REVIEW: 457bhp Lexus LC500 gains a host of mechanical updates for 2023, but does the V8 coupe leave us hot or cold?
Unfortunately, seeking to savour that V8 through the filter of the LC 500’s 10-speed automatic gearbox feels a bit like being given the last wagyu steak in the world, with a jus of Bird’s Custard on the side. Or licking your death-row, last-meal salted caramel ice cream dessert off a grubby prison sock .
In years to come, we’ll marvel that engines as good as this were ever partnered with gearboxes so unworthy of them, for the sake of a 5% cruising efficiency gain. Leave it in ‘D’ and the auto’s shifts come so often as to feel like those of a CVT. The only way you’ll have a useful idea of what gear you’re in is via the indicator on the car’s motorised digital instrument screen.
The seat cushions remain a little hard and short. But adjustability in the seat is good in any case; lateral support is, too; and Lexus’s ability to choose and combine leathers, suedes and chrome trim, and present them all so appealingly, gives the cabin lots of lavish, expensive feel.
