Lexus LC
The Lexus LC is a unique sports car. In addition to bold styling, top-level performance from its 471-horsepower, 5.0-litre V8 and efficient operation from the available 354-horsepower hybrid system, this luxurious two-door model proves highly reliable. Rear-wheel drive is standard and there is no AWD option. Waning demand means the LC’s days are numbered, but for the time being, the big Lexus continues to make a singular statement either as a coupe or as a convertible.
