Lexus LC 500 drives California’s Angeles Crest Highway

To whet your appetite for a test drive, we took the amazing new LC 500 on one of California’s most iconic canyon drives: The Angeles Crest Highway. The launch of the stunning LC 500 luxury coupé marks a brave new era for Lexus. Revolutionising the way we develop cars, preparing the LC 500 for production demanded both great imagination and a totally new approach. Despite having the freedom of a blank canvas, our design team faced huge challenges: How to create a low coupé roofline, but at the same time offer a spacious 2 2 cabin? Taking months to deliberate and sculpt just one single character line, our designers and clay modellers refused to compromise. Nothing was left to chance. So, as the LC 500 prototype neared completion, its aerodynamics were perfected in the world’s most advanced wind tunnel, before high-speed trials began on Fuji Speedway and the Nürburgring in Germany.
