Bel gioiellino ...sotto l'albero di natale ..
The attention to detail is simply extraordinary, even by Lexus standards. Take the steering wheel, which is hand-stitched using three types of leather for that perfect form and tactility.
It’s an exhaust note that has more in common with an Aston Martin Vantage than any luxury-skewed Lexus we’ve ever heard.
There’s a wild, angry nature to it, one that boded well for our drive from Seville to the Monteblanco racing circuit in Southern Spain, over some tight and twisty B-roads, despite heavy rain showers forecast for the area.
Pro: All-new front engine rear-drive platform that's stiffer than an LFA supercar; superb dynamics on-and-off the track; premium build quality and stunning craftsmanship; it's fast and it likes to rev; engine note, handling and ride comfort is right up there with best of Europe; 10-speed transmission is excellent
Contro: It's heavy, something Lexus seems to still struggle with; price will be a factor in the LC500's sales success; V6 Hybrid doesn't have the same wow factor as the NA V8
