Lexus LC
The Lexus LC is an extremely rare sight on Canadian roads. It started life a few years ago as a large grand touring coupe designed for motorists who want to drive a rolling work of art while enjoying breathtaking performance, the latter courtesy of a naturally aspirated 5.0-litre engine producing 471 horsepower. A fuel-efficient hybrid variant quickly joined the lineup, while a brand new LC Convertible makes its debut for 2021.
