As if Lexus’ stunning LC 500 grand tourer wasn’t already gorgeous enough, the company has now come up with a version that “evokes a more mature, refined coupe”, and ups the desirability stakes further.
Called the Lexus LC Special Edition, it’s an appearance package that brings a more classic colour combination to the LC’s modern, sculpted lines. The car’s Nori Green Pearl is a shade that looks like it came straight from the ‘70s, and is a hue exclusive to this edition.
In keeping with the classic style is the interior’s Saddle Tan upholstery, another colour unique to the Special Edition. This is applied to the L-Aniline leather (Lexus’ highest grade of cowhide) on the seats and centre console, while a darker shade is used for the Alcantara door panels.
The rest of the dashboard meanwhile, is finished in contrasting Black Amber to break up the monotony of everything being a single shade, with brown stitching tying everything together and showing off the craftsmanship of Lexus’ workers.
The interior is finished off with a laser-cut scuff plate that bears the edition name and an L-shaped motif that echoes the lighting signature of the LC’s taillamps. A glass roof is also fitted to allow more light in, a feature not present on the regular LC.
Mechanically, the LC 500 Special Edition sees no changes compared to the standard car, but that’s little hardship as the 470hp naturally-aspirated V8 is one of the most charismatic engines available on any car today – watch our video review to hear it in action:

Alternatively, you can have your Special Edition LC in hybrid form, which shares its 3.5-litre V6 and electric drivetrain with the LS 500h limo. All prices are available on request.
