Lexus LC
The consensus among auto experts is that the rebirth of Lexus has a lot to do with the new LC flagship coupe and its spectacular lines. The leather- and Alcantara-trimmed cockpit puts much emphasis on comfort and thrills behind the wheel, while the 5.0-litre V8 under the long hood sends 471 horsepower to the rear axle via a 10-speed autobox. Just like the LS sedan, which is built on the same new global architecture, the LC offers a more frugal hybrid version rated at 354 horsepower.
