver and can also automatically correct steering to keep within lanes when activated by user. Intelligent High Beams automatically switches high and low beam as per oncoming vehicle.

Lexus LC 500 and LC 500h gives you an additional safety with a pop–up hood having series of piston to elevate the hood to minimize personal injury in case a pedestrian gets head on impact.
